What’s with doctors and not hearing me out bro? Like genuinely I get that they have to deal with tons of people each day and they hear the same things and prescribe the same things and say the same things cause most people fall into certain criteria.. but when I’ve been saying “I’m not depressed, it’s something else” since my freshman year of high school, but they’re STILL shoving “oh you must be depressed/anxious” down my throat?? Like insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I get it. I’m not a doctor. I never claimed to be, but I can tell you what’s going on in my head to the best of my ability. I don’t always have the words for what I’m feeling, I can’t always pinpoint what triggers certain emotions or sensations, but I feel like as a doctor I’d try to hear out the patient if they’ve been searching for the answers for over 5 years and are insisting it isn’t something they know like the back of their hand. Where do you go to find the doctors that will actually hear you out or care about the answer?
