Please stop diagnosing me, Dr, I beg you

Rant

A few weeks ago I had a major health scare that luckily ended up being minor but could have easily killed me.

I have 4 Drs appointments this week. I went in today for a physical my work needs for insurance paperwork only to walk out with 2 more potential diagnoseses, 2 shots, and 2 follow up appointments after I get tested.

The DR looked in my ears and told me I'm congested and I didn't even notice because i drown out most of my body because of fibromyalgia pain. It's so low stakes and the thought of taking another medication for something so minor when I'm already on 5 or 6 medications is too much. I'll just live with the congestion.

I have a stomach problem they're trying to diagnose and the number of foods I can eat in the meantime is slim and I just got groceries yesterday and I'm not supposed to eat any of it TvT (I'm going to though because I don't want to waste it and then after that I will)

On top of it I recently got an OCD diagnosis and part of how my OCD manifest is it convinces myself I'm making up all my health problems despite them all having been diagnosed by a professional.

Anyway. I just wanna complain. Otherwise I'm doing well especially now that I know most of my self doubt is the OCD.

And I didn't die so 🙏

It'll be okay.
