Sounds like it's time for you to look for another doctor. I'd never put up with being treated with disrespect or rudeness like that by ANY doctor.

I will be looking for a new family doctor ASAP. I have learned my lesson on going by myself, also.

I'm still trying to forget my last visit to a psychiatrist, two months ago. The appointment was supposed to be about AS, which the autism centre thought I have. She asked me if I brooded and if I derived pleasure from things. I told her I was brooding about AS and that I enjoyed things. She asked me what things I enjoyed and I said "the things I'm interested in". She said "That sounds pretty normal". She then asked me if I did any exercise. When I told her that I didn't do any exercise she expressed strong disapproval and asked me why not. She then said that maybe I just wanted to be ill and sent me away.  |

But, it's times like today, going to my NT family doctor and her being a complete b***h, that makes me just want to curl up in a ball, sob and never deal with anybody ever again. When I was telling her about how little sleep I've been getting and it has really been messing with me she said I was rambling and for me to "hush it" or she was going to "walk out of the room". B*tch,, aren't you paid to hear what my medical issues are? *screams very loudly in my head* So, anyway, I'm back to my original thought. What's the point of even going out into the world if nobody will ever understand me? |
How dare she!  Does she not understand that that is COMPLETELY hurtful and counter-productive?! Ugh!
But you gotta remember:
Yes, there are many people who will not understand, like her.
Yes, the world is mostly inhabited by neurotypicals.
But, that doesn't mean nobody will ever understand you! Look at us, we all do! And there are definitely neurotypicals out there that do, though they are scarce.
Your life's not over yet. You haven't met all the people you will ever meet yet. You are going to meet people who will understand you, people in real life. I guarantee.
Maybe try to find a local Aspie community? I know that they exist.
