Re: Hospitals and doctors' offices
Do you have anyone who go with you?
i know taking someone with you is a safety behaviour but if it will increase your chance of going to something important then i would take somebody, my OH usually falls victim to taking me to the hospital as i'm terrified of doctors and all things hospitals. in fact they're seeing if they can take the 3rd of march off work to take me to my barium swallow as if its up to me i wouldn't go (oops)
it is a tricky one and i think we never truly get used to appointments in the sense of we still worry just before it's natural, but if you start off small and take some steps towards improving it it will get better,
unfortunately avoidance is on the huge no no list and i had to learn that the hard way lol x
All the best
