reasons why my local hospital is bullshit:
to see the emergency doctors, you have to walk all the way to a&e where a nurse will talk to you for three minutes and immediately send you back to the emergency doctors
reasons why my local hospital is cool:
theres a baby in the waiting room whos crying sounds like a raptor
#personal#kai rambles#nhs#i guess?#im just ranting because like#im here because ive been ill for like over a month and cant go back up to where i live because i dont want to just infect everyone there#plus the illness has been fucking with taking my meds and i know the best chance i have for getting back into the routine#is to be at my moms where she will call me out on it#and because of it#i cant go see my gp#so i have to go to an emergency/walk in same day doctor#and im here because i have had blocked sinuses i have lost my voice ten times i have thrown up on more days than i havent this year#i feel faint i have abdominal pain and my coordination is worse than normal#i also am having lots of issues with visual disturbances like things in my peripheral vision seemed to be moving by themselves#because i cant take my meds for it#and so to actually see someone for help with this i have to come here#where ive already had to do like fifteen minutes of walking with sll thst going on#fuck

I'm probably not the first to admit this but goddamn was I a narcissistic prick when I wasn't on stimulants
#adhd#not art#like this only thing I could think about was how understimulated I was#every person was boring because I was in such a severe and chronic state of dopamine deficiency#so I wasn't interested or curious about ANYONE and nobody could 'satiate me' and I deemed everyone boring because of it#then the first week on my meds & I went to visit my neighbor#& I was like 'omg your granddaughter came to visit this weekend? how was she? :)'#and then after I went home and I was like wow she's so sweet and her life seems so interesting I cant wait to talk more about it#and then it hit me I had known her for YEARS and it wasn't until now that I.. cared :(#made me feel really bad but also glad that I actually have the capacity to care and it wasn't just my personality#I had to do a lot of damage control :T but some bridges were burned and I gotta live with that#now I can proudly proclaim that no im not a narcissist bc I think people are interesting and I wanna hear them talk#i can just sit and listen and internalizing their perspective ..#for once I like people and I'm not a victim in some imaginary fight for mediocrity with everyone else#it never excited and im happy to feel that way#also whenever I speak with unmedicated adhders I just look at them like wow you don't even know how much your brain is making itself suffer#every adhder may not want to or can take meds and that's fine but everyone at least deserves to know what it feels when they work

What people think ADHD is:
So I went to my room to grab sticky notes to leave my roommate a reminder on the dryer but then I saw my week old mug on my nightstand so I went to put it away and then when I was in the kitchen I realized there's no room for it in the cabinet and now I'm measuring the wall for shelving units.
Which, yeah, it is that. It's definitely that. But it's also this series of texts I sent to my friend this morning:
#adhd#executive dysfunction#i ran out of my meds before my next psych appointment and it turns out they were working better than i thought they were#so i took an old one i never got rid of that i stopped taking because of the side effects. i was so desperate#i wanted to run and move at lightspeed but i cant and it was infuriating#i was stimming on the drive to work with the cheesestick that i forgotten I'd put in my pocket ten minutes earlier#the other meds are working now and i feel a lot better but i forgot to take them with food and now I'm nauseous#and they really named it can't Sit Still And Gets Distracted Disorder#oy#don't mind me#skywalker42 rambles#i might still be in bed if the cat hadn't gently chewed on my hand#i also sucked in a hard candy while getting ready to add some other sensory info and i think it helped so there's a hot tip#i want to sleep for a week and also start training for the circus

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)
#moe talks a lot#i was shaking earlier and despite the fact i sound like im gonna cry#and the fact that my mom can pick out im about to cry from pain bc im trying to take less pain meds#LIKE MY MOM IS INSTRUCTING ME TO DO#shes like well why arent you taking any pain meds#BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO AVAILABLE OPTIONS AND ON A SIX HOUR TIMER#i cant take both at once or else what happens to me if i hurt before the six hours is up#i have to manage them in a way that allows me to benefit from both and being told im doing it wrong#after being told well its your fault it got so bad because you never complained about pain before#YEAH NO JOKE? REALLY? I NEVER DID? because everyone acts like im too young to feel that kinda pain#oh youre hurting? just wait until youre older#and its currently agony to breathe again but that i guess is also my fault bc im trying to use pain meds#holy moly i just want to not get dizzy standing up cause wow dang#sure would be nice if the multiple incisions in my stomach didnt THROB every time i sneezed or coughed or cleared my throat#but since i didnt use much pain meds before because i would be mocked for being too much of a baby its like#welp damn now i could really use some and im being called out for being too reliant#anyway time to sleep more because that means im not noticing my pain#im literally smaller than most children and so i do understand my body size makes people worried about the medication intake#but can i please just go a day without being asked how much im taking or when i last took it or if im gonna cry#anyway sorry for the excessive rant today never really had surgery or anything so this is brand spankin new suffering

