Terribly anxious to go clinic, especially to see the doctor. I have had a nightmare before about being killed there. :-C

Oh, my, well, you know intellectually that you're not likely to be killed there. If this is your first visit, then you'll just be asked some questions, so the therapist/doctor can start getting to know you. They aren't really, really personal ones at all.

I have been to many such places over the years and I'm still here to tell the tale. Remember that you're going there to get help, just like you'd go to a regular doctor's office.

Just posting to tell you that you're not alone. It's my first time as well. I was shaking a lot when i had to phone.. Ill have to go in the middle of school so people will be questioning..

Even though it is almost a year that i have been going to there, i still had a panic attack and stomach ache when i visited my doctor on Tuesday. I started to hypervent and shiver too. I felt so useless and stupid that day. I spent a lot of time thinking what to tell and ask him, but i ended up like this.

Don't worry Kittycat97. They are trained professionals. This just another one
of life's speed bumps. You are brave just telling us at Psych central.Good luck.

Sincerely,

My doctor is fed up for me using a book to cover myself.
