I know I'm posting again but I'm worried about my eyes

It must have taken a lot of courage to do that, Chlobo.

Think of it this way: today is the day you start to get better.

Well done.

Hey.
My doctor is very concerned about my mental health, I told him everything, including the cutting situation. He has referred me to a psychologist and is going to see me in person on Friday.
He wasn't really concerned about my symptoms physically but he said my mental health is a serious problem right now and something needs to be done because the health anxiety is out of control

Phew - very glad you did this call and told all, its been escalated now to someone who can do better assessements and put in place more help.

That was so brave of you - congratulations!

We've got you!

That was so brave of you - congratulations!



We've got you!

Thank you.
I'm shocked he isn't worried about my physical issues though. I'm scared, really scared. This time I feel like it's real and I'm going to need a brain and spine mri and I can't take it. I'm panicking and focusing on my bowels all the time and the feeling in my bottom. I really do feel like it's real

I'm still so frightened. I'm so scared I'll go to the doctor and he will want me to do an MRI or something. The fear is overpowering me

Thanks, it doesn't feel that way right now. I'm scared and panicked

You're doing okay - the psych will help you with this stuff.

We aren't, he recognises them for what they are. He's a Doctor, he knows true symptoms and realities of presentations of physical problems, you don't.

This time I feel like it's real and I'm going to need a brain and spine mri and I can't take it.

I've been to the depths you are now, you are certain and won't believe anybody that you aren't dying. You will look back on this and realise you were wrong, once you are mentally better, but you won't believe me about that either right now . I lay on a bed for days certain I was at the moment of death, 'feeling' every symptoms of a brain tumour in my 20s (inluding inability to move my left side, left eye pain/smaller/closed eye, headache,breathing problems blah blah), it was totally real to me - they were all missing diagnosing me and letting me die.

Clearly, some 30 plus later........they were proved right LOL You will be wrong also.

The important part is that you are seeing a psychologist.

Good on you for calling and if you need reassurance, take solace that your doctor said the exact same thing that everyone here has been saying and seeing for months and help is on the way.

Well done for taking such a brave step Chlobo.
Like others have said, your doctor isn't worried about your physical issues, and you should believe him. He's even going to help to reassure you that everything is ok by seeing you face to face and checking everything for you on Friday. That sounds like a great doctor to be honest!
