#anxiety is the new “female hysteria” and im not fucking here for it

[itsnotmyfaultsomepeoplecantread]

America is wack. People can't find an affordable place to live that also lets them keep their pets, public schools are a hell scape, no one gets paid enough to buy a house, and we all have giant amounts of student loan debt and no healthcare.

That's all aside from being diagnosed OR undiagnosed (either way sucks) with learning/social differences, disabilities, etc., and/or being a part of other marginalized and threatened communities.

And for some reason we're shocked that everyone is depressed and anxious?

My experience with doctors in a nutshell:

"it's anxiety"

"it's anxiety"

"it's depression AND anxiety

"it's manic-depression"

"it's depression with anxiety"

"it's OCD"

"it's anxiety"

"it might be ADHD?"

"you have weird brain waves"

"it's anxiety"

"it's anxiety"

"it's anxiety"

"it's adhd"

"it's anxiety + adhd"

"it's anxiety + adhd"

"it's autism?"

"it's such bad anxiety that we can't even tell you what it is"

"it's anxiety"

"it's anxiety"

"you have an unknown number medical issues that will definitely get worse, need a bunch of surgeries, definitely have ADHD, and are on the autism spectrum"

You can't find tools and problem-solve if you don't even know what the problem is.
