Question QUESTION: I am petrified to go to any doctor because any situation that forces me to undress or that leaves me vulnerable makes me feel like I am being raped all over again. Its to the point where I would much rather die or deal with whatever pain than have to be put under or go through a physical exam. I know I cannot avoid doctors for the rest of my life, so please help!!

QUESTION: I was raped at age 15 by an older male friend. I spent the next two years in complete denial until I ended up with extreme anxiety that kept me from leaving my house. This of course forced me to get help & acknowledge what happened. This alone makes invasive appointments extremely hard to handle, but it has recently became much worse since I have acknowledged the rape. My last appointment to see my gynecologist made all of my uneasy feelings much worse. I was treated horribly and at the end told that I had wasted the doctors time (I was in for a yearly exam, nothing more). Any kind of appointment that requires me to undress, especially an appointment with a gynecologist makes me feel like I am going through the rape all over again. It has come to the point where I would much rather risk cervical cancer & whatever else they claim to check than go through the appointment. I feel the exact same way about going under for surgery, ect. I know this is terrible and want to figure out some way to recover, but I eventually want to have children and know that some type of doctor is obviously for this. I'm terrbily sorry about my previous message, this whole topic sends me into a whirlwind of tears and anxiety. Please tell me that there is someway to get over this terrible fear.
Answer Dear Whitney,
There is hope for you.
Visit a physician/doctor who is specialized in Bach Flower remedies. This are harmless medicines and will heal your mind.
Mean while pray every day to God, do meditations on Scripture and regular exercises.
