Sometimes you bump into what I refer to as the limit of understanding and empathy, and I think you found that.

I feel there's a certain tolerance for people that are considered to be outside the common/normal experience, like us. People, doctors, and others are empathetic, but only to a degree and it varies by person and profession. But there is an outer limit.

I think in this case you reached that limit for that person. So you might have to find help elsewhere, Muddy. I'm so sorry.

I have hit that limit with my pdoc, which I find surprising. I thought it would be further out, but I guess not.

It's not you, Muddy it's the result of how the system is built. It's really crappy, since that leaves us in a not so great place having to find ways to cope or deal with on our own.
