I had just about given up on talking to doctors about anything. I went in to see my family practitioner in order to get a DNR signed and when he asked me why he started to talk about all these things he could do to try to help me.

I suffer from a variety of different pains and for the most part it has become difficult to know what is an actual symptom and what is just an oddity that isn't worth mentioning.

How do I talk to him without it sounding like I'm depressed and having him refer me to a psychiatrist. I've been through all the treatments and I know the routine better than most specialists.

I really am unsure what route I want to take, some days I just don't care and others I have so many ideas for tests and treatments. Usually my tests don't turn up much and it's too expensive to try to check everything.

Not sure if I should just stop going or try to talk to him again about it. I just don't feel like seeing a shrink is going to benefit me any.
