I will be wearing clothes over my diaper. I have an appointment on Friday morning. The therapist is a social worker and a woman. I wanted a woman because I feel I can talk to her easier than with a man

Incontinence is a very stressful condition. Our society doesn't make it easy. We all can bear witness to this.
I hope you [alwayz, srmousse] find some methods/tools to help in coping and lowering stress levels. In a large way, interacting with this board provides a cathartic release.
Peace.

A hallmark of stress disorders is the anxiety attack. Sometimes they are barely noticeable and other times they feel like you are just about to die (have a heart attack). Panic attacks produce all the symptoms of heart attacks and, to be honest, they are scary as hell.
I can say that for anxiety, seeing a therapist is actually a really good thing. At first I was skeptical about if they would actually hear what I was saying or if they would just make up some narrative that I didn't actually feel. However, after finding someone to talk to I realized that what was going on wasn't some elaborate ploy to tell me what I felt--it was a non prejudiced ear to listen to what I had to say.
I do highly recommend searching for someone to talk to because it can really make a difference that you never would have thought.

Hi srmousse,
I just wonder how they fond out that you dealing with severe anxiety. I think often there are at last two possibilities: Ether the result is serious - but in this case you normaly know about the anxiety - what not seems to be in your case. Or they did't found anything concrete and just say it's an anxiety or a stress problem to come up with a diagnose or a reason.
In the first case e.g. a behavioural therapist often can help - as long you can brake it down to concrete situation. If a traumatic situation is the root cause also a therapist can help but this takes much more time and you need someone who ist specialist in this kind of things. More over you need to know that a traumatic situation is the root cause what might be a problem, because our brain is pretty clever in finding excuses.
How ever - if you don't understand how the doctor came to his conclusion your scepticism is more then justified. My experience is:
1) Don't believe anything that doctors just say and can't explain. An if they can explain, check it out by yourself and see if you came to the same conclusion.
2) Don't trust drugs the give you if they cannot explain how they work, why you should take them and what side effects they have.
Having a heart attack can have a lot of reason. If someone would came up after such a serious medical condition with something like anxieties and I did't see a connection I would definitly go for a second opinion.
