I wish they did actually. Self-control and pain are not necessarily exclusive and just because I can speak logically and talk though things in therapy doesn't mean that I should be cut short for the hysterical person. I may be in a much worse place mentally, I'm just more capable of handling it.

It basically took me reaching a complete breakdown point of not getting out of bed before they took me seriously. Kind of like the medical doctor, just because I have a higher pain tolerance doesn't mean my injury is any less severe than the next person.
