    i’m sorry you are going through all of this. What is it about doctors, dentist, and hospitals that has you so frightened?

    is there anyone that can go with you to visit a family doctor?

    you may not even have to go to a hospital. This might be some thing that only requires a visit to a doctors office, But if you have someone with you it would be a lot easier for you.

    don’t give up on yourself. sometimes our thoughts go to the negative and then we scare ourselves. But those thoughts are not based on fact they are only based on emotion., Which is fear.

    Have you ever considered speaking with a counselor to help you manage your fears? Many communities have free or low-cost counseling. many churches have counseling.

    I do hope you get some support! Your life has value! take care.

    Oh Debbie, I understand totally how you feel about Drs. I am the same. I too have been having symptoms that warrant a visit to the Dr, but I have such a severe health anxiety that I just do not feel able to even phone for an appointment. I was never like this, my health anxiety always use to make me feel that I needed to see the Dr all the time. Over the years I've had numerous blood tests, x-rays, scans, ECGs, consultations with cardiologists, dermatologists. Then 2 years ago one of my blood tests came back abnormal, not worryingly so, but it threw my health anxiety down a whole different path and now I can barely walk into a pharmacy let alone a GP surgery. I guess what I'm trying to say is that neither of these are ideal and getting a handle on the anxiety is key to trying to cope with everything else. I think considering you are having some really unpleasant symptoms, its important that you see a Dr. I know it will be hard for you but you deserve to be well and please don't say that you don't care if you die. That is just so very sad, but there are people out there who can and will help you through this so please don't give up on yourself. A lot of us on this forum have hit absolutely rock bottom, but there is always help and always an answer. Please get some help, you deserve to feel better. x
