Doctor's Appointment Advice Please

[Closeout]

I have an appointment at 1:15 tomorrow with my regular doctor to discuss my anxiety. I'm hoping that she'll be able to recommend me to a good shrink and prescribe some helpful medication.

Does anyone have any advice for me? I'm completely nervous and frightened. I feel like sobbing everytime I think about it, but I know it's something that must be done.

Let the doctor see exacially how your feeling, if you feel like crying then cry.. he needs to see what anxiety does to you and how it makes you feel

good luck

Yes. Before you go, preferably right now, write down the things you need to tell her in a coherent and organized way. That way when you get there you won't have to worry about going blank or babbling nonsense which would make the whole ordeal a waste of time.

I agree with this.

It takes strength to make the decision to tell a doctor about your problems and you've already taken that step. Take confidence from that, and know that no matter how nervous you are, you can do this.

Good Luck! I'm going to my colleges counseling center soon, it's going to be my first time seeing anyone about it.
