doctor appointment tomorrow.. so scared

[Falkor]

hello,

im going to the doctor tomorrow for an appointment to talk about bdd.
because i want to have research soon, and i hope she will agree with me.
Because i really want this. To know what i have.
Im afraid she wont agree and that she think im just being worried, but bdd is the worry.. all the time
im really agoraphobic because of bdd.. i'd rather lock myself in the house the whole day.. ok i do get out of the house every day, but i wont go to college, or a job like a normal teenager, i feel so different.. i hate it
i feel worried about my life.. my future.. my presence.. my past..
i hate my life

im sorry , i feel really weird

Hm, I'm afraid of going to doctors too, so no help but know you are not the only one and I sympathize..

I'm even afraid to set the date for doctor's appointment for celiac... (I hope I don't have it anyway, part of me wants to know though..)

I don't know if they can 'test' you for having BDD..
Have you read any books for BDD yet?

I don't think you're agoraphobic from your BDD, it might be PTSD more likely from what I've read, it's good to talk to the doc though...
I was afraid to leave the house after PTSD... It helped to start martial arts.. (even though I didn't learn that much, it was still good)

It's good you go out of the house every day, you're better than me..
Not all teenagers go to college or have jobs, but it's good if you do, yeah..

So do tell how it goes tomorrow!!

Hi Flowergirlie, that's really brave, I know how it feels to goto a professional about my issues. I still get nervous after seeing them for so many years, it is easier describing depression and anxiety, less so to talk about my hang ups about my appearance.

If your doctor doesn't understand or give you the treatment that you think is necessary, then ask another doctor. My doctor failed to refer me to a psychotherapy place, so I've just booked an appointment with another. I've been told that I probably talk down my problems, so next time i'm going to make it sound worse so I get taken seriously.

hey there again ,

The doctor still didn't call my parents about it.. So i'm kinda pissed off because I really want to get research!

@Waybuloo: Talking with another doctor would be a good idea, because I don't feel really taken seriously with this woman. I also feel really ANXIOUS when I go to her, because how she reacts. I need an understanding doctor.
And it's very good to let it sound worse, yup. Because then they won't hesitate you giving help or anything else, they will take actions. And that's good.

@Brooklynn: How did it went? Did the psych prescribed you good meds?

@Feathers: I don't know much about PTSD, I will look it up, Wow that is very severe, and I can relate to that. Because I also have very severe anxiety. But I'm not sure if I got PTSD, but I do have experienced trauma, so Yeah i don't know.

thnx all for the reply
