I always worry the doctor is going to judge me for being a hypochondriac. How long do you wait for something to resolve naturally before making an appointment?

I'm a dude also and generally, my arm would need to be hanging by a thread for me to proactively go to the doctor for something. That being said, dudes are pretty stupid about this. If something feels off for more than a few days, get it checked out. My good advice, but I won't follow it.

Come on dudes! You got to take care of your bodies. Why just focus on working out if internal organs are going to shit. Do yearly check ups. And as D1 said, go see doc if something doesn't feel right.

A week. Bc we travel so much and we're locked in rooms w colleagues and clients, I don't like to mess around.

Annual exam is different than going to the doctor. They make me do that shit. Otherwise the last time I went was when I literally cut my finger tip off with a table saw

Doctors actually like hypochondriacs. They can charge your insurance every time you think something is wrong. I'm sure they love you.

If something doesn't feel right, you go to the doctor. If you know it's something will go away, don't crowd the health care system

Update: went to the doctor (in pain 7 months). They told me I did the right thing but did they say that just to charge me???!?!

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before.

I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

Anyone feel frustrated at times with the super aggressive sales personalities we deal with? My AE is always pushing on every ask no matter how minuscule it is.

However what I personally feel is they just nag us until we do the job according to their spec. Just venting……anyone else feel the same?
