Docters not beliveing me #notbeingbelieved

So I recently made an appointment my better half got off early so they could bring me. It took no less then 5 min for the docter to tell me that oh yeah we are refuring you to a kidney bladder docter forgive me for not saying the correct name. I have Degenerative disc disease which pain was manageable untill the same time I have been having issues with my bladder not emptying and my tail bone hurting like crazy yet,the docter I saw today said oh yeah no thats not my problem. I came here for you to tell me what to do about my back and troubles using the bathroom and all you have to tell me is nope sorry. Please no ill will with what im about to say but why can't we have socialized medicine i would be able to find a docter who knows what the heck there doing. #nohelp #dridiot #ChronicPain

#notbeingbelieved .

Not sure if anyone else had this . I suffer with CPTSD, dissociative disorder ( just the amnesia, absences ) severe anxiety and depression.
I got CPTSD after 15 years of a very very abusive marriage . Through therapy I’ve learnt that when the going gets tough I emotionally shut down so I’m there in body but not necessarily in mind. So I come across quite unemotional and clinical . We think that that was my minds way of coping with the horrors I lived through . But now my mind doesn’t know how to stop it .
This means that if I get emotionally distressed I shut down.
The issue is that I get like this at times when talking to health professionals and the like . It’s not like they have never said they don’t believe me and actually those closest to my care are very aware of it now .
But I get comments of “oh your very self aware etc “
I’m also awaiting Autism testing as my therapist strongly believes I’m on the spectrum.
I think I just grow tired of justifying how tough I find life and because you physically can’t see it always doesn’t mean it’s there .
