Making appointments

Is anyone else very slow to make appointments, even when necessary? I still haven't had the courage to call my GP yet re possible diagnosis referral, I have a painful tooth but haven't called the dentist and took about 3 months to call the hairdresser, and even then, got my husband to do it. Is it partly imposter syndrome and partly commitment phobia? I try to pass it of as "well I take calls all day, so don't want to make calls myself" but is it that? possibly its all of them. I drive myself mad trying to work up courage to make a call, then put it off by justifying that they are probably busy.

  • I understand you, I am the same. Struggle with it all. Face to face is good if I can talk ok but if my anxiety gets too bad my throat swells though I have written things down just in case. Lucky you getting seen same day, here it's really hard to get a face to face appointment.
