Where's my diagnosis?

Posted by Shy_Girl on April 2, 2005, at 22:17:58

Hi all :)
I was just wondering whether or not pdocs are required to diagnose their patients. If so, why was I never given/told a diagnosis? Is this because there isn't really anything the matter with me? Is everything just in my head? Am I making up symptoms unconciously because I've been reading too much about mental illnesses?? For example: Yesterday and most of today I spent sleeping or lying down on the sofa because I felt like I didn't have energy or the will to move/live. Then, a few hours ago my mom came home and I was forced to get up. Now I'm full of energy and want to study and think that anything is possible. Am I just lazy? But why would I choose to be so depressed when I'm alone and no one can see me?
This is too confusing...it is difficult to diagnose oneself when one doesn't have experience in terms of observing symptoms in other people. How the heck did any of you get a clear diagnosis? My pdoc refuses to label me, but does she really do this? Maybe she already has labelled me in her notes?? Can I ask to see her notes?
Arrgh, just want to get a clear idea of my situation.
