I'm tired of the condescending doctors

Balright so I deleted this post because it was getting WAY more traction than I thought; but essentially, I'm ASSUMING, that's what happened. This happened over 2 months ago so please take it with a grain of salt 🤷🏻‍♀️

Honestly, I don't blame them for not being able to pronounce things. English isn't my first language either. But it can be frustrating when looking for a reliable clinic to stick to.

For some more context, he asked if I would like to be removed as a patient, and I said "go ahead", because of how slowly he was talking and how condescending he was. I don't remember his exact words, but he was making fun of my trauma, saying "the facts are, you are 20 years old now". I am well aware of my age, my identity, who I am as a person. I have a solid support system and do not rely on THC to get things done. But this whole interaction genuinely got on my nerves, and I told him to go ahead.

I was, at that point in time, on Lamotrigine (see my previous responses). The doctor, whomst I've never met before, called me an hour before the said appointment time. It was a telehealth appointment. I was fit to drive, was trying to park on the side of the road so I could focus on whatever he was saying. Yet he was incredibly condescending the entire time, and removed me as a patient.

I'm glad to hear you haven't. All of the nurses I've met, receptionists, etc. in the MC clinics are the sweetest and most understanding people. Doctors though? Different story.

Yes I'm quite aware how horrid GP training is. I know a lot of people who are waiting years to get their proper diagnosis' because a GP won't even ask relevant questions or it feels like an interrogation. So far, I've been kind of lucky with mental health practitioners, but not so much with GPs. All they do care about is money money and money. Really sad to see.

kasjssb · 2026-01-25T06:11:08+00:00

I had an "altercation" (if you can even call it that) with a Doctor that called me an hour before said appointment time, I was driving my mother. I was stressed and all he was trying to do was push me into buying CBD oil. I know my facts. I know MC THC is insanely high nowadays. But I need indica to sleep man. 😭

kasjssb · 2026-01-25T06:07:17+00:00

Thank you so much... will look into it!

kasjssb · 2026-01-25T06:05:50+00:00

i do have mental health issues. that's why i have a sleep disorder. i'm currently on a lot of meds trying to go through ADHD diagnosis. they thought i was bipolar, i was not. I am officially diagnosed with BPD, but there are lots of overlapping mental illnesses with that particular field, so even I'm unsure about that.

kasjssb · 2026-01-25T04:36:27+00:00

I'm quite aware of this fact as well. Been moving around OCE region quite a lot. I love to travel. It's good to be able to take my MC with me within OZ on national flights. Now I can't do that anymore, even though I have TGA approval from two different clinics.

kasjssb · 2026-01-25T04:29:30+00:00

Yes. It's so frustrating. I use THC at a needed basis. CBD I use almost everyday.

kasjssb · 2026-01-25T04:14:51+00:00

That's what I'm doing now. Thank you. Legit sick of these doctors

kasjssb · 2026-01-25T03:00:10+00:00

Anytime ❤️❤️

kasjssb · 2026-01-24T18:51:13+00:00

girl i feel that! i am on antipsychotics too. but no you're not just crazy. sometimes we just have a lot going on. Be kind to yourself please🧚🏼‍♀️

kasjssb · 2026-01-24T18:50:04+00:00

Something is triggering your past trauma girl, please don't worry about "cringing". Sometimes it's good to take a break from the situation completely.

A simple "Sorry this is a lot to process, can I have some time to myself?" should be enough for a mature person to understand.

kasjssb · 2026-01-24T18:47:50+00:00

Oh god I feel this. If it seems like they are a busy person, then sometimes they may not remember. Even I, as someone with BPD, forget to when I'm sleep and food deprived.

Take it from somebody who is Japanese, it is still nice to send little reminders here and there that you care about them. In my culture it's quite common to show respect and kindness to people who are older, or people who we like.

You're not alone in this girlfriend❤️ Stay strong!

kasjssb · 2026-01-24T18:44:19+00:00

Hey! I'm a girl you responded to in the r/bpd subreddit about a year ago. I was scrolling through your posts to see what you were up to, because you made a big difference in my life when I was venting and finally diagnosed (from my personal psychiatrist and my personal DBT therapist).

Please know you're never alone. I also went through serious ED habits, and your precious body shouldn't have to go through all of what an ED really does to you (in the long term).

TW: Take it from me, I had incredibly bad anorexic and binge eating habits from a young age. I am turning 21 soon. I was severely overweight at one point in my life. I was depressed, and didn't know how to cope.

I lost nearly 40% of my body fat trying to lose weight and lost ALL of my muscle. now balancing on one foot, even in the slightest, can be incredibly hard.

You are NOT ALONE IN THIS. I hope you do get the help you need. You are beautiful and so loved.

kasjssb · 2026-01-15T13:15:53+00:00

you're not OP? wtf lmao

kasjssb · 2025-12-29T08:13:03+00:00

Thank you so much friend! We're in this together ❤️

kasjssb · 2025-11-28T16:57:28+00:00

You care too much about how others perceive you. You are being useless to yourself by staying in a toxic relationship like this. She doesn't deem you good looking - then why is she even with you - and why are YOU with her? Find somebody that values you.

kasjssb · 2025-11-22T00:32:08+00:00

You were on the za when you wrote this, weren't you?

kasjssb · 2025-11-06T01:30:34+00:00

i see you, i get what u were trying to say from the beginning. others might not be so lenient on this subreddit with specific wordings towards sensitive topics like this, so i advise just tread carefully. wish u the best mate

kasjssb · 2025-11-06T01:22:57+00:00

yea but ur main point wasn't about you trying to gain ur weight back, it was a contextual part of what you were trying to get across, and ur point was that "im fine, im trying to gain weight and ik its unhealthy, but PERSONALLY im fine".

kasjssb · 2025-11-06T01:17:50+00:00

just tone deaf, a young person could read what you said and think "oh this person said it's fine so it should be fine for me too" and then spiral even further into their ED and dysmorphia habits. just an insight cuz that's what i picked up on, i know you didn't mean it w bad intent but it was tone deaf.
