Being Ill…

Being afab and fem presenting in the medical system is literally fucking a nightmare. If my doctor had taken me seriously the FIRST TIME I came presenting symptoms four years ago?!?!? Probably wouldn’t be in this mess, but no. He’s more worried about my acne then the fact i can hardly breathe ✌️

It can sometimes feel like I’m a burden to my family. Almost as though my symptoms are causing them so much inconvenience and they don't understand why I can’t just get better? All this to say that if you’re struggling to get proper care you’re not alone. Your symptoms are valid and you don't have to explain yourself to anyone. Fuck the healthcare system, you know your own body. 🖤
