Why don't people believe me?

Friday, September 3rd 2010

I saw the doctor today.  He insists my disability was approved because I am bipolar and not because there's anything wrong with my back.  He showed me my Med-1 from Social Services where he wrote that I have a "severe mental disorder."  I accept that.  I'm living with it.  But that does not mean my physical pain and ailments do not exist.  Next time I have an appointment with him, I've half a mind to bring him a slew of MRI, EMG, and ultrasound reports to PROVE I have other issues and they are not all in my head.  (I am aware some of my issues are in my head - anxiety, depression, etc.  But I am not psycho or stupid.)

I was so upset after that appojntment that I came home nearly in tearsw and went back to bed.  That's my way of coping, my "do over."
