"Your labs look great!"
(I hold back a sigh)
"You should exercise more though."
(I sigh loudly pointing at my diagnoses)
"And you should lose some weight!"

"And also, we think you might be imagining your symptoms."

When i got diagnosed with adhd a few years ago, the psychiatrist wasn't willing to prescribe me meds until i'd lost weight, because, despite the fact that i'm tall and lanky, my BMI at the time was a bit higher than 30. The fact that i had/have CFS apparently wasn't relevant.
i 100% just cry but can keep my voice totally even if i really focus on it. very hard for them to call me hysterical when i continue in an even tone. "yeah i cry when i'm ANGRY i'm being gaslit, continue please" 😂
so real. like it took me forever to be able to drag myself into your open office hours, can you at least not shoo me back out without at least pretending to believe me at least 10%?
