But of course, that is not brilliant. I think it becomes harder to step into the doctors office when we have friends who are going through difficult illnesses. We wonder sometimes if we even want to know that we too might be faced with the same. At least, that is how it has been for me. Maybe also for you. But you know, we have to take care of ourselves for those who love us, and whom we love. I need to follow your example and go find a doctor.

At least for me. And I already have pain/illness so that's probably silly, but I hate it and I fear more of the same or a worsening of what is. I hate doctors and tests, too. Had enough for many lifetimes. Put them off when I can. Hoping my bloodwork doesn't lead to more tests. And so it goes... all this to say that I completely understand and sympathize and I'm glad you had an ativan and you are in no way foolish or immature, just human.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221703763145912238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-69799413243015817632010-11-18T09:11:42.232-05:002010-11-18T09:11:42.232-05:00You are anything BUT foolish.

Be gentle with yourself, dear Ms. Moon. <br /><br />Perfection isn't what we as humans are capable of--I was relieved to discover that. I kept trying for years to be perfect and it just doesn't work. I am glad that I no longer beat myself up too badly. <br /><br />Hope that today is good and anxiety free.

I just read Stephen Fry's second autobiography, and that's how he describes being tired at one point: being ready for bath, bed and book. I loved that.<br /><br />Good luck at the doctor's! I hope it's as good as my dentist's appointment was.

I think that's pretty much the story of me and my life, not just the doctor. <br /><br />Mary - I dunno - most of us are like this, I suppose, except the responsible ones. <br /><br />I suspect this is something you have to get over. Just ... do it. You know? Make the appointment, don't leave yourself too much freaking out time, just do it.<br /><br />The fac that you halved your dose because you were scared to go get your prescription renewed is quite alarming alright. Some hypnotherapy maybe? Do something to addres the fear! <br /><br /><br /><br />Jo - so good at giving advice she doesn't take herself*Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-43359148831794242562010-11-18T00:24:58.907-05:002010-11-18T00:24:58.907-05:00I've been waiting to go to the doctor (the reg...I've been waiting to go to the doctor (the regular one, not the annual PAP/mammogram) until I lose weight.

Medical stuff feels like it's never over, never done. Like you said, there's the appointment, then the tests, then waiting on the results, then you get the bill, and by the time you pay it off it's time to go back again.

If I need that damn physical, my blood pressure shoots up, I sweat bullets, I tremble and my knees knock. I've actually teared up during the exam...I feel so violated. A can't believe how upset I get.
