health anxiety

[carer1]

got cheated by a health professional so I reported them to the Authorities, now it seems they have put a word out to all the others in their field so I can't get help anywhere. the kind of health thing needed regularly. when I tried I was left suffering. my anxiety is through the roof at the thought of it all  cant afford to have it all done privately , though they know about it too.

Hi carer1, Thanks for sharing your situation. I'm sorry to hear you are suffering. The main thing here is that you don't give up seeking the help you need. I recognise how hard it can be trying to advocate for oneself when you are unwell. I try to have a mental plan when meeting with health professionals otherwise I tend to ramble on and either leave things unsaid or don't express the severity of my symptoms. Sometimes seeing a new health professional can be a bit hit and miss but there are kind people out there so don't give up. Try to manage your expectations and try not to let it bother you if you meet with someone who is less than receptive. Medical professionals are people after all. I would be interested to hear how you are getting along and wish you all the best with your search for support. Keep moving on and don't give up. Regards, David.
