AllImsaying has a good point about your not whining. I'm sorry the Dr.s are making you feel that way.

If you have not already, see if you can find a therapist that is not in a hospital. The ER staff unfortunately tend to just send people home or tell them they are drug seekers. Once you have a therapist, if you do need to go into an inpatient situation, it will be a Dr. who admitted you and will be able to control how long your stay is.

I have chronic migraines that only respond to narcotics, and before I found a pain management clinic, every time I went into the ER, I was pegged as a drug seeker. They would try everything under the sun, all of which had been tried before with no relief. During one of those visits, they put something in IV that nearly cost me my hand. You can bet the staff came running when my hand turned purple! I'm sure there are some compassionate Dr.s working in the ER, but you would be better with a specialist.

Medicine has become very specialized, which in some ways is good, but it also means that there are many Dr.s who are not up on mental illness. Unfortunately, they hold the power. A good Dr. is irreplaceable, but a bad one can really get under your skin.
