[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I ask how she's been dismissive of your issues? Can you give an example?

Perhaps she hasn't been dismissive but you haven't liked the way she communicates care?

Also, are you equal in listening to her as she listens to you?

I think boundaries are fine but I want to know the whole story first. [/quote]

I’ve had some health issues, some of which correlate to my ethnicity (more common, can be confirmed by genetic testing). She has stated in the past that “your race doesn’t matter!” in getting a diagnosis… and it really does. It’s a disease that anyone can have but is more common in people with my ethnic background. She has also made snide comments in that past about others with certain mental health issues. She doesn’t know that I struggle with one of those issues.

The reason I told her “I’m just not feeling great” is because she wants to call and text daily and tell me about her life. I’m at capacity right now. That’s when she said “well what’s wrong with you?” So I told her, it’s some medical stuff and emotional things I’m working through. [/quote]
