text: how do you stop being afraid of going tothe doctor? please help appointment tomorrow? please tell me how to rid myself of the fear of going to the doctors? i am scheduled to go tomorrow the hospital to see two doctors that i have never met  before about an infection i have in my ears.i am so terrified and can't figure out why . i thought that i had this under control but feel even now so panicky  i cannot breathe. is there someway that will convicnce me its ok no matter what happens? please help if you can .any advice would help me,thanks the first answer is really good, but you might also want to figure out what it is that frightens you.  it's probably something you're making up (like, "it's brain cancer and i'm going to die!!!!") and if you recognize that's what's scaring you, you can remind yourself that that's really not what's going on, and is no reason to be scared.
