Your words are encouraging. Luckily I'm busy this weekend and haven't had a lot of time to think about it! haha
The drive to the dr. office was going to be one of my exposure exercises, but I think I'll be already nervous, so I think I'll move my exposure exercise to the next day (not as stressful, but the same drive!)
You took a positive step in going to get a full physical, be proud of yourself for making that decision. There could be a variety of reasons they are calling you back in. Although it may be difficult, try not to worry (or ponder ) too much about it. You will have to wait and see why they are calling you back when you return and go from there. As you said, use this as a wake-up call for you to be pro-active about your health.
Stay positive and check in to let us know how it goes. We are here for you!
I finally went in for my first full physical ever (and I'm in my late 30s).
I got my blood screening done and guess what? They have called me back in.
At first I was worried (not panicky, just thinking, "oh oh...what's up?") We have Type 2 diabetes in the family and I admit my lifestyle is not the healthiest.
Anyway, after pondering for a bit (we ARE good at pondering, aren't we? LOL), I figure that whatever the results are showing, it's a wake-up call to improve my health. Maybe that will even contribute to being able to handle the anxiety even more! Maybe it's something going on with my body that will trigger anxious feelings.
