Medical Phobias and Access to Mental and Physical Health Care

Any one else out there struggling to deal with body or medical phobias?  Possibly provoking melt downs and making it difficult to receive treatment.

Are you able to get any help in coping?

Have you found any solutions?  What works?

  • That's a difficult one because I do have medical phobias and in the past I did try and seek help for them but help seems non existent so I still have them. I did call the doctor and he kept saying right right and told me exposure would help, but it didn't because I still have them but have been exposed to them lots of times and it's still a problem. If help for it does exist I have no idea where to find it.

  • Exposure was tried once for me.  Nop doesn't work, it was making it worse, I think because it's just piling more sensory overload on.

    I wish I just didn't need a body to live, lol.  I'd be just fine then.
