And now I'm nervous. I have this irrational fear that I'll get an abnormal result and have to do testing and all that. I also have some moles that need to get checked out, and I'll probably have to be referred to a dermatologist for that, and I have this crazy fear that I have melanoma or something and don't even know it. This is why I hate going to the doctor, they have the potential to point out things that are wrong, and part of me would rather be blissfully unaware! (Even though I know it's better to know so it can be fixed/caught in time.)

You up there, stop it with the crazy, irrational fears already!
Re: Just booked my next pap and physical
I think the fears are pretty common. I am the exact same way. In January I had a physical with blood tests, I hadn't had one in over 10 years, and I thought I was going to faint due to nerves.
I prepare myself for the worse and when everything is good, it feels like a ton of bricks has lifted.
Good luck!
