Foot Anxiety

I have a doctor’s appointment today with a new doctor to get my foot checked out. Most people would not find this a scary or stressful thing. I don’t mean the prospect of what a doctor might say, but I mean the act of going to a new doctor. You see, I have anxiety of new and unfamiliar things. Whenever I find myself in an environment where I don’t know what to expect, and therefore can’t prepare for it, I start panicking…long before I’m even in the situation. For instance, I’ve been up since 3:45 am, not because I’m not tired, but because my mind started thinking about having to go to a new doctor today. Truth be told, I was already starting my anxiety attack yesterday.
