Doctor today

I went to the doctor's office today for a regular check up, but I was scared out of my mind. I have bad anxiety issues and was terrified of God knows what might happen or that may usual routine was disturbed. I don't like having to do something too much out of norm. I was terrified of something going wrong or that it would take too long. Because of my fears and nasty anxiety problems, I can't even work anymore. Also, I can't work because of my schizoaffective disorder. I tend to have unrealistic fears all the time and it gets to be a bit much to say the least. Everything turned out fine, but I was still scared and am now home.

I have irrational fears, too. I had to quit my job, which I loved, because I was too scared to go to work. Why? No idea. Now I can’t get out of bed unless I absolutely must. Here’s the thing. I love to exercise, and feel amazing when I do, but again, simply won’t. I have everything to live for, but am crushing the life out of myself. No counselors want to help, either.

That sucks. I have a counselor and a psychiatrist fortunately. Good luck. I hope things get better for you soon FrankP183
