#doctor thinks it's my anxiety

Bought Tetris on Steam about 12 hours ago. Apparently I then played it for 10 of those hours. I am the calmest I've been in weeks.

You'd think the worst part of being immunocompromised would be catching All The Things, but honestly, the actual worst part is not being able to visit very sick loved ones because they're afraid of you catching the sickness :(

I think when I was 15 i was genuinely experiencing psychosis it’s kinda fucked up nobody did anything about that like my ass should’ve been getting medicated or smth

I do think that’s what made my mom start taking my issues more seriously tho so at least there’s that lol

another year, still drawing people doing things to each other. you might or might not know this but i started working as a doctor this year and i'm happy/proud it hasn't kept me from still drawing my silly little fictional guys. it's not much but it's honest work.

thank you to everyone who's liking, reblogging and commenting on my art! it means everything to me <3

Hey y'all! It's weird question time again! So that doctor I mentioned before that I wanted to make a dog plushie for because he has improved my quality of life so much* (and also inexplicably reminds me of like a greyhound or a borzoi) is my endocrinologist And, as my endocrinologist, he recommended back in December that I go see a rheumatologist, because he thinks I might have rheumatoid arthritis**. The staff at his office have been trying to get a rheumatologist for four months now. I know that, because yesterday I got a call from the rheumatologist's office and the nurse I spoke to said "Your doctor's office has been very...persistent about getting you this appointment" So now I kinda want to get something for the whole office? But idk what I could get them or make them. Like, in non-medical contexts I'd make cookies or brownies for a group, but I can't bring cookies to a doctor's office. I mean, I guess I could, but if I were them I would definitely not eat them, and I run the risk of allergy-ing a fellow patient. Is there like a gift basket or gift card or thank you card or something you can recommend?

*I mean he maybe should have found a diagnosis before offering me steroids about it but the low dose steroids have made such a HUGE difference in my quality of life I am thrilled with Tennessee's weird (to me, with my experience in California) medical practices **I don't think I have enough joint pain for it to be rheumatoid arthritis, but he's like the fourth doctor to tell me it's weird that when I got hives they usually started on joints, so maybe I'm wrong? I have the weird version of enough medical things that at this point I would not be surprised if I had Weird Rheumatoid Arthritis.

so my dash has been filled with a shit ton of disability and chronic illness/pain posts and i am realizing that my hands always hurting and my ribs hurting and my neck hurting and my knees or elbows hurting isn't normal? but i grew up in a house with a mom with severe kidney and thyroid issues and a dad who fractured his spine trying to lift a 60 gallon fish tank, so they're both always in pain, and therefore my pain is incomparable to theirs and therefore largely ignored. and now i'm just sat like, "wow, constant pain is not a normal thing. huh. wow."

everything is still so good!!! heartbeat is super fast and strong and is now firmly in the upper band of healthy/normal. behold the little seahorse (now less seahorse-y because its tail is almost gone) floating around in there attached to its little yolk sac inner tube!!

The disconnect between what family doctors tell you to visit the ER for and what the ER doctors want you there for is such a recipe for embarrassment.

my disability application is 90% processed... fingers crossed they approve me. i submitted a form for an appointment with a psychiatrist so hopefully i can get one sooner than later. it was my homework from my doctor to get into it because everything i've tried medication wise for my anxiety doesn't work and it's been like 5 or 6 different meds in the last year ;-;

/// health anxiety tw

when you know the best thing to do is "lay down in the dark with your eyes closed and wait for your meds to kick in" but you start getting paranoid because what if this time you just. die. (no it doesn't have to make sense)

My parents are on a particularly vile side of conservative propaganda tonight and I just. Can’t.

Wow I really don't want to go back.
