I had to go to the hospital for an emergency. Had a convo with the staff and they ended up yelling at me and shaming me after I told them I once had IV saline which helped my symptoms. They said the other country that had given me it, had made a mistake cause now I “believe” I’m seriously ill since I had to get such a serious treatment.. I’m in Norway btw.

I thought IV saline were completely normal to administer most patients staying in the hospitals across the world? I didn’t even ask them to give me IV I just told them about my symptoms and what has helped a bit in the past when I was traveling with my ME and new concerning symptoms appeared

They ended up sending me home and indirectly stating that I just believe I am sick, and by giving me anything they will feed into that belief

I’m so tired of having ME in my journals. All it has done is cause me problems and being looked at as “one of those difficult patients”

When I shower and right after my symptoms are close to zero. But quickly come back. This only happens if I use a speicifc shampoo to wash my skin with, anything else like regular soap doesn’t cut it. Wondering if people have had similar experiences?

TL;DR Bf gets (imo) disproportionately angry over instances where I accidentally interrupts him. Takes the anger out on me and explains how I am in the wrong for doing so. Anger is linked to me saying words like no, and repeating something I just said.

For context, I have a severe chronic illness causing me brainfog and fatigue. This affects both my thinking and behavior although it is not an excuse for behaving poorly. Everytime we speak I try to remember to not interrupt him, sadly I don’t even notice I am interrupting him most of the time when it happens:(

We were speaking about safety meassures for me, since I will be moving to a new country that’s not as safe as where I live. I told him I need an AirTag just for my safety and he said “that won’t be necessary…” so I cut him off and said “no I absolutely need that” and he immediately switched from 0 to 100 and became angry. He said “you can’t cut me off and I was gonna suggest something even better”. He said the fact that I started the sentence with “no” and also that I felt the need to repeat my sentence was not how any normal person behaves. And that it is burdensome when I repeat myself, he said he already heard me the first time.

I started crying but he kept going while yelling. We ended up having a long argument where he insisted I was in the wrong for cutting him off. I tried to explain that me cutting him off has nothing to do with him, and I value his opinion and it has more to do with me thinking out loud expressing a need.

Do I need to apologize for cutting him off in this situation? I personally don’t think I did something majorly wrong for him to get so aggressive, but I still feel bad that he felt hurt by it. He started to talk about breaking up and that we are too different etc
