Since no one noticed I was sick, until I finally got my courage up to speak to my pdoc -- at the age of 40, thank you very much -- that's never been a problem for me.
Bad day here, too...
Back to you -- that's exactly why I disagreed with Poet. If your doctor disregards what you're saying, I don't think that doctor is good enough for you. You deserve better. You deserve the basic respect of having someone else LISTEN to you. Sure, he/she/it may not agree with you, may not entirely understand you, may not believe you, but that doesn't mean you don't deserve to be listened to.
I don't know what to tell you about this. Actually, let me back up a minute. Am I misinterpreting this? Which of your team is suggesting that this is your ED acting up? If it's your therapist, that's certainly grist for the mill -- ask why he won't believe your self-report? Discuss that. At least, I'd like to believe that I could do that...
My bad day may be getting worse -- I let the call go to voicemail, but I think I have to listen to it, so gotta end here...
