I'm hyperventilating and so nervous about going to the doctors. Ay ideas how to calm down?
I have a checkup today at 10:15 or so and I know it's just a physical, nothing big but I've been up since 6:30, with an upset stomach, hyperventilating, heart racing, and I can't stop thinking about what could go wrong. I know it's stupid but the only doctor visits I remember are ones where I've been really sick. Please help, I'm so nervous.

When I have to do something unpleasant (dr's visit, job interview) I make sure I arrange for something I enjoy to happen afterwards. I basically promise myself a reward. Could be a double cheeseburger at Wendy's - anything.
Then I just focus on how I'm going to feel afterwards, when I'm enjoying my reward. I hang onto that to pull me through those next 30 or so minutes.Like (1)

believe me the person who can help calm you down IS the doctor. Just explain that you are really afraid and he'll help you get through it. Plus he/she is trustful
