Hate Going To The Doctor

Anyone else? I have always had this issue, for physical as well as mental health, for my children as well as my own issues (which makes me feel like a bad mother - the two times I have brought my children to the doctor it was at my mother's insistence/ she strongly urged me to go and came with me, the children were really quite ill).
My doctor is perfectly nice and I don't have any other choice of doctor where I live anyway.
I don't know what it is! I think I'm paranoid that they think I'm imagining things/ am hypochondriac/ think less of me/ am exaggerating/am a whiner. I often think about what my notes might say or how busy they must be. I also don't trust myself to know when I need help.
Now with Corona they aren't open so you ring instead. In ways this is great as sitting in the surgery is terrible for me. But now I am sitting waiting for them to phone me back and I'm a nervous wreck (one of the things I'm ringing about is generalised anxiety).
Does anyone else have this fear?

Just to add, NONE of it is about them finding something seriously wrong with me. It's almost the opposite, that I'm wasting their time. I just hate it. I rehearse what I want to say and think carefully about how much or little detail to go in to.........I couldn't sleep last night because I knew today I was going to ring them.
