i am so goddamn scared i’m never gonna be able to get the help i need. and doctors see this and refuse to acknowledge it’s from an observation of my reality rather than the pathology itself. which obviously makes their care ineffective. which keeps feeding the fear that i’m never getting help. and the hospital taking longer and longer and longer to give me a psychiatrist appointment obviously gets me even worse.

oh dudes. dudes. i am vagueposting but today I saw someone say "prescribing birth control for period pains is bad because they might have underlying cause of period pains like endometriosis or fibroids that need treating"
please listen to me. first line treatment for both endometriosis and fibroids is birth control.
you do NOT want pelvic surgery if you have ANY possibility of avoiding it it is fairly notorious for being one of the worst surgeries for CAUSING chronic pain (spinal surgery is the other) (some people DO need pelvic surgery! That's fine and ok! But you really want to exhaust other options first!)
birth control can have side effects for some people (but is usually safe) and it is not a solution for everyone but it is very actively an appropriate place to start

I mean this ENTIRELY positively, but i think its very funny when this blog reblogs a non-fandom specific post and doesn't tag it, and when I cant apply it easily to tged i have to go "is this a headcannon or perspective that happens to not match mine?" (soooooo valid), or i stare at the post either excited or terrified it will apply to cpsm (hey. hey what does that "loving the monster regardless" post mean. hey. dont actually answer i guess ill find out eventually)
excellent that's exactly the reaction i want to elicit out of everyone who sees those posts <3
also don't worry about it :) everything is fine :) keep reading :)

WELL. I said my new glasses were starting to feel better, but I lied. I got headaches so bad I got nauseous last night. So I called the doctors office and explained what was going on, the receptionist pulled up my file, saw who my doctor was, groaned, and said she understood why I wanted to come back in. Then she immediately made an appointment for me with a different doctor for tomorrow. Wtaf…
But that said on second thought I should’ve known something was up bc after this guy did my eye exam he started talking about how my prescription isn’t very strong and if he was me he would only wear my glasses while reading or driving. I was like well that doesn’t sound right but maybe my eyes have improved.
So fingers crossed that the doctor tomorrow gives me the right prescription????

thanks for that post. 10 years of medical training, humiliation and exams, followed by lack of employment due to cutbacks to healthcare, just so I can read your reblogged little post about how doctors say they know everything and humiliate patients. And the notes about how all doctors do is tell people they're fat. Which of course is the truth 100% of the time. Right. Great. Good to know nothing I ever did amounted to anything, that my own generation hates me. Thanks for that, thanks for the anxiety attack, for making me cry on the bus home, you shitbrick. There's no good doctors, mate, you're absolutely right. This doesn't hurt anyone, we don't try to go into this field because we care, because we want to help. We just want power and money, right? Because we're famously overpaid, us the doctors? True, right? Love and peace. I wish you the best. I'm going to fucking kill myself
crazy how you’re studying to become a doctor when you can’t read
