I want to lay it all out for my doctor

So to start off. I’m not a fan of hospitals. I only starting reporting in to doctors at the age of 19. Prior to that, my parents were our ‘doctors’ regardless of whatever happened. I’m 25 now and after speaking to other women, some who are ‘normal’, some who experienced similar things, I realised that a lot of what’s happening to me needs more looking into.

My mental health: I’ve seen two therapist on the NHS after waiting 6 months for each. The first one finally contacted me but i was overseas during the pandemic so he dropped me. The second was experiencing issues of her own and ended up resigning, she was a trainee but she hinted at me struggling with anxiety

My body: I am always tired, dehydrated, my weight gain is out of control. The only other thing I can think of is to eat once a day which doesn’t help with my energy levels. I have PCOS so I’m sure it’s just a hormonal imbalance, nothing serious. I’m losing focus, my memory is becoming do bad

It’s deeper then what I’ve mentioned above but I think it might be inappropriate and triggering to some people if I share too much but my main question is how do I share all my concerns with doctor without them judging me. I feel like they’re going to judge me and think I’m trying to be a doctor when I’m not. I’ve been taking mental notes of everything that’s been going on with myself since the age of 19 when I realised i needed to be more aware. I don’t have answers but I have an idea of what my body is going through

How should I communicate this ?
