you have to go to work so you can pay for your doctor, who is not taking your insurance right now, and if you say i can't afford the doctor's you are told - get a better job. it is very sad that you are unwell, yes, but maybe you should have thought about that before not having a better job.

(where is the better job? who is giving out these better jobs? you are sick, you are hurting - how the hell are you supposed to be well enough for this better job?)

but you go to the doctor because you had the nerve to be hurt or sick or whatever else. and they tell you that it is because you have anxiety. you try your best. you are a self-advocate. you've done the reading (which sometimes pisses them off worse, honestly). you say it is actually adding to my anxiety, it is effecting my quality of life. so they say that you are fat. they say that all young people have this happen to them, isn't it a medical marvel! they say that you should eat more vegetables. they say that you probably just need to lose a little more weight, and that you are faking it for attention.

(what attention could this doctor possibly give? what validation? that's their fucking job, isn't it?)

there is always a hypochondriac, right. someone always tells you about a hypochondriac. or someone who is unnecessarily aggressive during the worst days of their life. or someone looking "for a quick fix". or some idiot who wasn't educated about how to properly care for themselves who just abandons their treatment. and again, the hypochondriac, the overly-cautious hysteric. these people don't deserve to be treated like humans (right), and since you might be one of these people, you also don't get treated like a human. because those people can really fuck with the system, you now have to pay for it. and besides. you're actually probably faking it.

(more often than not, you find a 2:1 ratio of these stories. for every "hypochondriac", there are 2 people who knew something was wrong, and yet nobody could fucking find it. the story often ends with pointless suffering. the story often ends with and now it's too late, and it's going to kill me.)

you are actually just making excuses. someone else got that procedure or that diagnosis and he's fine, you should be fine too. someone else said they watched a documentary about other inspirational people with your exact same condition, maybe you should be inspirational, too. you're just too morbid. your pain and your experience is probably just not statistically concerning. it is all self-reported anyway, and you're just being a baby.

(once, while sitting down in the middle of making coffee, you had the sudden, horrible thought - i could kill myself to make the pain stop. you had to call your best friend after that. had to pet your dog. had to cry about it in the shower. you won't, but that moment - god, fuck. the pain just goes on and on.)

you know someone who went in for routine surgery and said i still feel everything. they told her to just relax. it took her kicking and screaming before they figured out she wasn't lying - the anesthetic drip hadn't been working. you know someone who went in for severe migraines who was told drink water and lose weight. you know someone who was actively bleeding out and throwing up in the ER and was told you're just having a bad period.

in the ER there are always these little posters saying things like "don't wait! get checked today!" and you think about how often you do wait. how often the days spool out. you once waited a full week before seeing the doctor for what you thought was a sprained wrist. it had actually been broken - they had to rebreak it to set it.

but you go into the doctor. the problem you're having is immediate. the person behind the counter frowns and says we're not taking your insurance. you will be paying for this out-of-pocket.

they send you home with tylenol and a little health packet about weight loss or anxiety or attention deficit. on the front it has your birthday and diagnosis. you think about crying, and the words swim. it might as well say go fuck yourself. it might as well say you're a fucking idiot. it might as well say light your money on fire and lie down in it. and the entire fucking time - the problem persists.

it's okay. it's okay, it's just another thing, you think. it's just another thing i have to learn to live with.

open heart surgery >>> sexual intercourse you're so right 💪💪

-☎ anon, convinced its irl friend to buy splatoon 3.

you know what they say, the fastest way to a mans heart is through the sternum!!

[moeblob]

You know, when I kept getting asked "so you didn't ever have severe pains before now?" in the hospital and I kept replying "I have a high pain tolerance" I meant it. However, there is only so much pain my tiny 4'9" body can hold... (aka I am sweating and in agony bc I'm getting told to use LESS severe pain meds so I don't rely on them too much and it is AWFUL)

compilation of things i did in the 4 years before we started dating and i realized that i had a massive crush on my best friend the entire time. keep in mind that despite all of these things i was still in denial that i had a crush on her the entire time

privately swore off dating anyone for the rest of my life because i didnt want someone in my life to be more important to me than she was (like not subconsciously. this was something i actively told myself)

got jealous of a 12 year old who confessed to her through miiverse on splatoon

youve heard of kindating but i did the opposite. any time she liked a character i always ended up liking the character that was romantically involved with that character even if they were nothing like me. drew fanart of us as these characters along with all our friends. actively hated ships that involved shipping those two characters with any characters that werent eachother

any time she Wasnt into a media i was into , my favorite character would almost always end up being the one that reminded me of her. there werent a lot of these because the majority of things i decided to get into were because she got into them

spent like half an hour one day looking at pictures of her with a focus on looking at her lips . came to the conclusion that yeah of course id be ok with not getting to kiss her but only if no one else got to do it

had three dreams where i kissed her. one of them we got married. two of these dreams were semi lucid dreams and the reason i kissed her was because i realized i was dreaming, went, "oh! i can do whatever i want!" and kissed her in the dream

talked enough about her enough at school that the entire marching band knew about her. and also were all convinced i was in love with her

got a little purple plastic ring and tied it to my shoelace because her favourite color is purple and i wanted a reminder that she was always with me. then got a matching homestuck necklace with her and always wore that. then got a pin of her favourite cucumber quest character and always wore that.just as a reminder she was alawys with me . i would break the rules sneak it under my marching band uniform so that i could keep wearing it when we preformed at competitions and stuff. literally would not go anywhere without that pin some where on my person

every new pokemon game i would always have her favorite pokemon on my team and name her after her. absolutely maxed out friendship and affection im talking luxury ball soothe bell massage nonstop attention in pokemon amie any time fullness or enjoyment dropped. walking into the elite four with a level 80 litwick with the rest of my team at level 60 (her favorite pokemon turned out to actually be pikachu)

when we started meeting in real life i would start like. timing my haircuts so my hair would be the perfect length when i visited her. get bath bombs for the first time in my life and use them the night before flying. spend like 2 hours letting my conditioner set in the night before to maximize how soft my hair would be (this was futile as airplanes always ruin my hair but i kept doing it anyways). use lip balm for some reason (literally did not use lip balm at any other time in my life)

anyways that went on for 4 and a half years telling myself and everyone around me that yeah this is normal we are just bestfriends :) i do not secretly have the biggest crush known to mankind on her

