I dont think it is that no one believes you I think it is that people dont necessarily know what to do to help you. We all need different things, one perosn may need major space and another may need to be with people when they are upset.
have you tried saying to your pdoc "I need this when I am upset?" or "what is available for me when...?" Maybe think up some ideas that you know help you feel better and brainstorm with your pdoc about how to put them into practice when you are feeling desparate.
The problem is that when it comes down to it we have to fight for ourselves. I learned pretty young that if you want something or NEED something emotionally YOU have to supply it yourself.
the doctors and Ts out there are not in it 100% for their patients, they cant be....it would drain the life out of them if they were.
Have you used crisis lines? Maybe that would be an approach. trying to 'show' someone or prove to someone how upset you are only hurts you in the end not them.
I know its hard, and I know you are opposed to this idea but would you consider hospital? Or day program? It could suprise you and be the best thing. I think I read somewhere that you live near a really good hospital. Maybe?
take care,
