Hate waiting rooms

Hi Robert I do not feel it as strong as you but yes I do stress,Just going to our local chip shop is enough,usually I go quite late as no queues but last friday there were two men and as I stood waiting my heart rate got faster and louder! I calmed as they left.

Apparently most don't even notice my anxiety so it must be mild for me,but it still effects me and the more people the worse it gets, I cannot even consider going into a pub!

I also rush to get to my appointments and once there 45min waiting is nothing unusual,sometimes they have a stacking system,your name gets called to wait outside Dr ????'s room,three seats outside each room.

I hope the blood test wasn't to stressful? I passed out after one blood test,it wasn't feinting? It doesn't bother the whole sight of blood thing.

but just when all was completed ready to go and wallop I was no longer conscious? Had six staff around me when I came to.full alert response team,ended up in ambulance sirens and lites straight to hospital. Nothing found to be wrong?? Strange that,asked the nurse who took the blood and she said it definitely wasn't a feint as she deals with them often.I could not be roused at all. Zero response.

Worst part of that for me was being pushed on a stretcher through the crowded waiting room.

And ambulances are so uncomfortable,bumpy ride hurt my bad back.felt like it had solid wheels?

take care and be proud you coped in your own way and that tomorrow is another day.
