JK Rowling has basically become Dolores Umbridge, so obsessed with her deeply prejudiced perspective that she’ll go to any length to remain convinced of her own righteousness, no matter what harm it causes.
when they tell you you have a thyroid problem and that's why you've been feeling so awful, but you're also feeling awful because elsewhere a different doctor has diagnosed you with 2 more psychiatric disorders than the ones you knew about already. it's sortof funny, at least.
every 2 minutes I look up whatever chemical that's in front of me from cosmetics or meds and 'link to hypothyroidism', and every time there's at least a semi-probable link.
Formaldehyde, PFOA, soy isoflavones+ clonazepam are all possible triggers.
It's tricky to be calm about it
@fiadhaich_ yeah, there’s a huge difference between my old GP surgery which is right in the middle of a tech & law firm area of the city and my local surgery who accept medical cards.. it’s a fucking capitalist free-for-all out there otherwise
Pandemic has caused me to change GPs, since my previous one was going to charge *over* €100 more for some simple bloods & a heart rate check than another place near me, incl. costs for an obligatory phone consultation that I don’t need bc an external psych is assessing results
Not sure how a huge global recession spurred the advent of charging people 40 euro to tell a doctor over the phone that you will be getting a blood test from a nurse at his surgery in a few day’s time but sure look
went from cackling about this to havin a smol cry that my partner would leave me for someone else bc I perceive myself as annoying when I complain about things (stupud London) and somehow I have the neck to say that I probably wouldn’t meet the diagnostic criteria for BPD anymore
he might be on the bag the entire time. or else he’s just a camp man in his fifties who s l o w l y over-enunciates because he still doesn’t get that microphones are now rly advanced in quality & will still pick up what you say even if you’re not shouting a bit all the time
I am at a 6am meeting with a team who are based all over the world and the one other Irish guy will not shut the fuck up or learn how to mute his mic when he’s using a fucking nespresso machine or making himself muesli and just goddamn it Ger sort it out !
