Anxiety is majorly high today...I gotta see the lady doctor *gyno* and that in itself is a huge issue. I go in for my annual exam today. I've never been to this doctor for an exam. I hate being touched period let alone exposed. I'm extremely nervous. I've had a couple other bad issues from previous ones and I just don't wanna deal with this today.

I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing this. I saw you cancelled the appointment. That’s okay! Can you reschedule? Or maybe make two appointments, one to just talk about concerns, and a separate one for the exam. So even if you get nervous about the exam and have to cancel it, at least you were able to discuss concerns. I was terrified of the gyno for so long, but started having some reproductive health issues that made going unavoidable. I found that bringing a friend helped a lot! You can also tell them you have a lot of anxiety around the appointment and ask for a medication to take the night before and morning if to help ease it. Also make you you find a doctor who is big on consent, that was so important to me. If you want to talk about it at all message me!!

I'm sorry you're going through that. I can relate to how you feel. I'm working up the courage to go myself. Good job on actually going through with making the appointment. You are so brave
@ChowdersMama erm...I canceled...I didn't go...I couldn't do it.
