✨this isn’t a pity post- I don’t want anyone’s pity- this is for other who are ill or loved ones of those who are ill! I want to bring awareness to what happens. I’m fine. Honest! I Am blessed to have a strong support family and wonderful therapists~ so please, read if it interests you, if not, just leave the post alone, ok? Thank you!✨
I’ve found myself falling into huge pits of anxiety every appt this past year or so…
When new symptoms arise, I’d rather ignore them or not say anything… even when one doctor tells me repeatedly a new issue is a “big red flag 🚩” and that I should see such and such doctor, or “go to the ER immediately next time”… my now trained response is “what’s the point?” “What can they really do?”
It’ll be five years this May since I severely injured my neck beyond any point of recovering to “normal” and four years in June since my first autoimmune disease showed its face… in terms of diagnosis and treatment, I know from others journeys I still have a ways to go before I am taken more seriously, or find the right doctors, or my health gets bad enough it forces their attention…
But with this- the way we’ve been treated… What’s the point?
If you have anyone in your life who experiences this, please just be there for them. Give them a judgement free place to vent and be the warm encouragement for them to keep fighting and advocating for themselves. Remind them they’re not crazy. That they matter. That they’re not alone. It helps, we listen, and we love you all the more for it!
