Hi Guys
Not been here for a long long time kind of resigned myself to living with my anxiety for ever more,this weekend has been quite horrible
Bit of background I have IBS have had this since my mum died 5 and a half years ago I think I have health anxiety but I am different in that I am petrified of going doctors or having any kind of tests
The reason I believe this has reared his head again is because I am now 41 years old I went to see the nurse the other week who I know can't refer me for tests to have my left ear syringed she said that now I am over 40 I am eligible for a free NHS health test which involves a blood test I am so so scared to have this done
I am scared they will find some that will require further tests and I am also very overdue my smear test that I am also too terrified to go and have done
I have told myself I am going doctors Tuesday after the bank holiday I plan on taking a urine sample and have him listen to my chest and take my blood pressure so I can mentally knock those 3 things off my list I want to be in a place where I can go docs like other people do like my husband and my sister and not worry like this it is on my mind 24/7 literally
Can anyone relate to this?
Thanks Guys :weep:
