Is it normal that hospitals and doctor's offices calm me down?

79% Normal

Normally I am a very anxious person,with a constant stream of thoughts running through my head. When I am in a hospital, or in a doctors office,the stream of thoughts cease, and I feel relaxed. I have heard that the opposite is true for most people, which is why they expect your blood pressure or heart rate to be a little higher than normal when you visit the doctor. The opposite is true for me...

    I wish I could be like that because I hate hospitals and doctor's offices.

    I guess it's unusual but normal. What is it about the doctor's office that calms you down? I'm nervous about going to the gyno this month because I have to have a pap test :/ I need relaxation tips.

      I'm not sure why it calms me down. I have several theories though. It could be that being around so many sick and dying people makes my own anxiety and depression seem trivial.

    That is funny this is the one place I am about ready to have a heart attack. This is the opposite of normal. Doctors are scary!

    I don't know anybody who feels like you, I'm the opposite, doctors leave me anxious. But I'm a bit hypochondriac, so maybe I'm not the best one to judge.

      I'm also a major hypochondriac.

    You are not very subtle when it comes to your racism.

        Never. And that's really racist of you, I might add.
