Hi im sorry for the story book but I need to get some of this off ma chest. been going to the docs for years to no avail for headaches sore stomachs feeling down and many more things even had 1 doc tell me that I had to start caring about ma self ma answer was y theirs nothing to care about he showed me out his door. I asked for another doc and that I was never letting him near me again he's had horrible bed side manners that if I was ill and even if he was the on call doc and I had an emergency that I would rather walk the 3 miles to hospital than have him near me😂. Now finally after all these years I had a doc who referred me to mental health and got diagnosed with cptsd I'm still waiting for a psychologist appointment I also have something else to do with my emotions ma psychiatrist said it's cause it was to do with ma trauma happing at a young age that I don't trust folks I don't even trust ma family so I keep them at arms length so I don't get hurt again and again it's easier for me to keep folks away from me than trust them i have a few folks that have clamedc that they broke ma wall down with no hassle but I don't tell them that they never even made a dent in it its a brick wall hiding the metal wall inside it. I'm tired of feeling like this I I'm tired all time I either sleep too much or don't sleep I wish ma headaches would go and never come back and the flash backs but so far still here and controlling ma life I want to start living it

I myself have been there so many times.
I forgot to add in my introduction to the forum. Ever you have problems with Doctors consider using an advocate .
Some one who represents you. Speaks on behalf. In my area where I live charity called Rethink. Has advocate service. Look on line in your area something to look at. Works for me.
I have mental health as well. Anxiety, depression use mental health charities. Plus disability.
One I can recommend is Richmond Fellowship .
https:// wwwrichmondfellowship.org.uk.
They have a recovery programme use coping methods, strategies to deal with mental health. Have a look. Hope that helps.
I used them as I was getting no where lots of knockbacks. Need to address what is going on.
Remember you are part of our community now and we are here to help, guide you. Also try to help yourself. That is part of the forum.
The main reason I joined is find help, support with my mental health, new friends and makes my day better.
Always here for a chat . Take care.
