to confront all those things I'd rather not.
Its bad enough to live thru anxiety, is another thing to have to recount it.

So it wasn't bad at all. I described how I'm handling the current increase in my health anxiety and why I think there is an increase.
He said I was correct and I was handling the whole thing properly. He did tell me to not see going to the dr as a failure and to go if my anxiety begins to interfere with my daily life.
Sounds pretty common sense to me.
So I left feeling pretty good. Then I talked to my wife who I love dearly but is one of those calm people who really can't understand anxiety like what I work to keep under control. Let's just say she was less upbeat than the shrink.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Ah well, the course of true love does not always run smooth.
Hey
Glad it went OK. That does sound pretty much like common sense.
My husband is ultra chilled and laid back. He cannot grasp when I tell him I think I have a blood clot, am having a heart attack, or am about to drop dead. Tells me to chill out.
I am at the doctors every 5 minutes, and he never goes!!

My wife is EXACTLY the same way.
Mammogram - I sweat blood, she forgets to call about the results.
Thyroid nodule - I look it up on the 'net, she makes the appointment and goes and forgets about it till the dr calls.
Pap smear - I hold my breath and she doesn't.
aaaaaaaauuuuuuuuugggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!
I know its like trying to explain the color red to a blind person. But for some reason, I keep getting surprised by her reactions.
Ah well - it all adds to the spice of life.
