u/ConfusedCoIlegeSimp

I love having a life but oh the height of my fame, I miss all y'all friends I had

All my research and i fell into the trap of wondering if we overpathologize, overdiagnose and entertain those who exaggerate and fake.

But thats stupid. I SHOULD KNOW, as a chronically ill person, queer and a POC I know in any other time of history i would cosplay as a straight able-bodied girl because that would be possible for me.

For a moment there I forgot that the reason diagnosis increases is because less people DIE, less people hide. Less people feel that it is better to go without help. And thats a good thing. But im stupid, and i know ill never truly dismiss a patient OTHER TAHN MYSELF. Me? I'm probably making everything up anyway.

The internalized ableism will outlive me I fear

Doctors and general ppl do not care for proper diagnostic procedure LIKE MOTHERFUCKER WHY DUD A DOCTOR DIAGNOSED U W A DIAGNOSIS OF EXCLUSION WITHOUT CHECKING IF U HAD SIMILAR CONDITIONS DO U WANNA DIE

so then I get mad for weeks

buT THIS ONE IS INCONVENIENT.

see normally my interests have been studied. However this time i acquired an interest in already new research i have developed the interest in something that is so obscure the obscure research researchers are not bothering to find stuff on that

HELL PPL IN THE COMMUNITY ARE DIVIDED ON IF PPL R J FAKING THEIR SYMPTOMS/ psychosomatic. Genuinely all my free time is going into this im legit at my job not working doing research instead.

tldr: tfw u get interested in a theory about a rarely diagnosed, highly stigmatized condition.

Holy this looks and feels right
