Anxiety sufferers have a voice too

[Amanda 1956]

Some years ago I got ripped off my a scam of a dentist who overcharged me but did not do the job efficiently. I took my complaint to the Dental Board and was told that due to my anxiety no further action would be taken against him.

Since when has a dentist have the right to discuss my anxiety .I always thought it was a psychiatrist who is allowed to discuss such things.

We anxiety sufferers have a voice and if we lodge a complaint about dodgy work we have the right to be taken seriously like everyone else. Am I being precious or have others been denied legal channels due to their illness.?

Hi Amanda, welcome

You are not being precious. But it's a dodgy world.

My therapist in 1987 told me I'm a black and white buy living in a grey world.

Meaning this world is tainted, crooked and not straight. To survu e in it SAS need to do a few things

Allow for the fact that people will use information to "win" in any situation.

Let go of issues that you have no control over to get on with your life.

By all means do your best but don't hang onto it

Learn not to disclose mental illness. Its a private matter between you and your doctor. Go on a need to know basis.
