Need to find new gyn, dreading it

Posted , 4 users are following.

I’m due for my annual checkup next month.  After a disastrous experience with the gyn I was seeing for the last two years, it’s time to find someone reliable.  On top of my overall anxiety and dealing with all the other messes in life right now, I dread doing this but know I must.  I want a good doctor to help me.  Still can’t decide about asking a doctor about anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medication, too.  Feeling overwhelmed today and dealing with some weird symptoms again.  I have plans today that I’ve looked forward to all week and here I am crying again.  So tired of this.  So sick of not being able to be a reliable person anymore.  ☹️

      Hi Mars... no, not on HRT.  Not sure if that’s an option for me.

      Why are you not sure if it's an option Liz? Just wondering as HRT does help with anxiety.

    You so need to find a dr who will help you and your symptoms especially the anxiety which is compounding the rest of your problems which in turn is making you feel alot worse. Good luck hun, will be thinking of you. XXX

    my nurse practitioner at the ob/gyn office was a disaster.  Looking for some one new too.  She is an idiot who does not give a hoot.

    Hi Liz, just know it's not that YOU aren't reliable, it's that your physical being is not reliable just now. There is a big difference!!Nobody chooses to feel like physical and emotional hell to avoid doing things they used to enjoy.

    My personal experience is, a mild anti depressant has done wonders for my ability to cope with feeling like hell physically. Instead of getting down and staying there, I get down, but can take a rest then work toward feeling better in some way.

    Thinking of you, and good luck with your new Dr!!