Imagine you're a robot girl (stay with me) and you're made by a corporation right like you're made by a company for other people but like. You're made by a company. At any moment that company could decide that your line isn't profitable enough and they could cut software updates and support as soon as tomorrow. In the blink of an eye the very things keeping you alive stop coming and you've become terminally ill overnight, your only chance of salvation being the thin hope that in the future a niche group of data hoarders or software engineers become obsessed with getting you to work again. You're an object with sentience and a brain and wants and needs and at any moment the Google news feed of the crusty computer nerd you live with could spit an alert across your eyes telling you that you have months to live.
What even happens when the time runs out? Does life continue as normal, but you're sick more and more often? Do the viruses take more and more processing power to fight off as your security protocols fall out of date? Does the world become muted and distant as your compatibility fails? Do you one day just lose your Internet connection forever, a loss so profound that you can't explain it to your human companions? It's worse than a limb, but not quite like losing your mind.
Do you lose function bit by bit, or are you able to scrape by on second hand parts? Bit by bit replacing the pieces of you that fail, all the while living a muted, disorienting existence without the ability to right yourself? Are you more or less of a person now that you've lost touch with the network? Lost your connection to the metaphysical, to you, the divine? Are you eventually bricked after falling behind one too many software patches? Do you fry after trying to take on an update you're not able to even contain, a piece of software so complex and unfathomable that it burns you to a crisp from the inside out
#messages from knave#i had an LG phone when they turned off update support i was Devastated#I never got a hold of a software key so there's no way for me to go back now and get that old phone to work#my old roommate had an iphone six. when that iphone six broke they cashed it in for another iphone six. now all iphone sixes are#essentially bricked forever because they cant support newer apple software#anyway android 14 update coming this week#had a panic attack that i might have to take my tonsils out in the future and i cant just not talk for two weeks#my job is answering the phone. that'd be like turning off my most basic function I'd be so screwed#well. ALMOST had a panic attack. my meds kicked in before it really got going. theyre not meant for anxiety but they sure do something#ok to rb#if we're still doing that

(wip) Bloody Medical Malpractice Yuri Concept
[under cut for blood]
I dont even know the lore to this I just felt like drawing it lol… The things she’d do for a Kumar 2.0 i guess???
May finish this to test things lets find out!
There’s also this where she tries to clean them up proper:
#Kaalaa Baunaa#Medicine Pocket#KaalaaPocket#MediBaunaa#cw blood#mochadoodles#instead of using my art skills for good i use it to make vile reverse 1999 rarepair fanart#enjoy#the kb one is cleaner bc i like her better tysm#im cooking except the kitchen is on fire#up next: bloody verneider because im evil#i literally speedran the medpoc one 😭#medpoc girlkissing collection#implied that medpoc is High off their meds#reverse 1999#i can fix them (yearning for a person no longer there)#i want to give kaalaa baunaa the happiness she RIGHTFULLY deserves but the horrors intrigued me and took me away like an abraxas @ regu#the homoeroticism of staining your loved / adored one with contaminated blood knowing you're probably doing the same to her psyche#oh she def cant fix them but CAN THEY FIX HER??? CAN THEY???#most would say no but hear me out#*proceeds to not elaborate*#nblw turbulence in girlkiss realm#will happen again#sorry chat its almost 12 midnight the rot is taking over#im sorry to anyone who had to witness this 😻#MediKaal

essay that i've had a month to do is now due in 13 hours and i've still done NOTHING. i need to be put down like a sick dog. someone do it for me. the essay or the euthanising, i don't mind.
#ranting in the tags#ive done NOTHING for months#i got taken off ALL my meds whilst the 'readjusted them'#but it turns out the readjustment was just... taking me off of them. because i get private hrt. so i need to get them privately?????#doesnt even make sense 😖😖😖#and i am too depressed to fight them !!! so i have to wait until my nan is here. she can fight them. i cant.#but alas ! i have been doing nothing but rotting#and the uni wont give me an extension and told me to just use my bursary to get the meds#which yk.... KINDA valid? but also like no that's for living costs and also waitlists and referrals and diagnoses#they cant just GIVE me private meds#and i SHOULDNT HAVE TO 😖😖😖😖😖😖😖#i am one minor inconvenience away from stopping T#one more minor inconvenience away from hitting up the T market#ANYWAY! rant over#someone give me essay motivation

