So in November I mafe an application for my medical notes, and got it countersigned by a responsible adult. I once caught sight of some of what had bern written by the psychiatrist who saw me at a child guidance clinic when I was 7-10. I want to know if rhere had ever been any formal diagnosis other than the rather ominous sounding speculations about my possibly being prespychotic. This was rhe late 1960'sby the way.
My GP also saw me regularly when I was in my early teens, dealing with my various anxieties.
I have lived abroad since the late 90's. Someone told me I might expect a response, it at all, after ine months or so.
I just didn't like the secrets, some sense that something unpleasant was being kept from me, and being made to feel made to feel like a hpochondriac whenever I visited that GP surgery afterwards. Sturdy common sense would win the day. But I still got it in the neck at uni for being seen as uptight, weird, lack of eye contact, bla bla, all the same.
But having said all that, I am not sure I want a diagnosis anyway, I don't want any stigma, to feel less than. But bot fo be told something like that leaves a big sense of unfiinshed business too. I've found that some social and polifical groups are easier to negotiate than others. Those over protective of their national identity anywhere - forget it. Those with nice prissy upbringings full of hidden dos and donts, not great either. It's not always, all about neurologies or deficits or pluses thereof.
