I finally got myself to see a counselor about my anxiety, and got this. It gave me a panic attack and I haven’t gone back since. It feels like it’s getting worse and worse but if all I’m going to get is that then why should I bother? I don’t know what I’m supposed to do if I’m just going to be told that I can’t get help unless I get diagnosed.
oh my god seriously? this is like asking someone how they know they have chronic pain if they haven’t been diagnosed: BECAUSE IT FUCKING HURTS. you know you have anxiety problems BECAUSE YOUR ANXIETY IS FUCKING UP YOUR LIFE. jesus christ

Always happens. Especially in the ER, they come back having looked it up and decides to hit you with a hammer-just to check you’ve got it.
I HATE when I have to educate my doctors. Way to destroy my trust that you know what’s best for me.
