Obsessed with knowing details? Anxiety alert!
Is anyone else here obsessed with knowing the details about everything? For example if I go to the doctor I need to know all the details of what they are doing and what they are using. example needle sizes when drawing blood. I think everything is going to hurt me… For some background I was in a terrible car accident a few years back and even after years of therapy I still have anxiety over medical procedures and now it has spilled over into all other aspects of my life where I need to know the details. Anxiety has been crippling this week I’m just looking for some support from people who have experienced this. Thank you so much

i can understand and i think there is a fine line with being informed and going overboard.... if a person was close or witnessed some bad medical care a person is much more detailed and wanting to see exactly what is going on IMO it seems insane that so many people give unconditional trust in medical care and then seem perplexed by mistakes/ misdiagnosis etc....
I worked for years in credentialing of medical personnel and frankly am much more detail interested then i was before..... do not be so hard on yourself.
