Doctor said something hurtful regarding SH
Friday I went to my doctor to have a burn looked at on my arm because of how painful it was and other things. He looked at it and said it looked ok then asked if I talked to my therapist and psychiatrist and what they said. I told him how they both told me that they were proud of me for how much progress I've made in the past year alone. I told him I had become overwhelmed between my grandfathers death, major menstrual problems, and no sleep I couldn't handle it anymore. His response was "Everyone gets overwhelmed but normal people handle it normally." I sat there and wanted to cry. I didn't self harm right after my grandfather died. When I did it was the first time in about 4 months and I haven't done anything since then. I felt like ****. I couldn't even tell anyone. I don't see my therapist until tomorrow.
The only good thing was I saw the dermatologist yesterday and she looked at it because it was still extremely painful. She looked at it and gave me a new cream and it already feels better. She told me everyone has set backs and my case it was understandable. She said it was a set back and to move on. I told her what my dr said and she looked horrified. She seemed to understand me and encouraged me to move on and not beat myself up and take care of myself. I feel stupid though after what my regular doctor said to me.
