I know that most people won't care about this, but I just felt the need to talk about it. To someone... anyone... as the thought of it truly terrifies me.

I have a major fear of doctors and medical tests, so much so that I haven't been to a GP or for a check-up/bloodtests in like, 12-14 years. I've never even had a physical. I don't know what caused this fear. I can't remember ever having a bad experience with a doctor, I'm not afraid of needles but I'm terrified about test results. I know that I'm going to have to see a doctor at some point soon, and I have no idea what to do to combat this anxiety. Does anyone have any idea how I can overcome this? I just want to be normal. This anxiety is keeping me from taking care of myself.
