“Do NOT misdiagnose me with anxiety when I am upset with you over the mishandling of my medical care.”
She had just patronizingly begun saying “I can see you have a lot of anxiety over this,” because she could hear in my voice that I was upset at her disrupting my current pain management meds for my autoimmune disease because the pain meds also help w/kidney stone pain.
