Phobia

2

The CDC reports that TeaPartyPhobia is on the rise. Symptoms include: outright denial, whining, enuresis, and tantrum throwing.

It seems most prevalent among Democrats, though GOP members are also effected. Reports of TPP appear to be most concentrated in Delaware and New York. Politicians have been seen wetting their pants and pulling out their hair as the results from state primaries were revealed last night and this morning.

Will Obamacare cover their treatment?

Basically, I’m in a specialized program for gambling addiction. It was really hard to get admitted into it, because there are stringent requirements. It is also in a beautiful part of the mountains. It also has a lot of hidden perks, like counseling and all around general help in daily living.

Here is the problem: I’m kind of scared to start treatment, because it will run its course, the people might not like me, and it may eventually come to an end (discharge). The weird thing is, I’m feeling much better being IN the program, even though I haven’t even started treatment yet! I just feel so secure knowing it is there if I need it. I have felt 50% happier just knowing I’m in the program, even though I haven’t actually begun anything yet.

If I start treatment, I’m afraid I’ll get worried about what the counselors think (I have social phobia), the treatment will run its course and someday come to an end.

How do I explain to my doctor that I’m actually feeling better being IN the program, even though I haven’t even started treatment? I’m so happy I got admitted, but I want to delay the start date indefinitely, because I don’t want it to run its course, leading to discharge from the program. (If the treatment ended, I would have nothing…I’m pretty much on my own in a new city)

If the above was too verbose to understand, just answer this. How do you explain to a doctor that you are feeling better just being in a program, knowing you can start any time, and you want to delay the start date indefinitely?

(The hitch is that everyone that is admitted into the program is naturally expected to start treatment right away….Would they think it was crazy that I wanted to be "in" the program but want to delay treatment?)
i posted this q (similar) in psychology before seeing your post…thx for the feedback

I’m extremely emetophobic (fear of vomit) and now that I have two small children and it’s stomach virus season, I have been stressing out majorly. I’ve heard that emetophobics don’t respond well to the typical treatments like being around it more. What kind of medicine should I ask my doctor for?
