#sent there for a diagnosis

You know what at this point I feel like maybe I just need to either get institutionalised again or start an internship again because I feel like I am getting nothing.

Well, so my third attempt this year to find out what my chronic pain is ended up in another failure

Last year I completely gave up after too many random diagnosis and no solution. I'm trying again:

- gynecologist asked me if I wanted the pill if I had pain during my period (the pain is constant it just gets more intense during my period and my period is much more heavy as well since last year), the rest of the cancer test were clear

- GP says maybe it's stomach (?? Pain is under my ribs so I guess it could be), she gives me anti acid to try. The anti acid makes me feel so sick I stop at day six.

- I go back for blood tests, all clear. The GP is like okay bye, and I'm like ?? I still have pain?? Like I am missing so many working days. So she gives me ibuprofen (now keep in mind she thought it was my stomach before, and now she's giving me something that is usually not kind on the stomach). She tells me take it for two weeks every time you have pain (which would be every day for me)

And I'm like.. okay... And then she says something like "unfortunately it's impossible to know what it is, maybe it's your depression"

Now, I'm not depressed. I've not been diagnosed with depression. I take ADHD medications. This is the third time she calls them "anti depressants" and she tells me I have depression. I don't??

So I decided to go to a private clinic for an ultrasound, on my own. I don't understand why Doctors in Germany are like this. I've lived in three different countries and this is the only one where I've seen this level of incompetence, rudeness and disregard. If you're not immediately dying then it's "depression" (even if you are not diagnosed with it and don't have it).

I have a meeting on Monday with a social worker to review my medical history so I was checking and printing everything and the first unspecified abdominal pain I had diagnosed it’s from 2022, damn

Have been in a “tummy hurt send help” state for longer than I thought

[sadkachow]

me: so yeah i feel super dizzy and lightheaded when i stand up and also just at random times of the day and also my heart just starts pounding randomly and it skips a beat randomly at least once a day and im also experiencing these other small things that i realized probably arent normal

the cardiologist: yeah, your heart’s beating too fast, but that’s just Normal Teenager Things™️! probably just like dehydration or something lol

fascinating how this one gp manages to make me feel like shit every single time

idk whats worse the idea that my parents genuinely dont believe that mental illness exist or the apparent reality that they Do believe in mental illness they just dont think people need accommodations or medication. is this a joke. taps on the glass let me out of my enclosure

For the record I spent months going back on forth on whether or not to talk to my doctor about the possibility of me being Autistic, getting my self so worked up over the fear that I was giving my self an incorrect self diagnosis and would be laughed out of the hospital. Or that, like my ADHD diagnosis, it would take an incredibly emotionally taxing year before I got an answer, until I finally worked up the balls to just get it over with.

I spoke to the guy for like 10 minutes before he went “yeah you’re definitely autistic, we’ll mail you a questionnaire for you to answer but that’s really just a formality, you’re a clear case”

i know i'm not a medical professional but i simply could not imagine withholding a diagnosis because your 5 year old patient's mother doesn't fully understand the condition

Now... how do i phrase "i have depression and maybe some kind of personality disorder, and i need antidepressants now or else im gonna hurt myself" in a way where my doctor will think that it was his idea, and that he came to that conclusion all by himself, so that he'll actually take me seriously and not just try and pawn me off to a school counsellor again

i got like 10 people to take the RAADS-R test today

the topic of autism and self diagnosis came up again, and i always go "the first place i went to told me to pay $3000 for the assessment + with a diagnosis there comes a ton of legal barriers such as immigration, so until all of that stops being a thing, self diagnosis is totally okay as long as you're looking at reputable sources for that information"

which became people comparing RAADS-R scores, and then more people started the test as well.

Out of everyone there, one person got below an 80— with a 20. (The threshold for autism is 60+/240, I got a score of 190)
