Title: Do you get anxious when going for appointments?
Post by: Shortie on January 10, 2023, 08:58:28 PM
Everyone in their lifetime will have to go to many appointments whether it be the doctors, hospital, dentist, or maybe some other appointment you may have. It's normal for people to feel anxious when they have appointments like this but if you are someone who already suffers from anxiety before the appointments, it can seem a little overwhelming when the time comes for you to attend an appointment.

Do you ever get anxious when you are going for an appointment such as a doctor's appointment or even a dentist's appointment? What do you feel helps you to relax a little in this situation?

I myself tend to get more anxious when I have appointments like this, I worry that I will forget to mention something that I need to mention which then makes me even more anxious. I tend to write down anything I know I need to mention so that I do not forget and that can help minimize the anxiety.
