[quote=Anonymous]Thank you for posting this OP.  I struggle greatly with this.  I have a chronic condition which causes all sorts of weird symptoms and seems to be able to affect basically every system in my body (fun times).  Every time something new crops up it is appt after appt to rule out all sorts of scary stuff, and then everyone just scratches their heads in the end.  I WOHM full time, and all I can say is that it is a good thing my job is flexible and that my boss does not work out of this office.

Because of my physical problems, my emotional well being has taken a huge hit.  I'm constantly anxious about missing something awful because my threshold for pain is so high.  I distrust doctors because I had so many BS diagnoses for years before someone thought to give me an MRI, where there was an obvious huge problem that lined up exactly with my symptoms.  I have chronic health anxiety for sure, but the problem is that I simply cannot miss more work to go get therapy.  My PCP will put me on drugs no problem, but I feel like I don't want to go there without talking to an actual therapist.

Anyway, sometimes I feel pretty alone because I work with mostly young people who have zero health problems.  Feels good to anonymously connect with others and to vent. :).  [/quote]
