ACT 3. INTO THE FUCKING HARBOR #THOSE WAVE BITCHES WILL PUT IN A WORD FOR ME WITH THE SEA QUEEN FUCKING FIND OUT WULBREN #barcus overhearing: [barcus disapproves]#sorry man do i look like a redemption paladin to you #hated his ass even when you didnt survive my first run to make it to act 3 its just worse now #guess i should tag #bg3 barcus #bg3 barcus wroot #barcus wroot #idk i dont go in his tag #or wulbrens. as you could guess

I hate my job, man. I’ve told my boss so many times “can we please switch everyone over to printed forms instead of handwriting” and she waves me off saying she’ll talk to them about it. She never has.

no one listens.

What does this say? mulan? mulah? mulaw?

Nope, it’s mularo.

ok. Now the patients results have been delayed cause we couldn’t read the damn name.

guess what, we couldn’t read the insurance ID either so it’s delayed even more.

I requested that they clarify the name and insurance ID. They only sent the name. They’re closed on Fridays.

You have delayed the results a whole 4 days, congrats.

Then they complain to us that the results are delayed. Amazing.

I wonder why.

#it just. pisses me off so much that I have to call this stupid office multiple times a week #because they refuse to write things properly #and have the same person writing everything #JUST FUCKING PRINT IT OUT OR SCAN THE INSURANCE CARD #stop getting annoyed that we have to call you and fix the damn problem that you caused :|#and then they spam call us daily asking if the results are ready #I genuinely don’t know how these small clinics stay open when they don’t even check if the patients insurance is active beforehand #actually the most annoying part #is that when I call the front desk acts suspicious as if it hasn’t been me. the same person. calling multiple times a week.#from the same number which you could look up and find our office.#so the point is- the front desk will never give me any information. even if I’m just asking to clarify a date of birth or somethin simple #I have to wait till the nurse is available #to answer my damn question #it’s 9 am it’s too early for this.#edit: why are ppl reblogging this #nuh uh

Treatment

“Take this pill,” They say.

Take this pill and it should work

In a month,

Three months,

Six.

Take this pill,

And it will make you tired.

They all make you tired,

Because they act on the brain,

You see.

Take this pill,

“We’re sorry the others didn’t work.”

We will smile

Sympathetically.

We do care.

Take this

Pill.

It will make you dizzy.

Take this

Injection.

Since it is treatment resistant

Now.

It will hurt,

It will make you itch.

You can still keep taking the old ones,

In case they end up working

Too.

Take this pill,

It should work in one month,

Three months,

Six.

No, we don’t know

Why this is happening.

We don’t know

How to fix it.

Your blood screening was

Normal.

Your CT scan was

Normal.

Take this pill.

-Lane Aconite,

#poetry #my work #lane archives #chronic pain #chronic migraines #chronic illness #this poem is still pretty ouch #the us medical system can really suck in its cyclical lack of progress regarding finding out what's “wrong” with a person #due to crazy long wait times for appointments & processing referrals as well as 4 profit health insurance #my chronic migraines had to escalate into epilepsy for me to be seen by an actual neurologist and be taken seriously & even now I still fee #neglected by the system #not because my drs are bad but because they're overloaded with patients #it's really exhausting & difficult to have to fight at every turn to receive the care we need & deserve when we're bent over in pain #in my experience this repetitive cycle really broke down my ability to advocate for myself for a while because I was just too depressed #but hey if you're reading this and you relate: I love you. You deserve to feel better and to be supported by your physicians #I'm getting better care now but healing isn't linear #and if you have insurance & you're feeling absolutely fucking crushed by the system pls look up if they have a nurse advice line & call the #to see if they're able to set up a complex care coordination plan & if the nurses themselves can set up appointments for you #it really helps to have an insurance lady or 3 you can call to set up appts & referrals or check on them to see where they're stuck #I could write a poem dedicated to all the wonderful women in social services who are literally saving my life every time they call

Checked my old med records re: transition dates bc today's Pl/Pa appt is probably going to be a fucking doozy where I anticipate being quizzed on my transition thus far and future goals for it

And double checked the year to find out A. my memory is shit and I was off a year but also B:

Next year will be my 5 year anniversary on T!!

