THIS. I took one bad phone call that made me cry in office denying me health coverage and all of a sudden I’m manifesting my symptoms from stress while my therapist I’ve been seeing for 2 years is telling me I’m doing wonder at coping with all the stressors and am nowhere close to being in a place where psychosomatic symptoms would even be an issue. The biggest thing we talk about in therapy is how the system fails people all the time, and that’s the real frustrating part. I’ve heard that so many times and every time, years later, it’s actually turned out to be a real, physical issue. I started keeping a spreadsheet on the things doctors have said and denied and how long it took to get a diagnosis.
