So sorry that happened to you.

Once I went to see a therapist at the school health centre, and she did the same thing. She was like 'wow, it's amazing you are even able to get through the day!' She told me to drop out of university, because she thought it was too much for me. That just pushed me to work harder, and I got a 4.0 that year!

Take her pity as a reason to work harder. Let it strengthen your resolve. If you look at my signature, I have a bunch of mental health conditions. In my last year of undergrad, I also ended up in the ICU because of a surgery gone wrong. I almost died. But I didn't let that stop me. Now I'm in medical school. And there are others in my class who are dealing with significant medical issues like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and crohn's disease.

You are not your disease, and you can achieve a lot if you set your mind to it. Never let anyone discourage you.

And remember, she's just a person in a white coat. Doctors are people too. They're not perfect beings. They make mistakes. Some of them just plain suck. She's probably always had it easy, never been sick or had major adversity in her life, so she doesn't know what it's like. If she had been ill herself when she was a student, she would know not to pity you. But she just doesn't know any better. Pity her in return for not knowing better. For not being a better doctor. Pity her for that.
