02262020 Counseling Visit Two
I mentioned earlier that I went to see my counselor regarding my feelings about my physical and mental health. Having Dr. G to sit with me and calmly discuss my health has been a blessing. This visit was not much fun. I wasn’t happy with the way my first visit with Dr. O went. I explained what the Cornea specialist and Gastroenterologist had asked about the thyroid. He explained to me the significance of those two doctors asking, coupled with the low thyroid in the lab results warranted a visit to Dr. O again. I was not excited to hear that. But again, Dr. G reminded me that the physical health problems I have are real. While it completely stinks that some physicians see my mental illness and overlook my physical illness; I am my own best advocate and I must advocate for myself. So, I scheduled the appointment.
