By the time I get there all the anxiety I feel has melted away because the exercise has taken the edge off. Give me 10 minutes in the waiting room and my heart has slowed back down to resting rate.
For me, just being at the Dr. Office causes it. Medical, dental, hospitals, all give me terrible anxiety. It stems from an operation I had as an infant. It's just engrained into my brain that these places are bad. Its irrational, but the second I leave the facility the anxiety goes away.
