#she prescribed me these

[the-eccentric-eclectic]

Hey kid, look at me.

I want you to T-pose. Turn your right thumb up and your left thumb doen and look at your right thumb. Move your arms up and down a bit until you feel a nerve running from your armpit to your palm. Now turn your right thumb down and your left thumb up, and look at your left thumb. Keep your chest facing forward and your shoulders back. Move your arms again until you feel that nerve again. Keep alternating between these two for a minute, or look at each thumb thirty times each.

Now sit down. Put your left hand firmly under your left buttock, palm down. Keep your shoulders back and put your right hand over the crown of your head, very gently pulling it to the right. Do this for thirty seconds, then do it again but with your right hand under your right buttock.

These are stretches for the nerves in your arms, and are very good for people who sit behind a computer a lot, or fibre artists, or you name it. Do them daily. They will hurt in the beginning, but keep doing them, even after the pain has gone, or it will return and you'll have to start all over.

Yes, Jude, after 600 pages of you going Cardan, Cardan, Cardan, it may be possible that you are indeed infatuated.

Living with Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors

Me: *Is super stressed over life.*

Trichotillomania: Time to pull some hair! C'mon. You won't even notice you're doing it. It'll make you feel better.

Me: NO. *Spends 4 days putting hair in a mini twist protective style* There.

Dermatillomania: Hey. Your hands are free. And restless. And dry... Pick your skin. Bleed. Bleed.

Me: Stop! *Starts up a new crochet project to keep hands busy.* Ok cool.

Onychophagia: Hi hi. Your nails are.... perfect biting length... you should do that.

Me: Noooooooooooo *Paints nails.*

Dermatillomania: Oh look, you got some nail polish on your skin. Pick it off... now pick some more...

i've been prescribed bloodletting so i jokingly asked if my insurance covers leeches as well, and the doctor said yes

[quixoticanarchy]

Nothing new in this but I rly do find it unconscionably irresponsible of clinicians not to tell you the side effects of the medications they prescribe you. Especially if they have a fucking FDA black box warning for neuropsychiatric effects including anxiety, depression, and suicidality

Also ime doctors have told me the side effects of meds I'm going to have to take the rest of my life or I die ("you may run into issues with bone density or - the horror - weight gain...") but for meds that weren't actually life or death at all, they didn't tell me shit. And had I known, I would not have taken them! And my mental health probably wouldn't have tanked drastically in 2023, and I wouldn't have spent almost two years trying to get back to my baseline of 2022 before this fucking medication derailed me

nova moment i won’t get to for ages but wanna talk about bc it’s really fucking funny- when amy has her bat mizvah she obviously like. invites her friends. and nova is her best friend and bc of this she’s obviously also invited. and she just spends the entire time in awe bc she's got a special interest in religious text while also having never had any knowledge of actual religious practices. after during celebrations she's just BEGGING amy to know how she can come back to the synagogue bc she had the best night of her life that didn't involve murder she's utterly awestruck. like she legitimately Did Not Know religion was like this and she’s stoked. like down to convert on the spot stoked. (amy encourages her to do more research first bc obviously nova doesn’t have the informed ability to make that choice when she barely knows anything about religion except the scripture isolated from any context but she does take nova to synagogue when she’s in station square)

Every time I go to my gp i end up with a MINIMUM of one new specialist, one new diagnosis, and about one billion labs

Being disabled is so much work for such shit pay lmao

[traaumaa]

freaking out in the grocery store cause i forgot to take my meds

[foolforshera]

Remember when I said I wasn't writing much because I had a shoulder problem? Yeah, turns out it's not a shoulder problem it's a pinched nerve in my neck, probably from a bulging disc, and it's taking forever to get it taken care of. So I haven't stopped writing, I'm just on hiatus until this crap finally gets taken care of.

trans women should be able to impregnate trans girls, me in particular. trans men should also be able to. also cis women.

[eponinesflowers]

being chronically ill and mentally ill like: is the medical professional telling me “relax” repeatedly because they do this with everyone or because i radiate anxiety from my very being?
