Scared to take a blood text
I know it sounds crazy but I am absolutely petrified about taking a blood test in a few days. I have been worried about this since I started drinking heavily. I have been drinking for about 6 years. I'm just so fed up.

I know exactly what you mean. I was scared to look at the results of mine. But I forced myself. I was OK for the liver tests. I had been drinking heavy for years. I was scared, but it is something everybody must face. I hope things go well for you. Even if your results are off, it is never too late to quit.

Hi Foodyfox,
I understand how you feel. My situation was a little different in that I needed to take a blood test after finding our my ex was an IV heroin user/was hanging around with prostitutes. I was so paranoid, I put it off for months, which in turn made me even more anxious (and mad at myself,) but I'm so glad I finally did it. I had no issues on my report and was relieved to have it done with!
Either way, it is better to know than to not. You have a lot of support here, keep coming back.

I was terrified of going to the doctor for years as well, until I finally said enough and did it, and it became one of my best decisions. I have a good relationship with her now and actually look forward to my checkups instead of complete fear. It's always been to know if something may be wrong in the beginning stages to fix a minor problem, rather than putting it off before things possibly might be too late.

Good luck.
I'm due for one and haven't gotten it yet due to the same fear. I've been sober for 19 months, so I shouldn't feel this way. I've had one before that turned out "fine" ( those were the doctor's words), amazingly enough.
