Anyone experience this? I found some information on it online but unfortunately there isn't much. Essentially when I was young I had a lot of experiences with doctors that were painful and frightening. One of my effects of being born premature was having an increased sensitivity to pain. My parents chose not to tell the doctors and instead played it off as though I were just being difficult. Among all the helplessness and fear, I felt very alone because my mother was there and she did not comfort me. She just kept telling the doctors to keep going despite my only wanting a few moments to calm myself down in between procedures. My parents would then be upset with me about my behavior.

I still have a lot of trouble going to doctors and hospitals. About a month ago I had an experience that really reminded me of my past experiences. I have not been able to get past it this whole month and am having a very difficult time.
