hi ther been to the docors yet again this morning as i needed my CBT referral chasing up also wanted a dermatology referral as i seem to have developed dark patchy areas on my face(sun related i think) but cant help thinking the worst) the point being i have begun to feel daft keep asking for referrals here there and everywhere..does anyone else feel(or have been made to feel) stupid keeping going to the docs about things they dont class as anything to worry about...we are told to be aware in changes in our bodies e g checking for lumps n stuff but when us anxiety suffers go to the doctors to check something out we are made to feel daft...i came home feeling upset this morning as i cant see an end to all this...also this doctor kept referring to my"history" meaning obviously all the unneccessary things i have been referred to specialists for...do these doctors not realise without this reassurance we would end up going mad thinking the worst and are about to die!!!
I know constantly checking for things feeds our anxiety but what do we do if we genuinly do need something checking out...
i feel im now going to become slightly paranoid about going to the doctors now....for fear of looking stupid:(
