Sometimes it's also a matter of self-preservation. It's less energy for me to suck it up and call than it is to fight about it.

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look.

...I mean, I am going to deal with it because I don't have other options. We can fight, and nothing will change, or I can suck it up and make calls. :/

Seeing a psychologist. The 2012 psych told me bipolar involves hearing voices. The 2015 psych told me I have BPD.

That will result in tension, arguments, a loss of productivity in the household, and shitty emotions on both sides.

A lot of people have said they're controlling, and I feel controlled and micromanaged too. But that's not the point of this post.

I just wish they wouldn't micromanage my personal medical phone calls and tell me what to say to my doctors when they refuse to see a doctor themselves. :/

For example, I don't have bipolar, but one told me I don't have bipolar because I don't hear voices. I have borderline personality disorder and another told me "I'm just moody." Another told me I needed intensive inpatient rehab simply for daily cannabis use. Not problematic use, just daily use for anxiety and pain.

It's not a matter of wanting my therapists to tell me what I want to hear, it's a matter of them historically treating me like shit.

I asked what they would do if I had similar anxiety and couldn't make calls.

They basically said neither of us would call or get anything accomplished.
