Imagining disorders

I'm seeing a therapist and he made me take 3 "personality disorder" tests. First of all, that's a huge mistake to do to someone who already suffers from Generalized Anxiety. I basically assume I have all the problems listed even if they don't show up in the results. I really think this doctor is putting a lot of unneeded information in my head. At first, he thought I was paranoid and wanted to put me on anti-psychotics then the next day, he completely forgot about that and told me i was highly depressed and anxious and wanted to dope me up on antidepressants. You can only imagine how this has sent my head spinning. Up until my last visit, i was perfectly fine without any anxiety. However, when I went to see him, he told me he thinks i have Social Anxiety Disorder. Now when I go out, I assume the role of a socially anxious person and basically trick myself into playing these disorders. Before he told me I had SAD, I didn't get anxious in front of people and I didn't give it a second thought....now i'm a bundle of nerves. If I went in there tommorow and he told me I was schizophrenic, I'd probobly belive him and i'd start to make myself hear voices. Needless to say, i'm not going back. What is wrong with me?! I don't know if I'm in denial and the fact is true that i have all these disorders. The ironic thing is that i scored low on the 'hypocondria' section however, I can't even read about mental disorders or I start to belive i have them....no matter how insane they are.

Re: Imagining disorders

you are obviously very suggestable re illnesses, you dont really get an illness just from reading or hearing about it

Re: Imagining disorders

awww...i am so sorry that you had to go through this...do not go back to that doctor...he obviously doesnt know that much about people with anxiety....find a new doctor because there is one out there who can help you and who understands what you are going through....try to forget about what this doctor said to you and go see another one...keep looking for a doctor until you find one that helps you...good luck and hang in there

jess
