I just never feel like i can truly explain myself and then I feel dismissed.  I almost feel like they think I am lying or over exaggerating.
I agree ancientmelody proper health care should be free in all senses. Im in Canada so we do have basically free health care for everything but mental health/ physio etc. |
I understand being made to feel like you're lying or over exaggerating. When I was 18, everyone assumed I had BPD, but they couldn't diagnose me because I was too young. I had all the symptoms of BPD, but I was never sexually abused, and back then it was assumed that you had to have been sexually abused if you have BPD. So people constantly told me I was either lying/denying the abuse or I was exaggerating my symptoms. After awhile, I even started questioning myself, wondering if I was just being lazy. I asked my ex-T about this and she told me that I would have to be pretty sick to be making up my symptoms, and she told me I wasn't lazy. Made me feel better.
Only you truly know yourself. If you know something isn't right, then something isn't right. And if they don't believe you, then find someone who will. That is extremely important. But do be honest with the professionals. They can't fully help you if you're not.