#text post #getting ready ahead of time for the appt rn and am just a bit stoned to make sure the anxiety doesn't annihilate me lmao #I'm so glad Housemate is coming with to help me out as needed during the appt #like. if they drop me as a patient after this at least I'll have a witness to how they've been acting/the results of it #bc I've never once been believed at the start abt issues I have w/medical providers #only after it's gotten worse #and I'll have someone to help me navigate both hitting the grocery store after the appt w/out breaking down & also in plans #to call the new office and explain what happened (if it does tho i'm hoping they'll just wait it out w/me until Oct for my new clinic appt)#and hope they can help keep me on T and my lamotrigine until my first visit w/them (tho I'm already on their waitlist too)#I still have so much admiration for PlPa but my god. this has been a fucking nightmare in the end for me #and has heightened parts of my dysphoria and made me more anxious and frustrated at being misgendered #which still happens unfortunately often but like. no one is gonna apologise so I just roll with it #and I really didn't need that on top of adjusting to a move across the country #but it's whatever bc i'll get thru this appt see the new doc eventually and things will be more stable w/my care #and in the meantime I can think abt anniversary celebration ideas for next year

Can't wait to see what the consistently uncooperative nurse who answers my GP's messages has to say, if she messages me back. I bet you twenty bucks right now her reply makes it obvious that she didn't even glance at the rest of the thread.

Lady, you have way more going on than me. I know you're busy. I also know I am annoying. I'll stop bothering you if you tell me what you need from me so I can move on to the next step because until you do, I can't. Stop wasting your own time.

#if she flubs the next response i will have to call and insist to talk to someone backstage #which sucks because they're never available and there is for some reason no voicemail so if nobody answers the phone I just get disconnecte #and have to call again and again because even though it's the only way to reach anyone #leaving a message with the front desk only works about every fifth time #so calling and waiting all day for a response x 5 = 1 week #calling the front desk repeatedly eventually gets me connected with someone actually helpful but it takes days usually #the portal summons this woman who does usually answer but is often utterly unhelpful #i would jump clinics but this doctor is good and the nurse i usually see is good #and I CANNOT handle the hassle of getting set up in their system with the right name and pronouns #setting up a new portal #and disclosing that I have PTSD to even more people #I know I don't have to give details and I do not (I did have to call out a woman once for pressing for them inappropriately)#but I do need to let them know so they aren't surprised when I show up having a bad day #or tell them not to do a thing or that I won't do a thing #so they don't brush it off which is rude or try to pressure me which will eventually get them snapped at for what seems like no reason #they DESERVE to be warned so they don't perceive my behavior as targeted at them because that feels shitty to both of us #so yeah #i don't want to have that conversation again when I just had it in a very triggering way and will have to do that again very shortly #also where the fuck do i go when nobody at a good clinic is seeing new patients?

I can't decide what's more frustrating. Job applications and communication with people there or trying to contact the doctor's office.

#what if i just died #i want.#a corona vaccination #idk if health insurance covers it #i want #a TBE vaccination #health insurance Should cover it but what if they don't #or what if the dr's office says no?#and i probably should get a blood test because that's what that doctor recommended every 6 months #BUT WHAT IF THAT'S ANNOYING AND I SHOULD JUST WAIT ANOTHER YEAR #and i have to ask if they take new patients because my mom needs a new family doctor #and NO ONE TAKES NEW PATIENTS #they will be so annoyed by my call #BUT THEY ALSO NEVER PICK UP SO I CAN'T EVEN GET THE CHANCE TO ANNOY THEM #okay #one last try for today #wish me luck #void screams

#I know I'm likely catastrophizing and also that a day or two won't make a difference #But I noticed a lump a month or two ago and then dismissed it as not a problem #I cannot remember why I did this. Like did it go away? Did I forget?#Either way I noticed it again today. Spent twenty minutes trying to reach my doctor's office #Before I was fully losing my mind (it's terrible on a good day to keep hearing 'we have a patient portal!' and 'we do urgent care on week!'#Once a minute.) And had to hang up and roll into work 30 minutes late #Just tried to call them again and they are at lunch #Like!! I just want an appointment and for someone to tell me it's not cancer or do a biopsy if it is #Because the internet suggests it could very well be cancer!!!!#And I'm limited on what else it could be based on symptoms so like. I'd like to speak to a fucking doctor #So I can know for sure #Either way I'm starting to investigate a new practice because this one has reassigned me three times in 1 year #So I want to try to find a place that is more stable and doesn't have 20+ minute wait times to speak to a human #Update that I called again and had to hang up after 20 minutes waiting for someone to answer #If the bridge weren't an issue I would show up in person #Anyways I'm now hoping to get through at another place and switch PCPs because this is unacceptable #Even the 'are you sick and need to get in today' option had a 10+ minute wait #Why even have a phone

