Someone once asked...

“I've been medically neglected a lot in my life. It wasn't my guardians, I just kept getting awful doctors/nurses that would neglect me, often to the point of physical harm. I found out I was intersex recently and I'm going through a natural second puberty and having a bunch pf medical problems with it and im getting zero care. I had to literally beg to get one blood test and ultrasound, which are very shallow screenings for what's going on. More doctors refused to help me because "I had already had testing" even though it didn't clarify anything. I have complete health insurance where I live. I just feel like I have no chance to get any proper medical care again and have multiple break downs a week over it. Some of my body swells and hurts if I get too hormonal/emotional because my hormones and body are so messed up so I try not to think about how messed up it is. Some of my abdomen can't have pressure on it ever because it'll hurt. I'm not looking for medical advice or anything, I just need to vent how upsetting it is to not be able to get medical care. It's so surreal, like what I've written sounds like a body horror scp. I relate to scps sometimes and in my head I phrase my problems like an scp article to cope with everything.”

Someone answered with kindness...

I can relate. I am not like you, but what I see is the doctor does not take me seriously. Here is what I got from one of the doctors. If you have a problem, keep visiting continuously. Doctors, initially prescribe a base treatment and if you do not go back, it is as if it was treated. If you really have the pain, keep going back. And they have no way other than to take you seriously. Alternatively, exercise. My issue resolved once I started exercising.

How to deal with lonelinies as homegirl who is introvert and has no friends and is out of college and allI have a friend who is genuinely nice to me in certain ways. She trusts me with all her secrets and considers me someone who understands her. However, sometimes I feel like she doesn't value me as much as she values other people. For example, whenever I post an Instagram story, she barely interacts with it, but when others post, she likes and comments on almost everything. I know it might sound trivial, but it makes me feel overlooked. She also makes fun of me about a boy I like, especially because he likes her, and although she claims it's all in good fun, her jokes sometimes genuinely hurt me. I also feel like she subtly pulls me down at times. Recently, my best friend and I started talking again after a period of not communicating, and this friend was also talking to him. Since their conversation was about me, I requested her to share their chats with me. I asked repeatedly, but she left me on seen and continued sending me reels as if nothing had happened. What confuses me is that she's often understanding, helps me financially sometimes, and shares almost everything with me, yet I still feel an uncomfortable energy in this friendship. I can't tell whether I'm overthinking, whether she's pretending to value me, or whether there's something about our friendship that I'm not seeing. I just feel like she prioritises other people over me, while keeping me around as someone she can trust and rely on.I m soo hard to love
