In reply to What in a diagnoses?, posted by Kyn on October 9, 2009, at 16:53:35
Hi Kyn, That must be hard to adjust to, suddenly being faced with so many diagnoses. It kind of sounds like your husband wants you to think you are sick and helpless to control you. I very much doubt you have all those diagnoses if all you've had is one panic attack. Most people have at least one panic attack in their lives, it doesn't even mean they have an anxiety disorder. It is very commom to have a panic attack.
Usually doctors don't just go by what other people say about a patient to make a diagnosis. Usually they would examine the patient themselves before coming to any conclusions.
Is there anyone who can help you be more independent? Any way you can get a job? Even a part-time job would let you save up some money. It sounds like you are having a hard time having to deal with such a controlling husband.
I would tell the doctors about your husband's behaviour and I would guess the doctors would then take his comments with a huge grain of salt. Tell them how much your husband controls you.
I'm sorry you have to deal with this situation. I hope you find a solution. Post back and update us of your situation.
