@Imani_Barbarin when people say "it's only a short walk" when I ask how we're planning on getting somewhere I definitely can't easily walk to

My GP prescribed me a medication last week that I picked up today and there was a little note attached saying that before I order this again they wanna have a review with me that must happen no later than March 2020

Who's gonna tell them?

[GhoastNotCooked @ToastNotCooked]

I still have things I havent even told them about because even pre-pandemic I didn't have it in me to fight every single day and sometimes it's genuinely easier to live with the problem than make it worse by fighting for a solution

Thing to NEVER say to someone who lost a pregnancy: 1. You can always try again! 2. God needed another angel in heaven 3. At least you have other children 4. Absolutely anything related to their views or your views about reproductive rights 5. Anything related to “God’s will”

This needs to stop. Remote and algorithmic proctoring software needs to be shut down, across the board. There are no ethical or compassionate uses of this technology.

One of my medications has the side effect of being an antidepressant and I am thriving https://t.co/MbPnmvNTRb

@Colonelblighty Thank you! I would have pushed in this appointment but she sent me for every test I needed anyway, so I saved my fighting for when I have the results to back me up too 😂 if she wasn't gonna test I'd have pushed for them though

"Some doctors would call this ehler-danlos type three but I don't think you need a diagnosis since it won't affect your care" 🙃

[Emma 💛 @diabeticemma]

@Colonelblighty Thank you so much!! I'm really glad I now have proof that it would help so if I'm taken off this medication I can still make a case for antidepressants

[Emma 💛 @diabeticemma]

@Colonelblighty Plus every time I ask for help with depression I'm told to self refer to the therapy wait list rather than getting medication. I do love therapy but I'm already in therapy and I know I would benefit from antidepressants too but doctors don't believe me since I'm not diagnosed

[Emma 💛 @diabeticemma]

I'm at the healthiest mentally that I've ever been! It hit me yesterday that I've finally made it through and I sobbed with happiness for an HOUR. I could have felt this good years ago if doctors would just officially diagnose me with stuff

[Emma 💛 @diabeticemma]

I had this happen with depression too like drs said they know I have it but didnt wanna put it in my file for whatever reason and I've only managed to get antidepressants by accident as it's a side affect of meds I'm on for something else
