White Coat Anxiety

I’m currently sitting in the wait area at a new medical office I’ve never been to before and I am trying to talk myself out of feeling like I’m being chased by a pack of hangry lionesses.


I am aware they are going to tell me to lose weight and eat right and be more active but I’m just exhausted of being told that my whole life without anybody trying to actually help me. 😑

@yellowPineapple3652 Thank you for opening up with us yellow. I get it you are feeling frustrated about being given the same advice over and over again without receiving support. It is understandable to feel exhausted from this experience. What thoughts come up for you when you hear people telling you to "just lose weight" without offering additional guidance?
