Doctor's appt - strong CSA trigger - need help.

Posted by madeline on April 21, 2006, at 17:44:05

I really could use some help here.
I had a gynecology appointment on Wednesday, and while I've never been a pro at these appointments, this one bothered me more than any one I have ever been too. The exam was routine, nothing out of the ordinary, but I sat in the car after it was over and shook for two minutes. I cried the rest of the day at work.
I felt ashamed and very embarrassed. I'm still not over it, and could have a panic attack at any second. It's triggered some very deep feelings of shame and guilt.
Do you guys have any advice on how to handle things like pelvic exams, because the way I feel now, I'm NEVER going back. I'm NEVER going to have kids because of the exams. I'm NEVER going to allow that to happen again.
I don't want to go through it again.
