Hi everyone, so I'm new here so not fully sure where to start but some help would be great !
Bit of background-
I've been struggling with health anxiety for about 5 years and never seeked any professional help. I never fully realised that was what I was suffering from until I looked it up a year ago or so and noticed that everything that was a symptom of health anxiety as basically my day to day life! I go through phases of being fine until I get a symptom and im back to anxiety mode. To be honest though even though I say that I think it's definitely on my mind 24/7 and there's rarely a day I don't think about it just s one days I can shake it off better than others.
Anyway I plucked up the courage tonight after panicking about another health issue to go see the go tomorrow and now im panicing. What do I say? What do I do? What if he thinks all my symptoms are just anxiety based writes it on my notes abd no one ever takes any symptoms I have seriously again? What if he judges me ? What if I cry? Will he just give me pills? Where do I start?
Any light on peoples first time experience
S would be great please.
Thank you
