Hi, I've name changed (hoping it's worked!)
I've got a Drs appt in about 40 minutes about out what I feel are anxiety symptoms. I feel so stupid going and I'm scared I won't get it out when I'm there and instead do the whole Oh I'm fine!
I've been having a few panic attacks over the last few months but had one yesterday in front of my oldest ds (5) which scared him and prompted me to make the appt.
I think most of the anxiety revolves around been on job seekers. Early on I received a sanction when I missed an appt a the library for a cv check (I rang as soon as I remembered, asked if I could go later that day, rearranged and attended). The stress of those 4 weeks getting by on next to nothing scared me to death.
Now at least twice a day my heart misses a beat, I stand still and come out in an all over cold sweat and have the check my calendar numerous times to reassure myself I haven't missed an appt.
I have near enough constant runs. On a night I suffer cold like symptoms and it feels as though here's something stuck in my throat and I also have trouble sleeping, and staying asleep.
I'm constantly terrified of being 'controlled' by the jobcentre and do all the things specified, but I am also terrified of securing a job, the thought of being new, not knowing what I am doing etc, makes me shake with fear when I think about it.
There's lots of other little things that I won't bore you with, but will the Dr think I am pathetic? I've been to toilet 4 times in an hour through nerves about going to see him.
Has anyone been in this situation, how did it go?
Thank you.
