i told my mom that i think i'm getting ulcers again, and her response was "Well, why is it happening? What did you do to make them come back?"
and that is her approach to health and wellness in a nutshell. "If there's something wrong with you, then it was your fault"
#this is why i lived with untreated ulcers for 3 years! because i thought it was my fault! that i was simply eating the wrong foods!#me: ''ugh i have a migraine'' my mom: ''and why is that?''#meanwhile. IRONICALLY. when the surgeon told her POINT BLANK that ''the typical American diet'' (ie: ''you eat too much#junk food'') is the reason for 95% of all gallbladder removals... that information was not retained at all. refusal to acknowledge.#a quick recap: ulcers? my fault/what do i have to be stressed about anyway. migraines? you're dehydrated/it's for attention.#allergies? everyone sneezes from time to time. depression? ~iT's aLl iN yOuR hEaD~ and ''you're as happy as you make yourself''#deep sigh#throwback to the gastroenterologist looking at me like i was fucking stupid when i got the endoscopy and tearfully said ''i thought#it was my fault'' that i got ulcers
