So effin nervous!!!

[Cassiopeia]

I have a doctors appointment coming up and I'm absolutely dreading it. My doctor and nurse are both not the nicest people. This may sound really strange, but they both make me extremely anxious. They don't seem to truly care about what I'm going through. What can I do to help myself relax before the appointment? Please help!

Can you switch doctors?

I have to keep seeing him until I find someone else. What can I do in the meantime? I have to go to this appointment coming up soon.

Relax, let them do their job and just think you'll be getting another doctor soon.

I also get anxious before a doctor appointment but not as much anymore. Let the anxiety pass through your body and the anxiety will stop. While your letting the anxiety pass through, do not add "what if" or "oh my god" thoughts. Adding such thoughts will add anxiety to anxiety.

Have you read Dr Claire Weekes book, Hope and Help For Your Nerves? It really helped me with decreasing anxiety. Also, chamomile tea will help you relax.
