Does going to the doctor for a checkup make anyone else anxious af? I know doctors are here to help, but going always makes me feel like nothing good will come of it. They’ve scared me since I was a kid.

I love going to the doctor! maybe it's bc I had a weird medical condition as a kid and had to go through some very horrible doctor appointments. so now normal ones just feel so nice and easy but that said checkups are very standard, usually the only way for something to go off script is if you bring up an issue you want addressed. they get your weight, blood pressure, and check you with a stethoscope. they ask about sleep, eating patterns, and that's about it!

Yep, this is literally me!! Being a hypochondriac AND afraid of the doctor is the worst combo ever. I’m too grown to be this much of a scaredy cat. 😭

It’s literally the worst and I’m too grown so I can’t have my mom there to answer the questions my doctor asks so that’s a double whammy fr
