I have had unbelievavly bad experiences with therapists in trying to get my family to trust me and accept the condition, and help. Every single one led me to believe they would assist with this, and then the moment my family was in the room, they'd reveal that they agrreed with the family's dismissive attitude. Every time. This destroyed my credibility, any chance of my ever being taken seriously by them as long as I live, and once I finally figured out a way to escape from that household, I severed all ties. I have no family now.

That sounds like me. My mum fed doctors false information, so I looked like I was just being a child when I complained, obviously that crap must've been written in my medical history, why else would I be called insane and sent to a psychologist? This crap has destroyed my life...centrelink has stopped my pension, which also means I get no bonus on monday, my electric wheelchair's been reclaimed, my rent will hit $194 per week and I have 3 bills to pay! I'm living off my pet's emergency vet fund...BLOODY HELL! Kill me, please!

You're not the only one to have this happen. I had a doc tell me that because all my tests came back normal, I had nothing wrong with me and I should go see a psychaitrist.  I promptly told her to go fuck herself, and found another doctor! Don't believe it sweetheart - - pain is your body's way of telling you "Hey! Something's wrong with me!" All of us here have been fighting for a long time, some of us for years! :signs002 We are here for you if you want to vent or scream or cry.

That's horrible. Through a bizarre series of circumstances, because my real condition seems unproveable, and after my parents used my vulnerable position to threaten me with psychiatric action against me, eventually I managed to get onto Disability (under protest) on psychiatric grounds, because I claimed to have a condition that I do have. Ironically, a psychiatric diagnosis does not have to be proven! All that takes is a subjective opinion on the part of a typical, superior-minded, prejudiced psychiatrist. I don't know quite what the environment is like where they train these people, but it must beat the humility and humanity right out of them. I did get through a short book decades ago that says something about this training, and what it does to trainees, by a doctor. This is something I hate talking about. It's very personal, but it seemed important to say it.
