I have a very frustrating thing. I am in a hospital - not allopathic, but alternative medicine. And I want to get some medicine which are supposed to be very harmless for making me more happy.
And I have tried to explain this to many doctors here who just won't believe I have any issues with mental health. They just laugh as if I am saying a joke. Primarily I am here for my rheumatoid arthritis, but I thought if they have some treatment for making me more happy and cheerful, I can try that also, but nobody is believing I am depressed.
It has been an issue for me always. Even my first T refused to believe I was depressed for quite a long time. And my second T also dimssed me for quite some time. I suppose I smile a lot when I talk, and look cheerful, so I can't get to convince people of my issues. When I tell them I have terrifying nightmares, they just don't believe.
Any ideas? Maybe I should go and beat up people or act crazy to make people believe I am suffering :-)
