My bad mental health support stories continue šŸ˜… I was speaking to a mental health nurse at my local surgery about renewing antidepressants. Convo was going well until I mentioned my executive dysfunction symptoms. I havenā€™t brushed my teeth in the last couple of months let alone leave the house or look after any other part of life and this sent the conversation spiralling. She asked ā€œdoesnā€™t your mouth just feel disgusting all the timeā€ ā€œhasnā€™t your boyfriend mentioned anythingā€ ā€œit isnā€™t difficult it only takes 2 minutesā€ All of this along with saying antidepressants wonā€™t help me to do these things. Bruh. I filed an extensive report to my GP to get this seen to. Iā€™m sick and tired of health professionals judging their patients for something they are actively trying to fix. Why else would I be in therapy for years, signing up for my uniā€™s disability service, starting anti depressants again if I didnā€™t want to improve my current situation?? I donā€™t need to be told by a woman Iā€™ve spoken to on the phone for 10 minutes that Iā€™m a disgusting person - I am more than aware and it has become a self fulfilling prophecy.
