Fear of Doctors amd Treatment


22 years ago 0 3 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I have been dealing with agorapohbia for over a year, I now have such an intense fear of dotctors and medical treatment I am unable to test that the doctors want to do to rule out possible causes for stomach pain I have had for close to to years, so far I have given excuses for not making the appointment for the procedure but now that I never leave my house, I am finding it is not just the test but more of a intense lack of trust of all doctors and what they do. I have even gone as far as having do not resuscitate orders put in my medical file. Everyone thinks I am crazy for feeling this way but I think doctors hurt more than they help. The bottome line is I am forced to go see a therapist but refuse to do take there medications, do there test. I just take the perscritions and smile, then change doctors when I get home through my insurance company. I want to get over my problems, I just dont want doctors helping me. Anyone else deal with these fears?
