This has been the roughest week. Why is it that doctors never listen to you and they think they know what is best for you? When will they learn to listen to their patients? I expressed concerns about the medication making me gain weight and instead of her rather changing my medication or getting me on a appetite suppressant she completely disregard my concern. That is the best way to make someone give up on there self. I am trying to advocate for myself and what I need to stay on the right path of self care but it never works.
If you are a provider listen to your patient, it helps to create a supportive relationship and trust with your patients.
It almost feel like Im back in the Army with providers who just want me to suck it up and keep going with the mission. But thats the problem, we have to deal with our issues. My weight issues is deeper then just a normal concern due to my military background, but self worth, and self value. Its a depiction of how I am not myself and I have stop taking care of myself.
Anyways, I did perform a miracle! My kids cleaned up the house, I know thats crazy right? Kids cleaning, now let me start off by saying one child required me to be on top of her ever step of the way and the other 2 just did what they are suppose to. But the outcome was great. I was able to get somethings done without stressing out.
