Thoughts with you, everyone has bad days, but do not be afraid to ask for help. Just talking to a therapist about your feeling and frustrations can help.

I would also consider finding a new doctor, if my doctor explained everything as age and was dismissive, I would be looking for someone with more empathy.

I was interviewed recently my a medical student about aging for a class assignment. I told him I miss my recently retired primary doctor because being closer to my age and having parents who are aging, he had better appreciation of issues as we aged. I am glad that Mayo Medical School is exposing new students to the issues seniors have with aging by having them interview seniors. I meet with student multi time a year on different subjects.
