I have always been very anxious about seeing a doctor. It took me years to finally talk to one about my anxiety and get medicated. Things were going great from then on until recently.

I have just lost my pregnant aunt (whom I was incredibly close to) and through the stress and grieving of it all I haven't remembered to take my medication, so my anxiety is through the roof once again.

Talking to him about that will be relatively easy though, I think. I've done it before and I can do it again, however now I have a whole bunch of other things I need to discuss with him and I fear he will tell me I am exaggerating or that I am a hypochondriac.

I am already awaiting results for seizures that I have had this past year and now I am about to add a possibly pregnancy into the mix.

I know I am being silly and that doctors deal with all kinds of people and problems everyday but as I am signed off sick and my doctors line is about to run out I can't help but panic that he will think I am making it all up to have the sick line extended.

I definitely overthink things and I know I am doing just that right now but its causing me to delay making an appointment.

Has anyone had anxiety about seeing a doctor or fearing not being taken seriously?

I really need all of this dealt with but I have no idea how to get myself to push my worries aside and take that first step.