yooo i'm never buying anything with a rebate ever again lol. i forgot about the rebates for my contacts, and I finally sat down to do it, only to find out that my eye doctor never gave me the required documents to claim it and it's too late now to get them in time.... so i just lost $200.

#i'm so mad lol #they have a 'patient portal' but i don't have an account on it and it's only possible to create an account at the doctor's office #(though i was not ever informed of this at the office)#but like they straight up did not give me ANY documents that are dated #or with any information #the receipt i got was completely without prices or dates #and i never got any papers about my eye exam #i'm also not happy with the eye doctor i saw #because when i brought up an issue i've been having with my eyesight #he was like 'yeah that's weird lol'#and didn't offer any help??? even though i googled it later and there's absolutely options #all he wanted to talk to me about was how much he hated hubble contacts (mail order contacts)#the rebate thing is definitely my own fault bc if i didn't wait this long i could have called the doctor and asked for the forms #but now it's too late and i missed the deadline #but i'm just salty that i would have even needed to call and ask for a receipt or proof that i got an eye exam

rip nagisa you’ll get your mv soon™️

#i’m sure they’re cooking *something* up for him!!!!!!!!!!#took me like 15 mins to look for this song on yt bc i’ve gotten so used to calling it kimikawaii that i forgot what its full title was #p r a y i n g for kimikawaii mv soon~~~~~~~~#though. ngl. at this point im 95% expecting them to hold nagisa mv back till 8/28 #y’know for their customary(?) post-stream mv drops and such…#since there’s 4 fridays to go till mona album drops and there’s 3 confirmed mvs to be released till then #plus maybe 1 narumi sisters mv since they have a new duet and all. so. y’know. that’s already 4 potential mvs in 4 weeks. so.#i. it’s ok nagisa. let’s all hold hands and wait patiently for him together… okay…?#ofc it’ll be nice if nagisa mv came out before then~ like a surprise double mv day or something…#or if they decide to push back the inevitable narumi sisters mv till who knows when..#but considering how hw loves to post mvs of idol series characters leading up to the album drops… who k n o w s #then again… mona did get an ichigo au lait mv on a saturday instead of some time during the usual scheduled releases so. hm.#(just wait till kimikawaii mv randomly drops on. like. a saturday with no warning lol… highly unlikely but. y’know.)#hw have a normal release schedule p l s #y. yes im normal about this series and nagisa dont look at me like that ahaha…#the dude from gamushara

ngl it is getting harder and harder to wait to start hrt. I've known I'm trans for 4 years now, and I haven't even officially come out to my family. I'm out to (most of) my friends, I'm out at work, he'll my family basically knows but I haven't actually said it to any of them :/ I have 2 more years until I can start the process of medically transitioning and I'm honestly not sure I can wait that long!!! it I am THIS CLOSE to ordering t online, which I KNOW is probably a stupid idea, but I'm so fucking desperate, and this little voice in my head keeps telling me that if I take small enough doses that the changes will happen slow enough that my family won't even notice which is STUPID but I have shit object permanence (my friend got a haircut and I couldn't even remember what if looked like a day later), and so my brain keeps telling me that everyone else does to but they DON'T and my stupid fucking brain won't accept that bc it's dumb accepts hell and just AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Me, aged 5. Spoken to my extremely Catholic grandmother, matriarch of the family, who had crosses and pictures of saints hanging in every room of the house: [little, uncannily-enunciated voice] “Grandma, when your church gets destroyed in Armageddon, you can come to our kingdom hall!”

