Doctors making me feel small

[SocialRetahd]

Whenever I go to the doctor for a problem, I get all pumped up about what I need to assess. Then, when I get in there, I become intimidated and can't tell them whats wrong, or acept their incompetitence.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have the same problem. I go over and over in my mind what I want to say and discuss, then when I get there in the doctor's office, my mind goes totally blank. This is usually after spending in interminable amount of time in the crowded waiting room, too. It makes me so mad every time, and I feel so frustrated and disgusted with myself. I have thought about maybe writing down the important things that need to be discussed, a kind of cheat-sheet, you know. At least then I wouldn't forget everything. Maybe that would work for you.
