    Only ever left a doctor’s appointment mid-appointment once. The doctor said he doesn’t believe some of my medical conditions don’t exist and I wasn’t dealing with that shit

      Idk, running from unpleasant truths isn’t great either, so be careful that you’re not just shopping for a convenient diagnosis and instead looking for the truth. A second or third opinion is absolutely a good idea if you think your doctor is missing something (esp. if they refuse to run a test you think is necessary). Just remember that this goes both ways, so that doctor that tells you what you want to hear could be missing what the others have seen.

      In other words, don’t mistake hubris for confidence.

        There’s literally one extra word they put in there. Remove the “don’t” and it’ll be fine.

      I wish I’d been able to do that. But she was still writing the script for my stimulants (continuation of care) so I just let her rant about adhd not being real because if I left I would’ve lost my job
