I'm sorry that you are struggling with feeling misunderstood, with your problems being minimized. I can relate to feeling your troubles being minimized a lot. I've been fighting that for a LONG time.

I *think* that doctors sometimes minimize our issues to try and make us feel less burdened. Like we can tell ourselves, "the doctor doesn't think that my problems are super-unusual ~ that cheers me up. I feel better now!" It just doesn't work that way though, does it?

I agree with Open Eyes. Do keep your eyes peeled for another doctor. One who has a bedside manner that fits you better. That understanding is important so you're on the right meds & dosages that work better for you!

I hope that you get some relief soon!
