Sleepy Boi, 6 months

Rigby is 6 months and quite a handful, but he loves a long hug and gives sweet kisses.

Why Filing Grievances Matters More Than You Think (Especially for Chronic Illness Patients)

I want to say something that I wish someone had told me years ago:

​

Filing grievances is not being dramatic.

It’s not being a “problem patient.”

It’s not complaining.

It’s accountability.

​

For those of us with chronic illnesses, we deal with:

providers who don’t read our charts

specialists who dismiss our symptoms

offices that ignore documentation

unsafe medication decisions

ADA/accommodation failures

gaslighting, minimization, and “it’s just anxiety”

long-term harm from being brushed off

​

And most of the time, we just swallow it because we’re exhausted, sick, and trying to survive.

​

But here’s the truth:

Insurance companies and oversight agencies rely on grievances to identify dangerous providers.

​

If no one reports them, nothing changes.

Not for us, and not for the next patient.

​

A grievance creates:

a formal record

a required investigation

documentation in the provider’s file

a paper trail that can’t be ignored

leverage for future care

protection for other patients

​

It forces the system to acknowledge what happened.

​

You don’t need to write a novel.

You don’t need to be perfect.

You just need to submit it.

​

If you’ve been dismissed, harmed, or denied appropriate care — you’re allowed to file.

​

You’re allowed to advocate for yourself.

You’re allowed to hold the system accountable.

​

And honestly?

You deserve that.

I did a thing

I'm still getting used to it. I think I made the right choice. I'm ready to be the person I was always meant to be and this was one of the first steps for me.

My Friend's Dad TW: Suicide

This is my friend's Dad. These are the details she told me:

"He passed at 29 not sure exactly what happened but my mom and him got in a fight at the cabin I guess he locked her in the bathroom and she jumped out the window and when she came back, she found that he had shot himself and my black lab Nelly"

She also included that his own father was quite physically abusive towards him. You can see the exhaustion in his face as a kid even. Very sad.

She just told me that she always wondered what was going through his mind while he was taking his own life.

I was wondering if there were any messages.

Thank you for your support.

New Family Member

Rigby is a miniature pinscher pug mix and about 6 months old. His little tail is curled like a pug! And he has these silly long grasshopper legs. We're just getting settled in. He's currently taking his first nap, which is well deserved. He just left his mama and 2 litter mates, so he needs some extra love right now.

My first Latuda "meal"

Wish me luck! Starting my Latuda journey tonight.

Nervous, but hopeful. 350 calories in a nutterbutter pack and a single thin lemon Oreo.

I'm also titrating down from Auvelity, so here's to no brain zaps!🍻
