Does anyone else get fired from doctors because you get upset when they won’t listen? Or you have explained that the treatment option offered is one you have tried and didn’t work?

@Daphne🧸 Yes, it just like a vet clinic when an animal is to aggressive or to scared and they get mouthy we fire them. Which means they can’t come back to the clinic.
Do you mean they don’t work with you anymore due to behavior? Since they can’t fire you.
@Nica I don’t get what you’re trying to say it’s just called firing, you can get fired either because you come there too much you’re rude, etc. so yes, basically they stop working with you which they call (firing). I said what I said
@Nica It’s called firing it doesn’t mean they’re actually firing you from a job like that’s obvious. What are you not understanding ?
I have been discharged from services after reporting a rude doctor's conduct to the state medical licensing board. She delayed my appointment for an IUD insertion over 4 hours. My appointment was.to have happened prior to lunch. I waited through lunch and my blood sugars dropped. She screamed at me for not having food at the ready. My appointment was for 9 a.m. - I still hadn't been seen by 1:30 p.m. 15 years ago I was misdiagnosed as having a mood regulation disorder when I truly had underlying type 2 diabetes, Hypothyroidism, Celiac diseasez and trauma causing an eating disorder ( where my OCD shows up in perfectionistic behavior). I had weight loss surgery and developed a life threatening condition that affects my blood sugars. I was dismissed as being mental and put into psychiatric treatment. I almost died due to hypoglycemia. I had to fight to find a provider who would listen and help me on the road to recovery. 6 years later I am properly diagnosed, have gotten help for my health concerns, and am pursuing a graduate degree in medical malpractice law and Healthcare law and policy. That said- report the foul behavior of bad doctors. Post negative yelp reviews. Tell them that their credentials are MD not GOD. There is no place.for ego in the medical profession. I kept fighting and was finally heard. Don't take it personal if you're discharged from care- if your provider is a jerk- please tell the medical licensing board in your state. It's the only way they're held accountable for their behavior.
@DogMama41 This has also happened to me while I was trying to turn in a rude doctor
@Fullmoon20 There should be protections for patients against retaliation
@DogMama41 Yeah but there isn’t and it’s sad
My therapist isn’t specialized in OCD. I’m her first OCD client. She told me she’s taking courses in ERP and specifically sexual OCD since a lot of my themes are sexual in nature. I want help, I need help. It feels like every time I meet with her I get set back. I make progress a lot on my own. Sitting with discomfort, trying to accept the thoughts and uncertainty. But every single time I meet with her, it feels like I’m explaining OCD to her. She even went as far as to suggest that some of my thoughts that bring me distress are mine. I am not a cheater. They are not mine. Why on earth would they not be intrusive if I was in tears about having this thought? I feel bad. I really do because I can see that even though I can very much see her mistakes, I can also see that she’s trying to help me. I’m just so scared of getting worse. I’ve been in therapy for 5 weeks now. I feel like had it been with a specialist, I would be doing so much better. Instead it takes me days to come backs to whatever progress I’ve made alone after meeting with her. She’s a great person, she tells me she experiences intrusive thoughts too and she doesn’t have OCD which helps me feel less alone but I don’t think that’s enough for me. She’s always available for a call whenever I’m in extreme panic. I just don’t think this is working. I trust her and I tell her everything, but it feels like she’s just listening to me talk the whole time. We’re doing a workbook but she gives me absolutely 0 input. I just read my replies and she just sits there. I don’t understand the point in that. I feel so anxious right now. She wants me to get properly evaluated for anything that may be going on because on top of the severe OCD, I was also diagnosed with PMDD, GAD, and MDD by my primary care doctor but I guess she doesn’t trust those diagnoses? My psychiatrist also told me I have ADHD, which I’ve suspected my whole life but it sounds like my therapist doesn’t know how to handle OCD much less OCD, MDD, GAD, PMDD, and ADHD. She’s questioning the validity of my diagnoses instead of helping me figure out how to deal with all of it. This is so suffocatingly difficult. I’m also a huge people pleaser so how on earth do I end this thing?
I feel like in some ways receiving a diagnosis for OCD has in some ways made things worse. I’ve always had what I called “phases” throughout life, which I now know were ocd episodes, but I didn’t really make too much of them and even if it was over several long difficult months, they’d always seem to kind of just pass. Recently I’ve begun my worse flare up in the last few years and now that I’m older I seemed professional help which led to my diagnosis. This all sounds great of course but I can’t actually afford therapy right now so I kinda just have the diagnosis but not the support so now that I realize these phases are actually this incurable mental illness I just feel like I’ve lost all hope that I’ll ever be happy and I feel like I basically obsess about obsessing at this point and it just sucks. Has anyone else had this or a similar experience?
I don’t know if it’s worth it to keep going. I have so many diagnoses, so little support, and constant struggles with finding the right medication. My immune system is weak, I have multiple deficiencies, and I’m dealing with so many physical health problems on top of severe OCD. It’s just too much. On top of everything, my family treats me so not okay. Every single day is a fight just to keep going—to wake up, to eat, to take care of myself even a little. I’ve lost over ten pounds in the last two weeks from how depressed I’ve been. And instead of support, all I get is blame. My family constantly throws my struggles in my face, calling me selfish, as if I’m choosing this. I am trying so hard to push past all of this. But after five long months of severe OCD, anxiety, depression, panic disorder, and everything else making life unbearable, I am exhausted. And to be called lazy? Selfish? *Worthless*? How am I supposed to keep going when the people around me refuse to see how hard I’m trying? I don’t want this anymore. None of this suffering feels worth it. What am I fighting for just to be treated this way by my own family? To be yelled at for the look on my face, when my face reflects nothing but the stress, panic, and despair I’m drowning in? Am I still supposed to smile for them? This isn’t fair. No one should have to live like this. I don’t deserve to be treated this way, I’m really trying to keep going, but I just want everything to end.
