I’m not refusing care. I’m refusing to collapse into “it’s just anxiety.” скачать в хорошем качестве

I’m not refusing care. I’m refusing to collapse into “it’s just anxiety.”

For ten years, doctors told me I was having panic attacks. A year and a half ago, I needed heart surgery. Now, when my therapist suggests medical treatment for anxiety, I have a very specific fear: what if they’re wrong again? In this video, I talk about: Medical misdiagnosis and its psychological impact How diagnostic language shapes self-trust Hypervigilance and nervous system dysregulation Sleep deprivation and anxiety Institutional fear after medical dismissal Why trust is not binary The difference between refusing care and refusing erasure This is my lived experience navigating anxiety after a confirmed heart condition. This video is not medical advice. It is a personal reflection on misdiagnosis, medical trauma, and learning to listen to my body again. If you’ve ever been told “it’s just anxiety,” I’d be interested in hearing how that shaped your experience. 00:00 – They Told Me It Was Panic Attacks 01:30 – When Anxiety Becomes Rational 04:30 – The Power of Diagnostic Language 06:40 – Two Months Without Sleep 10:30 – Coping Isn’t Always Enough 14:00 – Why Hospitals Now Terrify Me 17:00 – Trust Is Not Binary 18:30 – Refusing Erasure #MedicalMisdiagnosis #AnxietyRecovery #HeartCondition #MedicalTrauma #TrustYourBody
