Hey! Today we’re diving straight into some of the weirdest, funniest, and downright wild things folks have spilled to their doctors. Ready? Let’s jump in!

I’d tell people I had a few drinks, but the doc got the real deal - 15 to 20 drinks a night! After years of heavy drinking, I got sober and now even the sight of alcohol makes me queasy. Winning!
Admitted I’d hurt myself the night before. The doc cleaned it silently and just carried on like a total pro. That calm really helped me through some dark times.
Swore I was losing it because I craved chewing ice and sniffing wet concrete nonstop. Doc did bloodwork, found I was seriously low on iron. Took some pills, and poof - cravings gone. Crazy how iron works!
In one week, I devoured way too much licorice and magically my blood pressure turned almost normal. Doc looked shocked and was like, “Uh, definitely NOT how we want to treat that!” Classic.
Confessed that my ex wouldn’t let me leave and even tried some extreme stuff to keep me around. Doc told me to just let it go - weird advice that totally helped me break free.
“I took hundreds of pills and washed 'em down with wine. Next thing I know, waking up in ICU with a nurse dozing in the corner. Yep, not my proudest night!”
Admitted to the emotional torture I went through as a kid. Said they never hit me, but the doc was like “They didn’t have to.” Mind-blowing.
Forgotten a rough hookup totally, next day gyno sees a massive purple bruise during an exam. Cue awkward red cheeks and overexplaining that yes, it was consensual. Thankfully, no judgment - just laughter!
Told my neuro I couldn’t feel anything waist down, including my groin. The doc wrote that down, so now every other doc asks the same personal question. Fun times, right?
After a pregnancy loss, I told my doc I felt like my body was a grave and I was buried inside. It was rough, but I’m doing better now.
Confessed my social anxiety, eye-contact dodging, procrastination, and sensory quirks. Have autism and ADHD. Doc knows, but it hasn’t stopped me from rocking my job for years!
I told my doc I couldn’t ever remember being happy. They just looked at me like, “Wow, that’s rough.” It’s been a decade downhill, so hey, take care of yourselves!
I admitted to my doctor that I slept with someone just to have a roof during the pandemic. Very embarrassing, but hey, life’s messy!
Told the doc the glass shower door “just shattered” when it hit my knee. Truth? I was leg-pressing like a champ against it. Ended with 36 stitches - whoops!
While getting screened for ADHD, I confessed my brain sometimes throws terrifying “what if” thoughts, like blurting the N-word in public (totally not me, just my tired brain being nasty). The doc was cool about it.
I told my doc I had a crush on her when I was 10. She wasn’t thrilled, and honestly, it still stings a bit.
Even as an adult, I still occasionally wet the bed. So every yearly checkup, my doc and I have a funny and awkward chat about whether it’s better, worse, or the same. Priceless.
Got misdiagnosed with something wild, then told my psychiatrist I thought of her as a friend. She quickly declared she was NOT my friend but my doc. Ouch, but fair.
I told my doctor if it weren’t for my kid, I’d have given up. She was super kind and supportive, which pulled me out of the darkest hole. Still grateful.
Finally, I told a doctor about a teacher who groomed me 12 years ago - something I’d never told anyone. Felt like lifting a giant weight off my shoulders.
I used crochet hooks to itch my nose bone because it literally felt itchy from a birth defect. Fixing that took years, but the itch still freaks me out sometimes!
I got pregnant once more after a loss, but I hadn’t had a period. Went to the doctor going, “How did this happen?!” Doc just laughed and said, “You missed 10th-grade health class.”
Told my doc I had three testicles. Turned out the “third” was just a cyst. Not quite the surprise I expected.
I shared my OCD’s nitty-gritty only with my therapist. Even though I seem “insane,” close friends and family know the basics but that’s it. Some things just stay in the vault.
Told my doc I sometimes thought life’d be easier if my boyfriend passed away from cancer. Yep, that’s a tough one to say, but honesty counts.
I think I told my doc I love her while high after fertility treatment, possibly in front of my husband. Oops?
