Went for my annual OB/GYN well woman visit yesterday. For some reason, I am never afraid to go have this done, I'm scared to death of all other doctor appointments, and doctors. This doctor delivered both my kids and is the most gentle human being on the planet. I wish all people could have this doctor as their doctor.
The minute the poor man walked in the room and asked me how I was doing I started weeping. I was so embarrassed but I just couldn't stop. Everything I've been worried about (dying too young, leaving my boys behind, etc., etc. etc.) just came spilling out. He was so kind, he just put his clipboard down and hugged me. Then he told me that he wanted me to know that he has known me for 16 years and that I am not only his patient but his friend. And that together we would get to the bottom of my anxiety. Can't tell you the relief I felt right then and there. He gave me a prescription for Xanax XR, and then told me he was going to do some reviewing over the weekend to find me a good counselor that could help me with this problem. He's going to call me with some names and after 2 weeks I am to get back to him to tell him how I am doing.
Thank God for good doctors. I feel a tiny bit of relief today. Its a baby step, but at least its a step forward.
