On more than one occasion I have had to clarify that I do not suffer from generalized anxiety or depression related to a chemical imbalance but that they are for me, circumstances of living with PN.
I have also learned (the hard way) to describe symptoms and convey my experiences in a calm manner. I need medical help and the last thing I want is to trigger my doctor's own fight or flight response.
