Trauma and doctors visits
I have lots of medical conditions and overall I am a very unwell person which obviously means I am frequently going to the doctors/seeing professionals/ having procedures done. I have a lot of trauma from my childhood and I dont even go to the hair dresser because I am so uncomfortable about people touching me, it makes me have panic attacks and triggers me to have episodes(I have bipolar disorder). I have endometriosis and am currently going threw the motions of considering the next treatment option I have (kyleena iud), I have been on the pill for years and it does not go well with my other medications.
if I didn't have issues with being touched I think I would be confident about trying it but I really really don't want to and it is only making my decision harder as the stupid public health system only books me with male doctors and I have trauma/severe anxiety with men.
I panic anytime I think about it and idk what to do.
Does anyone else have issues like this? I just don't hear of many people having physical touch trauma relating to medical stuff...?
