So I have a pre-employment medical coming up in a couple of days, and I have to say I feel awful about it. I’m one of the lucky people to have never really needed anything medical done to me, so even just a check-up gives me anxiety. 

I have issues with people taking things of mine like blood/urine etc., and with people touching me or doing things to me that make me uncomfortable. I’m well aware that it’s an irrational fear but it’s so annoying to deal with.

Does anyone have any insight on how to stay calm during something medical like this? I’m just not sure how I’ll go and I don’t really want to ruin my chances of getting this job.

I’ve been told they don’t do anything too extreme but it’s just the thought of it and having to wait that kills me more than actually going through it.
