the problem with mental illness and going to the doctor is that medical professionals will often write ur physical symptoms off as a product of anxiety when its like. im TELLING you, ive had a specific pain over a period of time thats consistent and NOT going away. you cant keep chalking it up to “oh youre just over-worrying”. and this is an even bigger issue when youre black because ppl ALREADY dont take our ailments seriously.
