I look forward to the day I can see a doctor, dentist, or therapist and have nothing to hide out of fear of discrimination.

Meaning their refusal to treat me, overt or covert.

Or laymen, too.

And not expect a raised eyebrow and a "Oh? You're borderline? I've heard of people like this".

I look forward to the day I no longer need a doctor, dentist, or therapist, but i'm afraid that will be the day I only need the undertaker. the italians have a saying, "dam old age!"

I hate going to these places too. I don't know who I am at these places, or to these strange people. I think i'm turning into stopdog. it used to be the only place I got warm attention, compared to my family. now that I "get" how weird that is, it's getting a little scary or something, idk. hugs, billi.

The only reason my dentist and other Doctors even suspect (I've never confirmed) that I have a MI is because I've had to list the meds I'm on. But we seem to be on the 'dont ask, don't tell' policy..

Oh ive had my fair share of idiot health practioners...i once walked into my dentist's surgery and he immediately said; "Oh dear, in a sulk?" so i replied; "Only because ive had to come here..."

...

Which i think sent the message through clear enough. Even if they knew what medications im on and therefore possibly what disorder i have they still have zero right to comment on whatever emotions i may be experiencing at that moment. I am however happy with the fact he now knows i won't ever take his crap and should therefore keep his trap shut if he has nothing constructive to say. I might have a personality disorder but i know when someones being downright rude and needs putting back in their place.
Thanks for this!

thanks for all your replies.

bb's especially touched me. The pro's job is to treat our conditions, not ogle our lives.
