This is a hard post for me to make, but I have a bit of a problem that I should probably go see someone about but I am really embarrassed about going to the doctor. I know they have encountered it all before but its more of a mental problem than a physical one and I dunno, I sort of feel like I should be able to get through it by myself. Plus I can't shake the feeling that I may be wasting their time and they'll laugh at me for being an idiot.

How do I get over this and finally go?
 
Yeah but thats the problem, I find it really easy to ramble on the internet about my problems but as soon as someone in the real world talks to me I feel like an idiot. I think its the shield of anonymity.

Ring the doctor and make an appointment. I cant stand to let people down, so once i have an appointment i have to make it.. I recently overcame this myself as for years ive had bad skin, so finally went to the doctors after trying every commercial product under the sun.. which is also why i kept putting it off thinking, they will just say i need to buy this or whatever..
 
Just go.

The majority of doctors are very nice people, and will never make you feel stupid or uncomfortable. There was a time when I had some pain 'downstairs' and I was a bit reluctant to get it checked out, but I always think it's best to air on the side of caution and get things checked out as soon as you can.

Needless to say, I think after being "checked out", I think I'm fully desensitized to anything doctor related now.
 
Yeah you should just make an appointment and go, its not as bad as you may think, and once you've done it once you'll be able to do it whenever you need to again. I've had so many doctors fiddling with my balls I dont think anything of it when I'm at the doctors. As soon as you go, get it over with, you'll wonder why you were ever worried in the first place.

Why does everyone assume its my balls!? :p

Its a little more serious than that.
 
You're admitting you think it's serious so surely that should be enough of a kick to get you going to the doctor.

Try not to think too much about it, they'll be easier to talk to than you think and once you've spoken to them they'll do the best they can for you. It'll be worth it when you're feeling better within yourself and you'll wonder what all the fuss was about.
 
heh I wasnt assuming it was your balls, I was saying Ive had problems with mine, and altho slightly embarrasing before going it was fine when I was in and after I left.
 
Most doctors will put you at ease. Don't worry if there's a stigma attached to your ailment, your doctor will know about this and should put you at ease.

I know somethings wrong but having a medical profession tell me would just make it seem so real, and then somehow thats worse...

A lot of the time things have to get worse before they can get better and it's only worse in your mind, not reality.
