Surgery changed nothing

It's been a year and a half. My surgeon told me it was a success and now I have a super straight septum but I don't notice any difference in breathing. I'm still dependent on using nasal spray every day to not wake up with a dry painful mouth. I started recorded myself and I notice that I snore daily too (not too loud)

Nothing has worked in 6 years and it's time to give up

I have tried every ADHD medication available in my country in different doses. I felt nothing. Not better, not worse. Then I also tried plenty of psychiatric medications like lamotrigine, antipsychotics, antidepressants, clonazepam. Nothing has worked. In fact it often caused worse problems. I've had plenty of tests done including MRIs, blood tests, EEGs.

I've heard pretty much every advice there is. I'm tired and there is nothing to be done anymore. I guess I'm just going to live suffering for the rest of my life.

Birth control pills is the only thing that stops my bleeding, but I was told I shouldn't take it

A gynecologist told me that I can't take birth control pills for the rest of my life, that it's going to give me side effects, it's bad for you, bla bla. I told her I have little no options because I already tried IUDs (they got expelled, probably because I have a lot of blood flowing 😡), I was tested and I don't have fibroids, or any condition to treat. She said I need to try a gluten free diet to reduce the bleeding. To which I responded I already tried it. She said if I had done it correctly I should have seen improvement. Excuse me, wtf.

Why do doctors never believe anything I say? Why are they so disrespectful? She provided No alternatives except this supposed diet, which I already tried and didn't work.

Over 20 sessions of IPL and my armpit hair still looks like this two days after shaving

Tried both at a salon and with a home device. I've been tested multiple times and I don't have a hormone imbalance. My testosterone is not even close to high. I don't know what's wrong.

To be fair, it doesn't grow long as it used to so there was some effect. Anyone else feel like a genetic freak? 🤔

How to deal with people who dismiss my experience of not enjoying the gym?

I tried to tell someone online that not everyone enjoys going to the gym, becomes addicted to it or feels bad for not going after a while. I'm not saying this doesn't happen, I'm saying it's not a universal experience. And if were that easy, everyone would be fit

The response was that I must not have met enough people, implying that most get addicted to it, telling me that I must have not tried long enough, that once you get into it you WILL love it you will go crazy if you miss a day, etc.

Why is it that so many people cannot believe the experience of another person? Why? Can anyone explain? I don't know what to say anymore, it's like they won't listen. And I've been dismissed previously by professionals, by friends by everyone.

Am I really this insane? How can I be believed?

Es normal que me estén obligando a tomar clonazepam por años?

Ya llevó tomando clonazepam a diario por tres años. Originalmente me lo recetaron para dormir mejor porque la sertralina, otra droga, me causaba pesadillas. Me dieron 2 mg todas las noches. Solo por eso. Incluso después de dejar la sertralina, siguieron dándome esa misma dosis por años. Sin justificación desde mi punto de vista ya que nunca tuve ansiedad y sólo me lo dieron por el efecto secundario de otra droga.

Ahora estoy tomando sólo 0,5 mg por noche, pero nunca puedo realmente dejar de tomar esta cosa porquw cada vez que lo intento me sube la ansiedad. Y no es algo que yo tuviese originalmente!! Sino que estoy segura que es efecto de cortar esta droga de repente.

No sé cómo bajar de a poco si sólo me dan pastillas y es difícil manejar las dosis. Si pudieran darme gotas y un plan para bajar eso sería lo mejor. Pero mi psiquiatra no me deja, me insiste con que siga tomando.

No sé qué hacer. Siento que me obligaron a desarrollar una adicción física a esta cosa. no me animo ni a ir a consultar a un hospital , tengo miedo de que no me den pelota y me traten mal. Casi siempre me miran feo y me insultan porque no tengo derecho a opinar al no ser médica

Es normal esto? Hay algún lugar del país en el que me vayan a tomar en serio y me ayudan a dejar el Clonazepam?

Para que quede claro, no puedo simplemente dejar de tomarlo yo por mi cuenta, NECESITO que alguien me receta dosis más bajas y bajar de a poco porque si no me da abstinencia

I'm from a third world country and I suspect something's wrong. I was prescribed 2 mg of clonazepam daily for two years purely because I had nightmares as a side effect of sertraline. Even after stopping sertraline, the new doctor I saw insisted that I should remain on clonazepam. I tried to quit one time but had a strong withdrawal effect, and went back to it, this time only 0.5 mg per day. My psychiatrist insists that I should not stop taking it because I'm not healed enough in the process. But she's been saying this for a long time already.

She even suggests that I take a bigger dose on days in which I feel sad or irritable. I can't even feel any effects from the medication.

Whenever I try to argue against a prescription, she tells me I'm being uncooperative and I'm not going to get better. That I'm not a doctor and I shouldn't be acting like one. My friend tells me the same. I feel like I'm just being bullied and coerced into taking medication and I don't even understand what's the logical reazon to keep me on benzos. ??? I also never even had severe anxiety.
