Just a random thought or question. How are you coping with medical conversations with doctors? Since I became sick I developed extreme anxiety with doctors appointments. I’m scared I’ll be disregarded (again), drug seeking, overall everything negative. I’m terrified to tell that meds are no longer working because in the past instead of switching the dose or giving an alternative they just took it off me completely. I’m terrified my sick note won’t be extended although I’m still unwell. I feel like it’s a constant fight to plead your case and I don’t have willpower to fight. I had bad experiences with every doctor in my practice and I remember what they did to me. Instead of names I’m letting my partner now “ I have appointment today with one that told me to get over myself” or “learn to live with the pain”. I write every word I’m going to say starting with hello and ending with bye because I’m so stressed. I never been like this, but becoming disabled changed me that I no longer have any trust in doctors.