slightly late for work, vivdly remember i put my adhd meds in A Special Place last night so i Don't Forget to take them before work (usually work from home but leaving the house today) (higher stakes) but now i can't find them (should have seen this coming) but that's okay that's cool i have a bottle of backup meds in one of my bags (i know myself) except i can't find it in any of my bags but not to worry! i have a second bottle of backup backup meds in a cabinet for dire situations like this (i know myself) but ah. by talos this can't be happening
#& i was already late because i got up realized i dont have time to wash my hair but wanted to take a quick shower#stepped into the shower & immediately started to wash my hair#like man. who has my one braincell rn & when do i get it back#cant make this up#eventually found the first bottle of backup meds#they need to invent adhd meds that follow you around#i really wonder where the other two bottles are#i'm glad i had to search for them though because the three Important Things i need for work are 1) meds 2) work laptop 3) headphones and i#also had a moment last night of 'OH almost forgot i will need headphones man it would have sucked if i hadn't remembered'#so this morning headphones were checked off in my brain because i Remembered i will need them so i surely packed them right#except i found them on my desk charging when i was searching for my meds because apparently i also thought 'oh do i need to charge them'#& did that instead. aaaaaaahhhhhhh

Current count since I last slept: 41 hours.
I think I've capped out at 46 before, I'm not sure because my worst fit of insomnia had me in no position to check times. But I'll say 46. So if we hit 48 we're setting personal records!
#i do not want to actually be awake#my body just physically cant process stress#'oh zee why cant you be in a car?'#this. this is why#and you might think: 'oh this cant be because you were in a car!'#it is. it so totally is#and also stress#but mostly i blame being in a car#everytime i get in a car i get sick#motion sickness vertigo dizziness insomnia#my body is violently against automobiles#which is actually so annoying because i finally own one of my dream cars#and wanna know when i last drove my baby?#A YEAR AND FIVE FUCKING MONTHS AGO#Also please for the love of fuck do not suggest anything to help me sleep#i. have. tried. it.#when im dealing with insomnia like this the only way it stops is preceiotion strength meds or my body calms itself the fuck down#no teas no melatonin no meditating no lettuce water no hot milk NOTHING will work#and also even prescription strength meds dont always work when its like this i have woken up like two hours after taking some b4#when my body doesnt want to sleep it will not sleep#you can tell how little sleep im running on based on how unhinged these tags are

the woes are upon me and i know there are bigger priorities in the world atm but if anybody wants to just toss a coin to their little loser and add a character name with it i'll make you some of my geometric ms paint art like this 👍 no pressure
#commissions#i just dont have a car for the trip i am supposed to make to see my fiancee#because kia completely and utterly fucked me over#some of my meds are in that car too which i will probably be able to get but i am having OTHER stress induced medical problems as a result#i cannot reschedule the trip#so im possibly going to have to spend 6x as much money for flights that take literally the same amount of time#and i literally dont know how much money is currently in my bank account because since my mom died my bank kinda fucked me over too#i also have to worry about getting new glasses because mine are so outdated i really cannot see for shit#im scheduling this instead of posting it because my circumstances might change between now and later tomorrow#but plane tickets are getting pricier by the day so i cant wait forever

i want to say smthn but honestly no matter how i phrase it i just fear i'll sound bad/condescending which is not the intent. still i'll try n say something
basically it all comes down to a post i made eons ago; everyone feels like the odd one out. everyone. everyone feels like they're being pushed out by the popular people, whoever they may be. we all struggle with fear of being shut out and discarded. i'm not saying these fears aren't founded in reality; i'm just saying the feeling is universal for everyone in varying degrees
literally all we have is each other as human beings. this is supposed to be a space for us to enjoy a viddy game. the sooner we kill the us VS them mentality the better; the sooner we open up sympathetic dialogue the better. this is not aimed at anyone in particular, this is not vagueposting specific people, this is my plea for people to realise we're all in this space together
#maybe i sound dramatic idk. my heart's been sad.#i wont private but after the so many'th anxiety spike of seeing people i care about/admire vague abt each other or each other's post i have#considered it#but at the end of the day this blog is for me! this is the place i made to post my stuff for fun#and ill keep doing that#ill keep sharing work i come across because at the end of the day i love this game and the people who enjoy it as well#and those who make stuff to share that joy#head is loopy from meds but. <3. love you all#honeydew talks#take care and if you cant; im always open for a chat