#exjw #ex cult #I’m overly-conscious of how I speak now; but as a child I was about as blunt as a sledgehammer #Yeah my dad got SLAMMED for that one #There was no mistaking what I said because I spoke like a little adult #I was… something. Cute but weird and kind of manipulative.#At that age I enjoyed creeping out adult men in public by intensely staring at them #only adult men; not women #I also pushed boys down the slide and called them “scaredy-cat” until they agreed with me that they were cowards #I planned out in my head one time that my dad was going to walk into the living room with coffee in his hand #so if I scared him at just the right moment; he’d jolt and coffee would spill all over the floor #So I tested my hypothesis and it worked.#My goal was to get him to spill the coffee #I was around four or five but with the calculation of a serial killer (which isn’t saying much because serial killers are dumb)#I watched ET and wanted to see if I could hide in plain sight in my basket of stuffed animals #So I just waited in there very patiently until my dad went looking for me. Held my eyes open without blinking and remained very still #He walked in… looked right at me but didn’t see me; walked out. Walked back in #This time he saw me and got the crap scared out of him when he realized I was right there in front of him the whole time #But I never went into anything to prank anyone… I wasn’t in it for humor; I wanted to be smarter and more powerful than people #if only for a second #I wanted to see if I could come up with a plan involving other people and have those people do what I wanted them to do #But you see I was so sweet 90% of the time that no one thought anything of it — or even noticed what I was doing in some cases #Fortunately I grew out of doing that kind of thing without sufficient cause #But I still do enjoy messing with people from time to time if they REALLY deserve it #or benignly… I like it when people cry or get squeamish in reaction to my artistic work or acting or singing #The feeling of someone eating out of the palm of my hand creatively is great #Love it

#i cant believe i could've almost been his girlfriend!!!!#im sad that he never asked me and never waited ....#because i know me and im dependable and devoted #i go all in if i love #but instead he .. fell in love fast and quick and i get it. i get why he fell for her i really do so i dont blame him #but... they only lasted a month then they broke up #she left. and i get that she and i are different people #but i cannot fathom how you can have HIM and leave him #i cant even imagine my life without him. he is genuinely all i think about #and she left.... !!!!! i cant understand that (from my pov. she is her own person i know)#i just wish he'd stuck it out and given me a chance (bc he did feel those things for me he said that)#i know the heart want what it wants but oh how i wish #i would've been with him until now. i would've never have left him #i wish i wish he didnt do that bc now he's even more heartbroken and i know it'll just be harder for me to maybe prove myself to him #(btw this sounds super selfish but this is only me venting my feelings!!!)#im still here for him. i've never left. i've been so so patient. isnt that worth anything?#most of the time it feels like he doesnt even appreciate me :( at all #i just cannot believe that HE once upon a time wanted ME to be his gf #if things just had gone a bit differently i would've been so lucky to call myself his #and him mine... that's so crazy to me #that's my dream...#i dont wanna give up on him bc i love him sm i cant imagine any other way my life can go #but.... i cant push if he isnt even replying... i cant bother him too much #then im just crazy #and my anxities arent even letting me message him at all #bc even if i asked if it's ok and he said im not bothering him #im convinced i am. i mean it really seems and feels like i am doing that #so i just cannot even message him..... which makes my life so empty i wanna cry #sometimes i wish i'd never met him bc my love for him has ruined my life now that i cant have him

Whatever happens i hope the entirety of the medical system and every other established bullshit broken system run by people whi think theyre entitled to other peoples worth burn to the ground as painfully as possibly and the people effected get to mount their heads on sticks before being given contracts to be involved in the rebuilding process so its actually fucking fair and works

Urgent care visit over. Potions of healing acquired (antibiotic and a stronger cough med). First doses taken, though one of them is making me very nauseous. I am home, partially fed, showered, and about to curl up and try to sleep this off. If I ever figure out who gave this shit to us, if they're not a little kid, I'm punching them in the face. And if they are a kid, I'm punching their parent (only partially kidding because it's gone through my partner's entire friend group this week).

#vent post #medical issues #i was supposed to do the dishes this morning and they'll just have to wait now #same with the laundry #i was literally told to sleep and hydrate by the doctor #and he listened to me so I'll do what he said #he called me a pleasantly compliant patient because i was the only one who didn't just automatically take their partner's pills #he was quite happy when i said that i never took anything that wasn't prescribed to me specifically #like I'm allergic to so many things i can't take the chance lol
