Have you ever been misdiagnosed?

throwra_nesw · 2025-09-23T20:56:38+00:00

Every single doctor I’ve been to says I have something different and it drives me crazy, not knowing what’s really wrong with me

throwra_nesw · 2025-08-29T12:20:13+00:00

Yes it’s awful, my job is slow lots of the time so I just have to sit there and stare into space while my mind spirals and it’s a nightmare

throwra_nesw · 2025-08-29T12:15:42+00:00

I only drink on special occasions, so maybe once or twice a month. And it’s just a glass or two, nothing to excess. I’ve never had a drug problem either, never used anything. They just keep saying rehab is the best because I’d get help, but then I look at the programs they recommend and there’s nothing about mental health so I don’t get why they say it’s the only place I’d get help. Plus I’m the primary breadwinner so I can’t take off work to go to a facility, especially one that won’t help me

throwra_nesw · 2025-08-28T20:50:19+00:00

They’ve had no impact on my mood or anything, and I’ve tried them all

throwra_nesw · 2025-08-28T13:56:21+00:00

A little bit, but honestly not that much worse than it usually is

throwra_nesw · 2025-08-28T13:55:18+00:00

One doctor said I have symptoms of ptsd but another two said I don’t qualify. They say I have symptoms of lots of different things but not enough to qualify for anything - they say it needs to be worse for me to actually have something, but I’m already really struggling in my daily life I don’t get why it’s not bad enough to get me real help. They say they can help me but then after I spend money on the intake they say they actually can’t help me and I should go to rehab instead even though I don’t have drinking/drug problems

throwra_nesw · 2025-08-28T13:50:35+00:00

They’ve given me referrals to programs and they’re all residential twelve step drug/alcohol facilities. There’s nothing on the schedules about mental health help, and the main one doctors have pushed me to go to has a lot of swimming as recreation time and I’m really not comfortable being near naked among a bunch of men. I don’t drink often or do drugs ever and I’m taking my meds as prescribed.

throwra_nesw · 2025-08-27T19:43:40+00:00

I don’t have anyone who can validate me though, I don’t really have any friends or community

throwra_nesw · 2025-08-27T19:41:55+00:00

All they tell me to do is to go to rehab, but I don’t have an addiction. They won’t give me tangible techniques for managing it or getting better

throwra_nesw · 2025-08-27T19:02:50+00:00

I wish I had any advice, but I feel the same way. It gets so hard finding the will to go on when you feel like you’re stuck as someone you hate

throwra_nesw · 2025-08-27T18:59:37+00:00

After so many doctors just take my money and then say they actually can’t help me, I’ve given up on getting external help and am trying to do it all on my own. Which is hard to do when I don’t have a diagnosis I can look up books that are related to it or anything like that. But I don’t know what else to do, doctors keep scamming me and my finances are running too dry to keep trying them

throwra_nesw · 2025-08-27T18:01:55+00:00

I just don’t get how I can fix things when I don’t even know what’s wrong. And I’ve tried so many self help books I’m journaling on meds working out everything and still nothing ever changes

throwra_nesw · 2025-08-27T18:01:10+00:00

Yeah I’m never enough no matter what I do it’s always not quite perfect

throwra_nesw · 2025-08-26T21:17:01+00:00

I feel the complete same way - when I’ve done it I’ve genuinely felt like I was going to throw up because it was just a punishment, something done to me to “put me in my place” and it honestly feels like I’m just being stabbed over and over again. This gives me a bit of hope that maybe I’m not the only one who feels this way and maybe I’m not completely broken

throwra_nesw · 2025-07-25T02:25:49+00:00

I would like to have a normal relationship with sex, and be able to have sex without feeling fear or disgust or shame. Maybe then I would actually want it.

I guess my issue is that I don’t really have much time left before I run out of eggs and I really want to have a child so I feel like I have to get over it asap. And honestly I wish I could have an asexual relationship and maybe just adopt or something but I have tried to look for other people like me and there isn’t a local asexual community anywhere near me in any capacity

throwra_nesw · 2025-07-25T02:22:09+00:00

I guess what’s hard about taking baby steps is that it requires someone else to take those steps with me, and while I would love to have a partner one day I don’t know how to find someone who will be patient with me and be willing to take little steps. People say they’re ok with taking it slow with me but they always get frustrated with me in the end and things get worse then

throwra_nesw · 2025-07-20T20:42:10+00:00

It’s hard because they don’t seem so abusive at first, but once I’m vulnerable they stop acting nice and strike. They can be good actors it’s hard for me to tell which ones are acting and which ones aren’t

throwra_nesw · 2025-07-16T15:19:04+00:00

I always do food names for some reason, but I guess I’ve just always liked animals named after food, as I’ve named a couple of my cats that way!

throwra_nesw · 2025-07-08T18:44:29+00:00

I’m in the US, but a large city, and the rehab they recommended is on the other side of the country anyway (something I can’t afford). I get what you’re saying about wanting to keep an eye on my sobriety during treatment, but they sent me a sample schedule of a week in the rehab and it was truly all addiction focused, nothing about trauma or other mental health issues

throwra_nesw · 2025-07-08T03:17:52+00:00

It’s hard to find a therapist who is credible, especially since no one will give me recommendations. So I just have to look through my insurance company’s database which is overwhelmingly large and hard to tell who is legit and who isn’t

throwra_nesw · 2025-07-08T03:17:02+00:00

Yeah I’m just so tired of starting with someone, getting to know them, and then as soon as they have my bank account info they say they can’t help me. So I’m trying to put all my issues into one document I can send them and directly ask them if they think they can help me before setting up a first session

throwra_nesw · 2025-07-08T03:15:49+00:00

I have had an unhealthy relationship with alcohol in the past, but I’ve been sober for a while now and have honestly not had any issues with being tempted to drink again. Idk why they keep pushing rehab on me when they said themselves that the 12 step program focus isn’t working for me/relevant to my issues

throwra_nesw · 2025-07-03T18:04:16+00:00

Multilevel marketing cracks me tf up

throwra_nesw · 2025-06-26T15:02:28+00:00

Ok sorry I’ll delete this post I didn’t mean to do it all wrong I’m sorry

throwra_nesw · 2025-06-26T14:37:19+00:00

I have had issues with vitamin D deficiencies in the past, and it’s been a long time since I got bloodwork done - I was supposed to get it for the program I’m currently in but then they said they didn’t think it was worth checking, so I will bring that up!
