Thanks! Tape helps a lot, but my skin is not a fan of it. It itches very bad, and reaching out to scratch (expecially when the itch is on my back) hurts my shoulders, or just the act of scratching hurts my fingers.

This is amazing, I genuinely teared up. Thank you so much, everyone.

A bit of context: I’m AuDHD and non binary and sadly I already have so much medical PTSD, both from physical doctors and from psychiatrists and mental health professionals. Some didn’t listen, some attributed everything to anxiety, from some I suffered actual conversion therapy. I’ve been told so many times by so many doctors that my pain was not real and it was all in my head. I had to diagnose myself with AuDHD because no one ever recognized it, and I found a psychotherapist who has hEDS and suggested I might be hypermobile. I risked ending up in a mental health hospital more than once for stuff I did not have because I wasn’t diagnosed with Autism and ADHD. I also have extreme social anxiety and if I do go to a doctor, I just can’t remember anything about the stuff they ask and afterwards I forget what they tell me, so it ends up being completely useless.

That said, I appreciate all of the answers so much, and I think I will try and look for a doctor who isn’t an idiot and at least knows what transgender means, but first I need to understand more about the syndromes and which ones I have so I don’t get screwed, so if you have resources (even more technical ones) I’d love to look at them.

Thank you thank you thank you. I feel less alone.

Thanks! Yeah it should definitely be easier than going to a doctor, as a first thing :)

I cannot thank you enough. This is so useful, and the ADHD was happy about the commandment phrasing. Please let me know if I can contact you privately, because I have so many questions, and I would love your help with contacting doctors.

I use grayjay but this looks great for finding new stuff to watch and customizability!
