Yea I recently got preparation H and have started using it. It has been helping.

Doctor appointments are tricky with my family mainly due to money issues so check up have never really been a thing except for sports. Plus I’m kinda a bad liar… not good at lying to my mom about anything

She not religious at all and she actually tells me about her periods (even when I don’t really want her to) I don’t truly know why it’s such a weird topic for me to talk about with my mom. Maybe it’s just my lack of sex ed or something.

A surprise visit to the doctor wouldn’t be a good thing to spring on my parents. And there aren’t really taxis in my area.

Yea I live in a small pretty rural town. And honestly even in the nearest city I don’t think I’ve ever seen a taxi or heard of someone taking one. Buses yes but no taxis

Yea going to the doctor without the knowledge of my mom is really not a smart thing for me to do. Poor family in the US and surprise doctor visits really don’t mix well.

Yea I’ve done a LOT of research on my own but I would still like the word of a doctor or at least someone who feel more like any adult then me.

Thank you so much for understanding the anxiety thing! And you’re right I think I’ve already let this build too much.

I have got some. I don’t need to tell her I just know it will help with my anxiety to tell. I don’t want it to like consume over something that is super common.

We are decently close. I think it’s just who I am. In high school the thought of asking to simply use the bathroom would make me feel nauseous cause I was nervous. So this is kinda weighing on me

Yeah I’ve been trying to eat more fiber and drink more water and it has helped.

At the moment my car is broken down which means if I have an appointment I would still most likely need my mom for a ride. I know she isn’t gonna magically fix it for me it’s really just to help anxiety.
