So I went to a meds check yesterday and reported to my psychiatrist that I'd been having a hard time. Experienced a month long depressive episode (that seems to be rearing it's head again after a week) and have been having panic attacks and obsessive thoughts again.

To which he replied (at least in regard to the obsessive thoughts, I'm not sure if this is his attitude toward all facets of my mental illness) that I was just "eccentric" and maybe it was just "who I was."

I can't express how damaging this has been. I usually just brush offenses and bad thoughts under the rug, but I can't seem to let this go. Especially when the two friends I told, while expressing that it was wrong of him to say, both gave me the impression that they agreed. Both saying something along the lines of "Well.................." With these long pauses that I think we all know the meaning of.

I can't shake this. What would you think? Should I just resign myself to the fact that my mental illness is a personal flaw? A quirk????
