To me, this is really a problem when people are wrongly labelled and when providers, for whatever reason, appear not to have empathy. Too often there is a “just” or an “only” .... ah I could rant for ever and it wouldn’t change much... or would it... is it really ok to be silenced etc by providers
“cry baby” or not (and I was called that as a young cub) your pain is real, and so is mine. That is not “attention seeking”. And severe