Finished Chapter 2 of Higurashi like last month but I gotta make some quick art. My Mion.
I have no idea what that doll would look like but the Beato plush lives in my mind rent free.
Is this is a bad time to say that I relate to Mion by having responsibilities thrust upon me by a young age because i am a girl? Idk, we will see when I finish Higurashi, but for now,,, man Mion, i know i couldnt fix you but i would try.
#higurashi#higurashi spoilers#higurashi mion#higurash no naku koro ni#sorry for typos#im kinda drunk rn#unfoutulantly thats what no medication does to someone#gotta silence my thoughts somehow :(#adhd is hell and i hate that i cant make as much art as i want#this is how i got through teen years now that i think about it but it all crashes evntuallly#maybe ill actually be put on meds made for it eventually#but unfourtunalty evrey NP wants to rule out depression and anxiety but bro its the adhd causing it pls#take a wild guess how i mananged to not get a diagnosis until i was 22#hint#its because i wasnt allowed to not be a woman of the house#my male family memembers are allowed to have visible adhd symtpoms#meanwhile i got beat if i forgot since i am a woman and i had to make sure everything ran smoothly#sorry for the rant i just feel so much with the idea of responsbility assigned by birth like mion#my art#digital drawing#digital painting#digital art

I need to stop watching medical dramas. It hurts to see doctors trying everything they can to figure out someone's symptoms when that really doesn't happen in the real world.
#like. shoutout to my primary who has actually done research into treatments for me#but hes a PA with limited time and resources (we are in a fairly rural area and my clinic serves a ton of people)#so like. referals go nowhere and my symptoms are still mostly unexplained#especially when like. doctors dont expect to fix you?#idk when i saw my neurologist for the first time i tried to give him an overview of all my symptoms and he said#verbatim#'well you cant expect me to fix all that'#and i was. idk. shocked#i wasnt even trying to get him to 'fix' me i was just trying to give some context and history#yknow. the thing necessary to diagnose people#but instead he misdiagnosed me and put me on meds that didnt work and suggested experimental brain surgery for a disorder i dont have#same thing happened with my pulmonologist. i explained my symptoms (because HE ASKED ME TO) and then refused to take them into account#its not every doctor. but its every specialist ive seen. every single one#and its frustrating#like. i just dont have answers or adequate treatment or anything#and my health keeps getting worse#idk man#disability sucks

Having demand avoidance in a medical setting is literally hell. Like, patient autonomy is already absolute ass. It's only made worse when doctors CONSISTENTLY tell you what to do and act like you HAVE to do it instead of consulting with you first like normal fucking people.
#also “”“”medical necessity“”“” is NOT an excuse here.#ive been to plenty of doctors that thoroughly discuss a range/timeline of treatment and explain it IN DETAIL before saying “thats what i-#-recommend“ instead of just going ”okay were gonna do this. im gonna explain the prep to you a mile a minute and if you have any follow up-#-questions im just gonna repeat part of my spiel with no clarification. and if i cant answer your questions too bad :)“#not to mention how many doctors just force you to do things that WILL NEVER WORK#like one therapist tried forcing me to do emdr when i was only IN HER TOWN for the summer and i had no internet access when i was at college#im pretty sure emdr takes several weeks to work and i did not have that kind of time available to me. i couldnt just drop out bc of ptsd.#also the number of times ive had to decline an ESI is stupid. I've already had 2! they didn't work! i had a bad reaction to the meds!#why am i being forced to do it again?#also back surgery. i cant do that because i am a white trash rural kid and our home (which we built ourselves) CANNOT be accessible enough#for spinal surgery recovery. but i went to the surgeon and he was like “thats valid! and also surgery literally wouldnt help you so idk why-#-they sent you here.“ : l It's cool to be right all the time lol#its like. no wonder i developed medical demand avoidance after so much traumatizing and malpracticy bullshit in my life#demand avoidance#medical demand avoidance#chronic illness burnout#chronic illness#chronic pain#medical tw#ptsd#disability#medical neglect#medical trauma#vent#this might be too personal. if i do delete it ill have it rb'd on my boar-deer-whitetrashbutterfly blog first#idk i just havent really been able to find anyone else talking about this specific effect of being chronically ill/disabled.
