I'm so desperately unhappy and I don't know what to do anymore. I have a deep fear of doctors and medical people. i havent been to see a doctor for about 12 years now. I have panic attacks and have been depressed for quite a while.. I had a very bad childhood, which resulted in my phobia. I'm all alone and I'm finding it very hard to cope. I don't think I can be helped because I can't go and see anyone... the thought makes me feel ill... I don't know what I'm going to do..

Hi Kate,

Wow, its a very difficult spot that you are in. I thought long and hard and the only thing i can come up with is that seeing as though you cant go and see a Doctor, can you contact them by phone and start off treatement that way? If not, can we arrange for you to email a Doctor?

What do you think???

Hi, the thought of that makes me terrified. The word 'doctor' makes me feel sick. I did try and phone a few weeks ago but I had a big panic attack..

Well that makes it hard. I wonder if we need to ask a close and trusted family member or friend to call them for you and briefly discuss the issue and ask for suggestions on how to get you in there.

No-one knows about me or my past. I have no family and very few people in my life. I'm sorry I'm so negative all the time
