Figuring out chronic illnesses. If you’ve got something other than the “basics” like diabetes or arthritis, it’s a shitshow that can take years, a dozen or more doctors, tens of thousands of dollars, and endless medical tests.
Agree, except for the tens of thousands of dollars thing
Ah. You must not be in the US.
Agreed. I’ve spent like half my life on this stuff, and nowadays medical stuff is practically all I do.
Coming to terms that maybe that I don’t have as much going wrong with me mentally as I thought. I went into therapy for credential reasons, to say that I have issues than what I see everyone else do and that’s self-diagnose themselves. Well, I know that I do have some things wrong with me but the severity isn’t as grand as I thought.
It’s good because maybe there’s a chance here that I can try to manage all of this, without being drugged up.
The bad news is, is that, there’s been so much destruction in my life due to these issues that I thought were severe, then having to explain who remains with me about what’s going on, what’s been going on .etc
There’s just so much exposition and everyone I know has the attention span of a housefly.
Adulthood
The never ending, balancing act between everydayness, health and self-actualization.
