Anxiety/depression
I agree brain....you know when I finally did get to the neurologist (after 15 MDs)kept trying to put me on depression meds and I fought and said I AM NOT DEPRESSED!Well I was also fighting because I know my body and I know when ANYTHING IS WRONG WITH ANYBODY'S BODY your body automatically get's depressed and anxiety.....so I waited and waited and fought and fought till I got this diagnosis to start antidepressants and I believe I got PTSD from A.The accident and B.The trauma of MDs.....yep I really do!
As I was sitting talk to the psychologist telling her the fine details of what I remember of accident and the MD fights....she stops and says "THIS IS HORRIBLE"while at this point she's looking at me like how the **** am I still here!I told her I don't want sympathy I need answers,coping skills etc....
she said I am not trying to give you sympathy, I have to commend you if anything and she looked like she was more upset than me but not crying....She was speechless for a moment and said who is your support group besides your family?I said me,myself,and I!!!She replied I really believe you are one of the strongest clients I have and I been doing this for 30years.
