Disabled fantasy: Being able to sit in the room with all the doctors who ever asked if you were maybe just making your symptoms up…while they experience your symptoms. And ask them if they’re making them up

    Currently on year 5 of a chronic injury that doctors have basically given up on and sent me to physical therapy for. I’m a year into that with little to no results. Eventually they’ll give up on that and send me to a specialist that shoves a very large needle deep into me every 2-3 months to inject numbing agent to just permanently numb it for the rest of my life.

    I can’t tell you how many times I’ve imagined temporarily transferring the pain to the doctors or my friends/family so they can just fucking understand. Or how many times I’ve considered blowing my brains out.

    Enjoy your body while it’s young, folks. You’ll come to hate it eventually.
