The doctor that diagnosed this, was on Tuesday, so less than a week ago, although I recognised it as this before this “official” diagnosis. She was a gynaecologist, so I assumed she would have known how to address this. But she gave no information on how to address this issue emotionally. Having read that this condition can be psychological, how can a doctor diagnose this without considering the psychological issues?!
I have felt kind of angry about this, I suppose this is one reason why I am writing in this forum, to vent, and release my anger, to people who might understand what is happening, and help explain it to me!
I have spoken to my mum about it, and she suggested going to a different doctor and asking them about it. Also, she has given me details of a local psychosexual therapist, (which also provides lots of other support for mental health etc) and having read lots of things online, have thought about possibly giving that a try.
I have been struggling within myself for months, and am questioning to myself if I am struggling because of this, or this is just an outcome of me struggling. It’s like a vicious circle, the more stressed I get, the more anxious I become, which makes me more stressed.
Thank you for replying, I was nervous that it might get lost or skimmed over.
