I could also call myself a cunt, but what problems does that solve?

Says the person that calls mental ill people crazy, says the person that can't acknowledge that there are waiting lists, says the person that disregards any experience that isn't their own, says the person that claims to be a therapist yet has no empathy/understanding/compassion towards others, etc etc.

It's hilarious how you utterly avoid everything and don't process information, likely the root of your problem.

If I could have solved my problem with reading a book I would have, but my short term memory at times is rather iffy.
What magical place do you come from where people don't have to wait for public health care? In Ontario, Canada there are extensively long waiting lists for mental health care hospital programs. It…

Sometimes mildly saving the completely crazy people is good enough. It's not perfect, but when you've been a waiting list for 9 months, and find out you still need to wait another 6 months for treatment, I'll take the pills. It might be bourgeois of me, I might be drunk or high, but I'll take it rather than on a…

Admittedly, it went against my better judgement to date. I had intended to take 1 year off and made it about 5 months. I was really taken at the time, which really surprised me, because I hadn't connected with anyone in that way before. And you are right about the therapy and relationships, my previous relationship…

Honestly, I've been treated so poorly I am currently in the process of being treated for ptsd from all their fuck ups. Rationally I know all doctors aren't like that, but part of me needs to protect myself from that happening again, which means I just avoid the problem, because I'd rather die than go through all of it…

Me too.

I don't think much has changed. At least in my experience, doctors really don't give a shit if you are menstruating 10% of your blood volume or in horrible pain or if they caused you horrible pain by giving the wrong or no pain medication. Clearly, I imagined it with my tiny woman brain and I am delicate flower so…

My brother talked about seeing a documentary about the early testing of hormonal birth control in his ethics for engineers. He said it was the most horrible thing he'd ever seen, and couldn't believe how awful doctors where to their test subjects who would say things like "I just can't stop bleeding."

Did anyone else go to a stupid elementary school that said ladies shouldn't do triple jump because their uterus would fall out. I did! I hopped, skipped and jumped over and over, and alas I still have the miserable thing.

The first show I co-curated opened today and I felt no joy.

It gets worse but for different reasons.. I'm sorry that happened to you. Bloody hell. It's awful and preventable. It is so damn frustrating when you can feel that something is wrong and no one takes it seriously. I started to wonder if I really was making a big deal out of nothing.

Doctors thought the same thing about me, that my numbness in my left arm and left side of my face, loss of 95% of my vision (it went blue), were migraines. It wasn't until I got a blood test that they realized I had sever anaemia (2 iron and 58 haemoglobin) and I wasn't actually getting enough blood to my brain. I…

It's pretty awful. I keep explaining "But I have a Masters degree! And teach college."

Do you get the one when you are sent back to HS because apparently your other education/job was a horrible clerical error?

Let's see here

The whole 'women felt more shame' bugs me. I'm also that rare person that meets a weird proportion of bad medical professionals. One apologized to me that they were 'sorry I felt that way' and I tearfully snapped "I didn't imagine or feel that they did the wrong procedure, it happened. It was humiliating when their…
