Got a clinician report for a two-week wait (now a five week wait due to lack of medical supplies). On it, under medical history it mentions depression and panic attacks. How do I get these removed? I was 'sad' at a routine appointment for my baby - my mum had just died suddenly that week. I was meant to be going out with her after the appointment. Isn't it normal to be sad?
Panic attack was a misdiagnosis for long covid. I thought I was recovered from a very manageable covid infection, had gone away for a weekend a week or so later with friends, felt fine apart from sudden onset of breathlessness every time I went up an incline. I came over very shaky, with chest and stomach pains on the way home, between station stops and crumpled on the platform. At doctor the next day, they couldn't find anything wrong and said it's likely a panic attack. I questioned it and said I'd had a lovely weekend and was also looking forward to seeing my family when got home. This started a looped conversation where they said I might have been unaware I was anxious etc etc. There's nothing since to say that panic attack was a misdiagnosis!
If I ask for these to be removed, will that be put down as more 'denial' by me? I am sad now that my life is so very limited due to long covid, sad of how my family's life is affected by my illness, but bloody delighted on the days when I can do things. I'm not not doing things because I'm sad, I'm sad when I have to keep saying no to things I loved doing because I no longer can. Again, isn't this normal?
