Just wanted to add my congrats on making that doctors appt, definitely a hard thing to do, and I know a lot of people here have agonized over it for the same reasons you have. The one thing I wanted to tell you is what my doctor told me after I told him about my SI (well technically I pulled up my pant leg and asked him if it was going to scar, nice guy, he took it well) (anyway...) He said "All I want to do is make sure that you're safe." And that's why doctors are there, to help people be safe. That DOES NOT mean that they're going to call the men in white lab coats with straitjackets. It DOES mean that they'll help you get the care that you need, whatever type of care that might be, therapy, meds, whatever. As long as it is about YOUR wellbeing, and YOUR safety. So congrats again, and remember, they're there FOR YOU, not the other way around.
