any doctor who disses me (even internally) for looking up my symptoms is a bad match for me

unfortunately i can’t always replace them and i’m stuck with what i got. so i have to just pretend and stroke their ego to try to get any help at all. it sucks.

i’m really glad you have your sisters place to take a break, i’m so glad

i get the food thing, i’m in a similar situation haha. and being bored of food can be really frustrating and kinda distressing to me, or idk about distress but, just makes everything bad.

and yeah, unmet needs suck πŸ’›πŸ’›

good vacuums are hard to find i hear

i have wood floors so i only have my tiny vacuum for bed crumbs

there is a trend recently for β€œslow vacuuming” and people just vacuum very slowly and it picks up so much stuff haha. tis the season of vacuuming i suppose

oh maybe i am wrong mix them up?

no i goggle and it seems both of them unfortunately but squarespace is much better about it than substack so that is nice

and i don’t judge anyone for using what they have to use to get their words out. but idk that the companies will do more. wish they did tho

it sucks being so out of it and brain foggy that i can’t think of ways to relieve the pain and flared symptoms

it sucks a lot

but it is nice that i remembers at all
even if it taking some days of bad nights πŸ˜…

watching sub par anime bc i hurt a lot and it’s just filler noise and the right animes for filler noise isn’t always the best quality anime

we do what pain brain wants

13.03.2026 12:20 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

yes and also the other way around

where i have pain and doubt pain meds will touch it and i take them and poof they work lol
that’s the good flip side of it the unexpected relief

usually it’s the opposite tho
