Anybody else ever realize that you've had symptoms of some health issue your entire life and just never considered that it... Might be a sign of that health issue? Like wow good thing I don't have [Symptoms Syndrome] that must suck. Now time to go back to my completely unrelated [symptoms of syndrome]
#i just fucking realized that i have acid reflux#after an entire fucking lifetime of... having acid reflux#i dont get it often enough for it to be gerd or anything but like#i had HEARD of acid reflux before and i knew what it was#and every time i heard of it i was like wow that sounds like it really sucks good thing thats never happened to me#now if youll excuse me i need to go back to having the exact same symptoms of that thing but in a totally normal and unrelated way#same thing when i realized that ive had asthma symptoms pretty much my whole life#like wow a breathing disorder that makes it hard to breathe and you get episodes that make it harder to breathe and you need an inhaler?#that sounds rough#good thing i only have difficulty breathing and sometimes i cough so hard i cant breathe#and its no big deal anyways bc i found out that this over the counter inhaler makes me stop coughing when i have an episode :)#like...........#how#i think its just that these are things that i always thought of as happening to Other People#like how could i have asthma when im not a kid in a movie whos fine for years until one day i have an asthma attack—whatever that means—#and my parent figure has to rush over to give me my inhaler that they held onto all this time in a dramatic display to show that they care#how could i have acid reflux when its described as being way worse than normal and the things i experience are normal—right?#what other things am i missing just bc i never connected the dots lmao....#rambling

Cut/Paste & Share #TrumpCare WELL...I'm fucked. I suffer from Bipolar Disorder, EDNOS, and Migraines not to mention the side effect disorders that come along with those such as Depression, Insomnia, Anxiety, etc. I also may have a fucking cavity which I don't know whether it would count as "tooth disease" but I wouldn't be surprised. If I can't afford my medical coverage for the main health conditions of mine above then I will die. I'm not being dramatic. I'm not being cheap. I'm not being lazy or complaining to complain. I am scared. I am terrified that I will lose my already expensive coverage and have to suffer through my conditions until they kill me. Migraines alone cripple me. I was just in Urgent Care on Monday because my refill for my migraine medication didn't get authorized yet. I had a migraine for over 30 hours and even after medical attention it wasn't relieved fully. I was reduced to a body on the bathroom floor vomiting until blood came out. Without my medication I would end up in the hospital multiple times a month. If that were to be the case I would still be in debt because ER bills are ridiculous. That's why I have health coverage. So I can be covered. If I don't have access to meds for my Mental Health Disorders I will end up killing myself. Whether I want to or not. My body is the way it is because I was born that way. I don't have these conditions because I did drugs, or suffered some life changing trauma or anything like that. I just came out this way. No choices I made caused this. I DID NOT FUCKING CHOOSE THIS. So why should I and others who fall under the list above suffer and be neglected, abandoned, refused, denied, and left to fucking die. What the fuck? I'm crying. I am scared. I am terrified. I can't handle this shit....I can't.... I did not vote for him. I did not vote for this country to go to shit. The Declaration of Independence is supposed to protect "Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness". This bill will literally LITERALLY kill people. This does not protect life. The 14th Amendment of the Constitution is supposed to do something similar by not depriving anyone of Life, Liberty, and Property. HOWEVER, those words were written lifetimes ago. They were written by people who thought slavery, and conquering, and taking what they thought they were somehow entitled to. They did whatever they want while writing these laws and declarations and bills. If people care about these words so much then pay attention to what they were intended to supposedly fight for. WE THE PEOPLE. Not one really rich person and his handful of string pulling pocket people. Help us. If you are going to be the president HELP US. HELP THE PEOPLE. Whether we voted for him or not he is an entire nation's fucking president. Do what you need to do to better the fucking country instead of laying out words that will literally kill your nation's people. If this bill does what everyone says it will then I will die, and if anyone wonders why. This is why. This bill and those who support and created it.
