    DeJana,

    I think you know your answer based off your feelings around him vs others. He sounds really controlling and ridged, something I can relate to. Brought up being told I’m worthless and stupid doesn’t help. I’m an empath, highly sensitive to others energy and words, it affects me greatly. I just recognized this same type of treatment THIS YEAR after 27yrs together. Passive aggressive, never do things right, questions what I do, which all in turn brings me back to feeling worthless. He too is a hoarder with Adhd. I wonder if your partner has the same? They have to have things just as they want and cannot finish tasks etc (both sides of my home and garage are FILLED with junk He can’t let go or finish projects. Perhaps you two could consider couples counseling as it sounds like you two do have a loving relationship amongst other positive bonding traits. Or listen to your gut. If you’re feeling rejuvenation with others but resentment, upset at home, perhaps you’re done. I hope this helps some, you’re not alone. Feel free to msg at any time. Hugs.

    Hi Dee, nice to “meet” you : ).  You are not crazy AT ALL! YOU ARE DOING EVERYTHING PERFECTLY !!! Your self advocacy skills are beyond impressive, no easy feat. I went thru almost the identical experience re: stomach aches galore, ER visits, neurology, ultrasounds, you name it. They couldn’t find anything, so frustrating! They prescribed me Dicyclomine (bentyl) which is for stomach cramps, esp IBS. That med is saving me while I too await a dr’s visit after covid hopefully slows down. One idea…can you go to an urgent care facility vs ER? I think ER is the most expensive. At a minimum perhaps you can go and ask for a prescription of bentyl? It’s not a controlled substance or intense med at all so I wouldn’t see why they couldn’t give that to you knowing you are looking for a dr now. (fyi, I don’t know many rules here so admin, users, please accept my apologies if I’m not to mention medications.) Did they do a cbc? If you are anemic they should look at your thyroid and B12. Not enough b12(it is AMAZING at HOW MUCH too little this vitamin affects us!) If vitamin B low, that could explain the anemia and hence warrant more testing as that can be related to autoimmune diseases.  I would also get a pelvic ultrasound to see if it’s something gynocologic. And it could end up being IBS which was my case. I know your pain. I don’t know what’s worse: physical vs emotional bc emotionally its so distressing to be undiagnosed! Oh and I always tell them I’m not crazy. Because they can see from my medical history my mental health ailments and when 90% see that, they assume gastro issues are ONLY related to ones mental health issues. I’m sorry for all you are going thru and hope that you are able to find relief soon. Heated blanket, med discussed above, and peppermint oil around my belly button are the three things that have greatly helped me. Hang in there! xo
