Is it normal to feel bad about going to the doctor's?

Even if I'm sick or know I need a stronger prescription, etc., I feel bad just making an appointment. I feel as if I'm wasting their time, or that they'll see me as just some stupid hypochondriac. Is it normal to feel this way?

  • If the doctor asks you to take your clothes off when you are complaining about a headache it is not normal. Neither is sucking him off.

  • yeah, i feel that way too sometimes, but at the end of the day, that what doctors are there for right? and you're better off safe than sorry. Best of luck.

  • Same. but I have a nice doctor, so that helps. I still feel like a waste of time when other people have worse problems and i go in for something stupid like anxiety, that normal people are able to control.. anyway, I'm sure the doctors don't actually mind, cause they studied all that. You're just another example for them- as long as they aren't the type who have gotten tired of their job..