HELLO GUESS WHO MADE ART OF THE SILLIES AGAIN????? i love them so much they’ve infested my brain,,,, I love women, ,,!!!! I’ve been making some sketches over the last couple of week,, some that will be turned into big epic drawings over the next couple of months hehehheh.

thank you @friendlyengie for your epic characters they bring me joy,, 👍👍👍👍👍

YAYYYYYY !!! OLD PEOPLE !! This one has been sitting in the drafts for a little while,, hhhh. I like to think that the medics have entirely grey hair and just,,, dye it. Uh oh It’s the last hair dye box in all of New Mexico ,, they’re having a cowboy standoff thing or whatever you call it

cringe fail loser sapphic at it again. ,,,,, , she horrible o love her ,

woah,, tnnahts a lot of woman. ,,and pupy!!!. Got a little bit obsessed with the acne on Quinn. I have pretty bad acne myself and most people don’t really add it to their characters and stuff,, makes me feel a little sad and ugly. So thank you very much for that!! It makes,me happy 👍👍👍👍👍

when I first saw spy,, I was like. Oh yeah. That’s,, the,,, the, . She friends with orginal spy I think,, . That would be a little silly ,,I think. So that’s my little itty bitty headcannon. They hate each other too but in silly bestie way. B))

Went a little crazy with the weird gay thing,, just a little bit,,,,, just a. Yeah.

WEIRD GAY THING AGAIN ?????!!!! NO Way bro…,, This is a sketch I plan to turn into a finished drawing!! Also I’m so proud of myself the perspective looks very epic B)) Also I think Quinn is the type to sleep without a shirt on but I don’t know if tumblr would like that if I drewed that so she gets shitty tank top instead. They are having sleepover in demos room if you can’t tell

also that fucking bongu post keeps on coming into my brain at the worst possible times ,, like I’ll be having a really serious conversation and the fucking bongu appears and I fucking lose it

FINAL SKETCH!!! This is a very rough sketch of a very epic and cool drawing I plan to finish. If anybody has any suggestions I’d love to hear it!, I am struggling with what to shove into the background. Also fuck yeah the golden spiral babey,, putting those 9th grade art class skills into use B))

This’ll be probably the most intricate art piece I’ve ever made,, wish me luck. I think I managed to fit all 18 mercs in there! Hopefully! I’ll double check later lol.

(Drawings of the mercs by friendlyengie). Me when the women 👁👁

that’s the end of all the drawings!! Thanks very much for looking at them hhh,,,, I did not spend 16 hours on this, you spent 16 hours on this

go follow friendlyengie they make some sick ass drawings,, good food right there babey B)). I hope I was able to kinda characterize them correctly!! I’m not very good at that yet,, but I’m getting better I think!!

Now off to visit your mother. (Study and plan for spring term and clean my room)

[4rk-in-the-road]

Doctors are so funny. They'll be like "Hey you should stop doing this thing" and when I explain I'm doing that thing because otherwise I'd be dysfunctional they just give up lmao

[ghouljams]

Oooo I love the idea of distribution system Ghost starting to heal and moving on from his savior, but I also love the idea that he heals and begins to realize that they’re a little more human than he first thought and maybe they need a bit of saving too and like it turns into this mutually beneficial healing. Like they healed Ghost so damn it if he won’t save them too (he owes them his life after all)

Like I said I'm still work shopping what I think the ending will be! I want it to have a meaning within the story, even if that ending happens to be my usual happy ending of they get married and are gross and in love. I have another story I'm working on that has an ending I think I might semi-steal for the Ghost distribution system, we'll see though.

I gotta do an in-depth re-read and figure out my feelings on it.

[crimeronan]

just burst into tears in a post office and immediately the entire world opened up to me. easy criers must have the best lives what the fuck. i should stop taking my prozac Immediately.

[greenstudies]

If I knew how to stop procrastinating, I'd be unstoppable. Not having the depersonalisation disorder would be also nice but we can't have it all.

Flu and Covid: People told to avoid mixing at Christmas if unwell - Tizzime

People have been urged to avoid mixing with vulnerable relatives if they feel unwell this Christmas.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) warned flu and Covid hospital admission rates were continuing to rise.

Health officials also encouraged everyone eligible for the vaccines to have them as soon as possible.

The warning comes as people across the UK prepare for the most open festive period since the start of coronavirus pandemic restrictions.

Parts of the UK were forced into lockdown over the Christmas period in 2020, and a wave of Covid infections meant hundreds of thousands of people were forced to isolate on Christmas Day in 2021.

All remaining Covid restrictions, including the legal requirement to self-isolate at home with symptoms, were removed earlier this year.

Covid antiviral treatment leads to faster recovery

More pupils off school ill as flu cases rise

Flu rates in Scotland at highest level since 2017
