Feeling Different

953 views

I don't like feeling so different. The world has it's standards about health care. Western meds is what the majoriy believe in. I don't know what I. Believe in I know that my mom believes in eastern meds and alternative meds and healing so I am swayd by that but at the same time I want to be part of the majority. How do I explain to someone that I am being treated holistically while they keep quetioning why I do it I and how I should get a second opinion. Idk why what others think affect me so much. Maybe because I don't hv that many friends that I agree and please people so there is no conflict and I can hv friends? I don't know. Should I get a second opinion? See a western dr. Iv trusted them before with my depression but they didn't help me just made me worse. How's about I just don't get ill anymore and never hv to see a f$#%ifng dr again about my health. I'm so affraid of them and I'm starting not to trust the holistic dr. My life is not what I thought it would be at this age. Every bday since seventeeen I always say " I can't believe I made it this far.". Prety dramatic huh? yea I know doggone pathetic. I'm so insecure. I feel like no one understands me. And I'm too affraid to put myself out there. I'm too different. Idont belong in this world.

cheer up, you're not pathetic at allll. As for the western doctor thing. I think western medicine is the mainstream choice for a reason you know. I've tried both and it seems like there are perks and benefits to both. I think with eastern med there is more of a psychological believing that it works and that 's why it works sometimes. Or maybe it just works. Always difficult to tell. Have you tried probiotics?? I'm not sure if i have celiac for real yet but the doctors say I do have IBS. probiotics have helped my stomach situation a lot. 2nd opinion is always good.

hope things turn around for ya, and i totally know what you mean about being surprised that you have made it this far. I just started to think instead that i'm just lucky to have made it this far and be surrounded by parents who are only trying their best to help me get through this.
