We all know the feeling...

When you've waited MONTHS to see a specialist and they spend the whole 15 minute appointment staring at their computer and suggesting you try this or that. But when a doctor (note the lowercase as a sign of disrespect for these physicians)Says my disability is CUREABLE!?

Stomach.... dropped

Mind.... shut down

Heart... aching and tight

Trust....broken

⭐️Overall rating: 3/10

at least I got my scopes done...

When faced with a diagnosis of chronic illnesses like POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), many patients encounter well-meaning but misinformed physicians. The journey to finding a supportive healthcare team can be long and disheartening. Patients may feel invalidated when doctors make uninformed suggestions about potential cures, such as attributing the condition to lifestyle changes like walking every day. It’s crucial to recognize the importance of physicians who acknowledge the complexities of chronic conditions rather than oversimplifying them. Building a relationship with a medical professional who genuinely understands your experiences can significantly impact your treatment journey. Advocacy and education about chronic conditions can also empower patients, providing them with the tools and knowledge needed to engage effectively with their healthcare providers. Remember, when searching for medical help, it's okay to seek second opinions and to question treatment suggestions that feel dismissive of your reality. Your health journey matters, and finding the right support is key to effective management.

Feeling Ungotten?

Today, was a rough one. I could barely open my eyes. I kept saying I got this, but I didn't have it. I was running 2 to 4 minutes later on every task. Finally, I prayed and said Lord, I give this day to you. I give you all of me. Truth is we never know what God is doing around us. We don'

Why did no one tell me how magical this feeling is

Love is the one thing I will always give freely, no matter how many times my heart breaks. There’s a saying: It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Imagine loving someone so freely, so fiercely, so loudly, so purely—and imagine them loving you back. What a beautiful gif

why you are feeling lonely in a group

for a really long time I would feel lonely, but not when I’m alone, it would actually be when I’m around people. this is very odd to me because it would be around people that I would call my friends or family as I later comes to realize it was not the right people for me and I decided to let a lot

Feeling lost and don’t know what to do.

I’m hoping that this can be a safe space for me to just… vent. I’m 30 years old and I genuinely feel so lost in life. I don’t feel pretty anymore. I don’t take care of myself as I should. I feel like I’m failing as a mom. I don’t have any friends. Some days I just want to lie in bed all day and do
