I’ve been waiting a long time for an appointment with a consultant at the hospital and its today (i was really surprised they’re doing them on Saturdays but its brilliant that they are) It’s for a health problem I’ve had for almost all of covid but due to lockdowns and delays its taken a much longer time than usual. The gp said it’s beyond the scope of what they can help with so referred me
I suddenly feel so worried and nervous about going. I’ve been desperate for help as the health problem is really getting me down now, and I was so happy when I got the letter with the appointment because it means it will be getting fixed now!
I don’t know why I suddenly feel so scared but I do. I guess it’s just the pressure of it being such a long delay and then finally happening, I just want it over and done with so I can get my health back to normal! I’m not very experienced with hospitals (thankfully) and I’m just worried that the doctor I get doesn’t listen to me or doesn’t believe what I’m saying and I’ve waited so long and they won’t fix my health. I don’t know what to expect at the appointment and my mind is just filling in the blanks with the worst possibilities!
I’ve absolutely no reason to believe this will happen as it’s never happened to me before- but i have a bad habit of over thinking things and im probably doing the same now. Im just worried about it for some reason!
