Some docs just dont understand that we dont need a degree to understand our own minds or bodies... With me, gp's are surprized that I know the names of my bones or muscles. No stupid dr,I didnt memorize it to 'look' smart. I studied dance for 5yrs in HS and it stuck. I think psych docs are no different. Both my pdocs and T found it strange that I am so acutely introspective and 'aware'. Well,atleast they ended up respecting me for it, which also means they LISTENED. Wish they'd hear you too
