People like that make me sick and I don't think they should be medical professionals if they can't treat people in pain with the compassion they deserve. Does he not see that the emotional cuts are the deepest ones? Or maybe he does and thinks you do that to yourself as well! (Like any of us would?!) If a patient who is hurting is such an inconvenience to him, he really needs to remove himself from the premises. I'm so sorry you had to experience that. Basically suggesting that you are a waste of his time? Who does he think he is?! What an arsewipe!

I agree with ATAT that you are an incredibly strong person. You've suffered so much, and your ability to keep fighting is remarkable. That sort of battle requires immense strength and courage. You have a lot to be proud of.
Thank you! I appreciate it. It really sucks that even doctors don't understand mental illness. Last week when he stitched me, he told them I didn't need a psych consult because I willingly did it to myself. I ended up in psych because of my pdoc anyway but I guess this doctor doesn't see self harm as an illness?
