Re: social(?) anxiety

(Anonymous) 2013-05-31 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Social anxiety refers to social situations in general- if it's just one specific type of situation that gives you panic attacks, you want a more specific term- in this case 'iatrophobia' or 'medical phobia'

Seconding what everyone else is saying about the optometrist being unlikely to scold you- addressing the current issues will probably be more of a priority than how you got to that point, which may indeed not be your fault after all.

If you don't mind me asking, is that your only worry in this, or do you have issues with doctors in general? I have a full-blown phobia of doctors in general and general practitioners in particular and I've had to develop some anxiety-reducing strategies, but I don't want to type up a bunch of tl;dr if they wouldn't be of use.

Different anon but I have a pretty severe doctor phobia and I wouldn't mind hearing the strategies if you have the time.

Sorry for not having a response for you yet anon, but it's late and I'm tired. I'll try to get something posted for you in the morning.
