i could handle the whining if he wasn't such an ass about it

[Health] Urgh I got a frustrating message back from my doctor's office.

pain golem
Basically got told "lab results are consistent with fibro go to the workshop also I already referred you to a rheumetologist"
pain golem
"I can send records somewhere else if you want but we basically can't do anything but increase dosage".
pain golem
fucking wonderful
pain golem
he also told me to go to this stupid fucking fibro workshop
pain golem
yes because a workshop is a great place for me to go when I panic at anything official and workshop-y
pain golem
I can't fucking focus for more than like ten minutes unless I'm playing a simulation game or something
pain golem
... to be fair he was more polite than I was even though I restrained myself from swearing.
pain golem
I don't think a workshop will do jack shit for me but I'll do it so I'm ~following doctor's orders~ and they don't start just refusing things because I'm ~noncompliant~.

are you taking anything for depression or anxiety? You shouldn't be behaving like that. going to the workshop may help you learn some coping skills instead of complaining.
pain golem
... 'Scuse me?
pain golem
I'm doing the best I can.
pain golem
I'm allowed to vent, it's my plurk. And I've been trying to work on coping skills with therapists and it's not working.
pain golem
I'm really not sure what this workshop can teach me other than things I've already researched on my own.

wow what the

that is not even remotely appropriate to say to Matt.

I have to agree here. How is shaming someone supposed to help here?

Yeah, seriously, what the hell

That is really not okay. Honestly you should be ashamed of even saying something like that to some one who has been dealing with a myriad of health problems for ages now. The doctors aren't giving
RᴇᴠᴇɴɢᴇᴏғNᴏᴏᴛ
any answers, Matt has every right to complain and being upset.
RᴇᴠᴇɴɢᴇᴏғNᴏᴏᴛ
*be upset
RᴇᴠᴇɴɢᴇᴏғNᴏᴏᴛ
That's so ridiculously callous, I can't even believe I read something like that.
RᴇᴠᴇɴɢᴇᴏғNᴏᴏᴛ
Matt, if you can't handle workshops that's fine, some people just can't. If anything you could ask your doctor if there's any sort of one-on-one counseling for chronic disorders available.
RᴇᴠᴇɴɢᴇᴏғNᴏᴏᴛ
Because forcing you to go to something where you're just going to be uncomfortable isn't helping at all.