Slipped through a window and got doused in nitric acid, burning holes in my legs. My kind GP ignored the receptionist’s “go-away” orders, patched me right up without asking for a dime. Hero alert!
Had to explain to the doc that I fell from scaffolding and felt like I exploded a ball. Awkward and kinda hilarious.
Doc told me no power tools or vacuums after surgery. I warned him I’d be a total witch after 6 weeks of that. He stared, then burst out laughing. I was dead serious, though!
Sometimes I get so sad I feel numb, like there’s a black hole eating me up. Told the doc, got meds, felt crappy at first but then finally like myself again.
Only admitted the crazy OCD compulsions to my doc so I’d get diagnosed. Otherwise, those thoughts stay locked up tight.
Had a nasty allergic reaction and was offered steroids. Said I was worried about triggering herpes. Turns out, I mixed up my cat’s herpes with my own health! Oops.
My ex-military doc told me my blood pressure was high because I was bulking with junk food. Her advice? “Stop being an idiot.” Love her honesty!
I told my psychologist about my massive fantasy world - I imagine being a giant sentient starship! She might’ve thought I was nuts or trying to impress her. Either way, it was kinda fun.
Yep, told my doc that my mojo had been missing for three years. Awkward, but hey, honesty is key!
My coworker’s wild story: After a night of fun and some drinks, she got a tear in her uterus from, uh, interesting positions. ER, surgery, lots of awkward explanations, but hey, she and her boo tied the knot later!
Confessed that I ate nail polish and wanted to know if it caused damage. Doc gave me reassurance; now I keep that hobby in check.
Admitted to my psychiatrist that I’m super anxious about slugs sneaking in through vents. Not even sure why, but the doc just nodded and jotted it down.
Told the doc I was 100% sure I had pinworms since my wife saw them. Doc tried saying it was allergies but I’m sticking with my gut on this one!
Tried shaving stray hairs before my doc appointment and ended up with razor burns all over my chest. Had to admit it, skin fair enough to see every red mark and blush shamefully.
Simple and honest: Told my doc I basically don’t trust anybody. Not a confidence booster, but sometimes truth hurts!
Confessed to unhealthy cravings - baby powder, baking soda, cornstarch - all thanks to anemia. Felt super embarrassed but hey, the doc and fam helped me figure it out.
I admitted I talk to myself and it felt like a huge weight lifted off my chest. Not something I share with just anyone, but hey, honesty is the best policy.
Confessed to thinking my doc was handsome. Fast forward: we ended up getting married! Proof doctors can be swoon-worthy.
Went to gyno for yeast infection symptoms. Doc peeked and said, “Uh, you left a sponge in there.” Cue horror and embarrassment!
Confessed to being SO afraid of electric toothbrushes. Doc listened, and I swear Hyperemesis Gravidarum didn’t help my mind or soul at that point.
Okay, not weird, but telling my doc about E.D. was just plain uncomfortable. We all get awkward sometimes!
Told the doc my left eye hurts and every light looks like the Eye of Sauron. They just nodded and took notes. Good times.
Spilled about seeing visual static all the time and having vivid nightmares if I get headaches before bed. Doc listened like it was perfectly normal.
I’m asexual but during autism testing, I had to admit to hypersexual thoughts - even though I don’t act on them. Pretty embarrassing to explain!
Confessed that I fib about how long something’s been happening just to dodge a lecture from the doc. Honest but sneaky, right?
My wife spilled to the ER doc that she’d once used a toy on me. Yep, totally mortifying but I guess honesty is the best policy in emergencies!
Told the doc I felt an attachment to them - not a crush, just a weird emotional bond. She looked kinda confused but cool with it.
Confessed to my doc that I was worried my boyfriend might be gay. Got all tests back negative, thank goodness!
I once told my doc, in all caps, that it’s like I’m wiping a marker. Not sure what that means, but it sounded important!
I went for testing because I was scared of transmission, not just from my male partners. Doc took it seriously.
Told my doc I tried my wife’s anxiety meds and liked them, so I wanted a script. I’m honest about buying meds online too, and doc trusts me to self-advocate. Best doc ever!
