#I need medical opinions

[spoonietimelordy]

Like just so we're clear because that's my limite: if you think that people who don't want to be pathologised are fascist, just block me. Like block me right now. Those newly diagnosed autistic people who claim that, have visibly never interacted with non-audhd neurodivergent people and it's clear. You don't have to be high functioning to not identify with the pathology framework, just look at the madpride mouvement for god sake.

#that's who aspi-supremacist are #they're fascist #they're fascists who think that some autistic people are better than others #dont you dare compare the social model of disability to their superiority complex #(yes i re-downloaded tiktok for 1min #and delated it just after #i need to see what people's answers were) #yes i'm still really made at where the autistic community is going #you can want to be cure #you can want treatment (i do to for some stuff!) #but you can't force people to want that for themselves too #disableing the reblogs because this was an emotion post #not a well thought out one #so i dont want it to spread #i have written better and more nuanced posts about my opinions on the different models of disability #this one was just pure rage #and stend by it #but dont take it to mean that I'm hating on people who do prefer the medical model for themselves #because i'm not

oh god watching I, Borg after watching all of Voyager and Picard is much more painful actually.

i also don't think it ever really occurred to me how instrumental Beverly was in making the Enterprise crew see Hugh (and the rest of the Borg) as people (also obviously Geordi was too but i guess i just erased Beverly from this episode even though she was the one who literally forced the Enterprise to bring Hugh aboard and not leave him to die). i really wish Beverly got to have a proper scene with Seven in Picard s3 given that she was literally the first person to not just see the Borg as a weaponized object.

also like? i imagine in the gap between tng era and picard era Beverly would have been involved in advocating for xB rights – both legal and medical – and would have reconnected with Hugh and helped him on the Artifact while doing her whole freelance doctors without borders thing. anyways please hire me to write Star Trek novels i have so many good ideas.

#every time i watch tng i just go “wow okay Beverly Crusher is the most underrated character in Star Trek” #i need to think about her more #she's also by far the best doctor just in the way she aggressively cares about her patients and following medical ethics #and like. she's so cool. she's such a badass. i wish she got so much more to do #also gates just seems like a really lovely person #i'm in the tumblr minority opinion of actually liking picard s3 despite its flaws but i wish picard wasn't the main character #tng #star trek picard #beverly crusher #my posts

love house md as a dumpster fire trash medical drama show but istg they needed one (1) single person with chronic pain on the writer's team

#sharpie says shit #house md #hate crimes md #greg house #seriously he went off of vicodin to fkn ibuprofen??? #dude was consistently still in pain while on an opiate there's no way otc medication could put a dent in his pain levels #nvm the whole placebo morphine shot meaning 'the pain was in his head' #no SHIT the pain is in his head THAT'S WHERE ALL PAIN IS #and physical pain DOES RESPOND to placebos #sometimes even better than psychosomatic pain!!!!! #the writers found out what psychosomatic pain is and applied it to house when there's a clear physical source of the pain #also!!!! he wasn't addicted to vicodin (at least up til season 5-ish) #he was dependent! because it's pain medication and he hurts!!!! #you can tell because he didn't reach for vicodin at all post-ketamine until he felt his leg hurt again!!!! #if he was addicted (and not dependent) he would've wanted the vicodin even when he didn't need it for pain #anyways i have too many opinions on this dumb show #also there's probably a neuropathic component to the pain because they cut off a bunch of thigh muscle #which means there are neurons kinda just firing into nothing

i'm pretty sure i said this before but i'll say it again. my most controversial tf2 comics take: it should have been heavy who got shot, not medic

like....we already know how protective heavy is of Everyone he cares about. it's been solidly established. meanwhile medic only became relevant in the comics later down the line and even THEN his character was barely fleshed out compared to like. the rest of the mercs

showing how medic would have reacted if heavy got shot would be a great way to explore his character further but alas, that did not happen and i can only imagine what could have been

#tf2 medic #i do not post my opinions on main that much but i need to get this off my chest #i like the comics but this is the one part of it that i will nitpick #because it could've been a better way to flesh out his character #but they didn't do it #and that makes me sad

it is kind of. insane. that Izzie Stevens donated almost nine million dollars to the hospital she worked at to start a free clinic there. and then when she got cancer while being an employee at that hospital. she still ended up in 200,000 dollars in debt.

