How to deal with someone who doesn't believe my diagnosis?

How do I explain to someone that consistently won't belive me even though I have proof of diagnosis?

You accept this person is a waste of energy. They can 'not believe' in a diagnosis all they want but all they are showing is that this isn't someone you can come to, with your problems.

If they don't believe facts they are too far up on mount stupid to convince. If it were me I would tell them if they won't believe a diagnosis then there's no sense in using more energy on convincing them.

I am proof that treatment helps and some won't hear me. There are insane misconceptions. I think people don't believe it is real. It is very painful and I sought to hide it because I didn't know what was wrong with me.

You don’t. No amount of you trying to explain it will make them choose to believe. Some things aren’t worth your energy.
