I really dislike waiting rooms. I have been to a lot of appointments and the anxiety is still so bad. I drink too much water. I start nervous laughing. My heart starts beating really fast. Then I get called in and I feel so anxious still. Appointments stress me out really bad.

I cant sleep on the night before or after appointments. I have appointments a lot unfortunately. I feel like I'm always at the doctors office sometimes.

Do you have anything you can bring with you to absorb your attention?

Sometimes I bring my phone or a book.

That's what I'd do. I'd bring my phone because that's pretty socially acceptable.
