I’m trying not to let the little things stress me. But everything is! Especially going to a new.doctor. I’m happy so that I might be able to get diagnosed with whatever is wrong. Just not looking forward to all the questions, and the doubt in there eyes and tone. It’s stresses me explaining my symptoms because I feel like everyone thinks I’m lying. I need this though. A second opinion. Just hoping for a straight answer this time!
Tiffany, what you are going through is something we all have to deal with which really suck.s It really does. None of us like to feel like we are lying or making up symptoms or trying to get drugs or attention...we all hate it and we all know it from first hand experience what it feel s like to be...calumniated ..a word that gave me a lot of satisfaction when I was trying to get a handle on why it feels so bad when people say bad things about us--or think bad things about us. I read it in a psalm but can't think which one now...but I prayed this one (below) every day to help me get a thicker skin so that I would n';t feel so burned when they gave me the "look or tone"--I don't know if it will help, but I hope you will know that I will be praying for you and that you know you can come here for support even if you have to experience yucky stuff from "out there"
Psalm 120
Longing for peace
To the Lord in the hour of my distress
I call and he answers me.
“O Lord, save my soul from lying lips,
from the tongue of the deceitful.”
What shall he pay you in return
O treacherous tongue?
The warrior’s arrows sharpened
and coals, red-hot blazing.
Alas, that I abide a stranger in Meshech,
dwell among the tents of Kedar!
Long enough have I been dwelling
with those who hate peace.
I am for peace, but when I speak,
they are for fighting.
Thank you janice! I needed that!

Hi Tiffany,
I think Janice as said it all besides a lovely prayer given.
I know it hard but try and keep strong and don't think your walking into an appointment where you won't be took serious...walk in with confidence, knowing what your saying is what your suffering just throw the lot at them and your true feelings, just don't hold nothing back.
