Hi

Just make sure you are honest with your doctor...it's always good to write down all your symptoms and feelings...he may do a questionnaire with you to check for depression and will add everything up....

If he gives you meds, give them a go....

Hope it goes good for you xx

Hi,

Feeling pain all over is a symptom of anxiety. I went to the doctors today after putting it off for a very long time. I was sure I walking into a death sentence so I understand how you feel.

I can't tell you how much better I feel. I know what it is like to feel these things and think the worst but Im sure th doctor will put your mind at rest x

Well done! Try hard to remember all you wanted to tell x

Also agree with the others....write it down so you don't forget anything as you want to come out of there feeling like a weight has been lifted, not concentrating all your worries to that one little thing you forgot to mention :)

I, too, am a big believer in writing stuff down so that I remember what to tell the doctor. It is easy for nerves to take over and for concerns to be forgotten. My list also gives me something to focus on, and to hold on to, if my anxiety gets the better of me. There's even been times when I just handed the paper over to the doctor, when I felt too uptight (or weepy) to speak.

And good for you for making the appointment! I understand your fear, but I think you are doing a wonderful thing for yourself by seeing a doctor.

Good luck!
