Why Won’t They Tell Me What Is Wrong With Me?
Question by ags3y7: Why won’t they tell me what is wrong with me?
For the last three months I have had bad anxiety, strange ideas about aliens or supernatural beings, wierd sensations like seeing monster heads on people, hearing buzzing noises. I see patterns everywhere, faces inserted into innocent objects that look at me, monitor me. I get the idea occasionally that people are influnced by these things to torment me.
I’ve been to see doctors, psychologists and others trying to get treatment. I’ve been put on antidepressants for anxiety and I’m getting counselling. But no-one tells me what is wrong with me. All I am told is that I’m “sensitive”, “vulnerable to stress”, “having some psychotic symptoms”. The closest thing to a diagnosis I have had is “psychotic anxiety” but I can’t find any description of that…
I get the feeling they are not telling me something. Why won’t they give me a diagnosis, even though I have demanded more information many times?
Obviously I am worried about schizophrenia being the diagnosis. But what I am asking about is why they are so evasive, rather than saying something like: “we need to do more tests”. I’m interested in the RH factor problem Benice mentions – I did have this as a newborn, so bad I was expected to die. How would that cause later issues?
