The latest revelation - I SAW THIS WHEN i was visiting my cardiologist last week.I was feeling down late week because I had to set boundaries with my estranged siblings and that is not an easy task. So I walk in feeling sad and my doctor starts asking why I had to go into emergency and access psychiatry back in Nov. Well talking about the baby being taken into custody was not easy and I got tearful. I am a highly sensitive empath.
My doctor then jumped the gun and told me that she thinks I am depressed and need more therapy. She told me that I should be on meds and then I spent an hour talking to her social worker cause she didn;t want the baby taken away because she thought I was depressed.
THAT IS NOT THE CASE. I'm rather upset with her and I am getting tired of the bs now. I just jumped through a bunch of hoops and was told there is no clinical depression what so ever and now child welfare has no concerns about me.
I am getting tired of dealing with ignorant, narrow minded individuals who make assumptions and jump the gun. I'm at the point where I am saying that I am a space alien parading around as a human. So now I am at the point when I start dealing with the professionals - right off the bat I mention that I am highly sensitive.
I can't help who I am and I have feelings and have to live with them. I'm getting sick of dealing with the prejudice out there and because of that my baby fell victim.....I'm starting to see the pattern now.
Thank you for listening......
After talking to the social worker for an hour - this part is highly enlightening. She recognized that my high sensitivty is a gift and she had said that I was the type who needed alone time 20 minutes a day to re-energize and I told her yup. At least I was understood and not sent down to emergency to get an assessment done! YAY
