[QUOTE="mentat, post: 1459629, member: 86670"] Yes, I've seen two psychologists, a psychiatrist, a neurologist, and I see a good endo regularly. Unfortunately I have always gone to appointments optimistic and cheerful, and I think this has contributed to my not being taken seriously. In addition I have struggled to put into words what happens during and after these "seizures" (or whatever they are) and have a hard time remembering what it feels like. A number of times I have made notes and brought them to appointments but I never get a chance to refer to them; it feels as if mental health professionals believe they will find the "real truth" by asking me an endless stream of probing questions and that anything I have written down is going to be too coloured by my perspective to be of any value. This is indeed no way to live; I have been unable to work or maintain healthy relationships with anyone for the last 4 years and have never understood why. (Thankfully my family and fiancee are still doing their best to support me but those relationships have been not healthy at all.) [/QUOTE]
