So, I’m still waiting for a diagnosis and have been for about 3-ish + years now. I’ve done ample research and have talked to many people. I’ve had a couple therapists in that time (long story short, I just wasn’t getting the help I needed) and usually I’ll tell them my symptoms and what I believe is going on with me. My cousin’s wife recently found out that I did that and kinda freaked out. She told me that you never do that, that they won’t take me seriously because of that and will call me a hypochondriac. I’m kinda at a loss with that one. I know she means well, because she’s really one of the only people in my family that take my mental health seriously. I guess what I’m trying to say is, am I wrong for mentioning my research to my therapist and/or psychiatrist? Do they really see it as me over reacting or something like that?
