Im a 25 year old Preschool teacher and while I don't have a lot of
fears I have a few that get in the way. I have a fear of doctors and
driving and some anxiety problems, I take NO meds. My fear of Dr's, Im
not sure how or why it happens. I am the type of person who will only
see a DR when Im sick. I've been at the same job for 3 years and they
have been going through files and realized I never had a "Physical
exam" when I started there, there's a staff health form that needs to
be filled out by your DR stating that your in good health. I only see
a DR when Im sick. Im in good health so I never need to go and I have
a strong fear of going. Well now my job tells me I HAVE to go and get
these papers signed by Nov. 14. I don't even have a "Dr". I have
health insurance but it's a very fixed plan and only allows for 6
vists a year and I needed those vists for a Dermatologist. Im so
angry, I have been there 3 years and now this comes up. Im even
thinking of quitting because Im so scared of going to a DR for a
simple check up. Im loosing sleep over this and it's causing me lots
of anxiety.I have had this fear since I was a child and as an adult it
has not went away in the least.Any advice on what to do? Thanks for
listening!
