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 think this is possibly because we have a culture that doubts you and then blows you aside as if your not honest.

    i never liked going to gp as i knew id never get anywhere with them. i went one time with black swolen fingers that were looking close to exploding and was half bleeding which gave me the impression they was about to explode in gore with how swolen and bursting looking they was... went to gp and showed them that, they said "and what do you want me to do about it?" lol then sent me away having done nothing.
