Post GYN exam anxiety?

For some odd reason even with a clear check up I have felt so anxious since I had my yearly exam today. Anyone else have this problem? I have nto before so it seems odd.

I was not scared to go just for some reason after I just felt wrong, anxious and slightly depressed weird!

OMG I GET THE SAME WAY. WHEN I MAKE THE APPOINTMENT I AM A WRECK UNTIL I GO AND GET THE RESULTS. I HAVE HAD THE CANCER CELLS REMOVED AND HAVE BEEN OK. I HAVEN’T GONE IN 2 YEARS CAUSE NOW I HAVE HEART ISSUES ALSO. I AM SO SCARED TO GO. I KNOW I HAVE TO GO AND I AM STRESSING SO SO SO BAD.

I refuse to have one done to scared

When a Dr does an exam of that type , even though he/she did nothing wrong , it is possible to feel violated . Maybe that is what you are feeling ?

Yes I do feel that way and feeling that way is even more upsetting as I know I was not violated. I just have to get past that as I cannot really go through that every year for my exam ya know?

I know what you mean, I will keep you in my prayers.

I GET SCARED . EVEN BEFORE MINE CAME BACK YEARS AGO ABNORMAL AND WAS ALL TAKEN CARE OF. I WAS ALWAYS NERVOUS EVER SINCE I STARTED GOING AT 17. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD THE BEST DOCTERS BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER I GET SCARED. I HAVEN’T GONE LIKE I SAID IN 2 YEARS AND I KNOW I HAVE TO GO SO MY STOMACH IS CONSTANTLY IN KNOTS.
