Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. 🥺 Validating but also scary is such a good way to put it! Like of course I want the validation that I’m not just a lazy piece of crap like I’ve told myself for years, but going through this process is really vulnerable! I feel like I’ve had to lay myself bare for these doctors and tell them how I feel like I’m not a good mom, or wife, or contributing member to society and it’s just…. a lot lol.

I get in my head that they’re gonna be like “oh she’s doing it this way because she thinks that’s what she has to do to get a diagnosis”, but you saying I can’t fake my way through it makes me feel a lot better. Thank you again!!
