Medical phobia is going to ruin my life

Something happened to me involving doctors when I was little that I never told anyone about. Not getting into the story here. I didn’t even tell my therapist when I had one, because I thought maybe it wasn’t that bad.

I was wrong. I’m in my late teens, and I have not been near a doctor’s office, dentist‘s office, or a hospital in years.

And I know it’s gotten worse because I used to be fine with the dentist until something happened there that triggered what I’m assuming was a flashback to that original event.

It’s preventing me from getting ID, finding a job, or going into the career I wanted because I literally can’t handle the simplest of testing without breaking down.