#her friends operating on her in the hospital she works that she also donated an insane amount of money towards providing options for people #in positions where they can't afford money and yet #though also her disappearing on alex is the way she did. beyond fucked up. ironic he did the same thing to his the next woman he fell in lo #with to get back together with her (bad decision) lol but they had to write him off somehow #also I'm sure the izzie thing gets solved via the clinic or pro bono or something i don't remember #it's just about the PRINCIPLE of it in the first place. come on. #greys #greys anatomy #incoherents #i think if you work for a hospital and then need medical treatment there the hospital insurance should cover all of it <3 my simple opinion #well also I think everyone should always have free access to good healthcare. but this is next level ridiculous. come on

pride this year for me has been about using my new position of power within my community to force change and acceptance. even subtly. i wore my bi flag pin this week, i have never come out to any of my co workers, i didn’t feel the need to. But now that I’m elected and have solidified myself for years as a fixture in my community I’m forcing everybody that comes into my rural office to ask a service of me to interact with somebody wearing a pride pin. You want me to issue your marriage license? Your dog license? Notarize your documents? You’re getting a bisexual doing those services. Ordering new indexing cards for our birth, death, and marriage index i’ve made the switch to more gender neutral language and options because that’s something I can control and it’s wonderful.

I looked the gay man that came in scared of his neighbor in the eyes and there was a mutual understanding between us that we knew of each other and I assured him of his safety with me, he spoke in codes I was only familiar with from my days years ago in drag clubs in a less liberal area of the country. We understood each other.  Yesterday, the first day of June, we hired not only a woman to an opening in a widely male dominated planning board, but an openly lesbian woman. 

Vermont may be more welcoming to LBGTQ+ folks compared to many areas of the united states, but being open can still feel scary to many. Some of us still feel the need to speak in code in our widely left leaning, blue voting communities which is in part due to how past people in similar positions of power to me have acted towards them. But i can help change that, even if just a little. If you’re LGBTQ+ you are safe in my office and safe in my care. 

#not dogs #pride #lgbtq+ #municipal stuff #do i dress in a way at work to sometimes make people that expect a certain type of dress from an elected person uncomfortable #yes #yes i do #i am of the opinion that marginalized groups need. i said NEED to feel safe in their municipal offices #which is very important imo in tiny white vermont #do we vote very left? yes #does that mean people are exempt and/or never engage in bigotry? nope #i see posts on r/vermont all the time of LGBT folk #looking to move and hoping its a liberal left leaning haven here #and sure yeah it can feel that way compared to other areas of the country #but you're naive if you think that a majority white farming state is going to be a left leaning monolith #we have extremely poor mental health care here and limited medical resources for trans folk btw unless you are close to MA in southern VT #or NH in eastern vt #but also eastern vt trends less left #so pick your poison #that being said i love it here and many of my LGBTQ friends from ohio who have visited note how different they feel they are treated here #(in a good way)

I've got enough followers and have been gaining them steadily enough to where I think I might put an "about me" link on my blog

#.bdo #I've been putting myself out there more often and being louder and more confident about my opinions #which means I'm fighting past my fear of social rejection a bit better #but my perfectionism/ocd is my biggest enemy #if I make any small mistake ever I won't stop thinking about it on a loop for days/months/years/decades #i can't let anyone perceive me wrong ever or they might think I'm a stupid irredeemable person #so I worry about that #I just realized that my seroquel muscle relaxers and anxiety medication all just kicked in on top of be being stoned af and I've just been #in these fuckin tags for a minute dude #who wants to hear a story #the first time I saw the ocean was behind the trump towers in sunny isles miami and then i immediately got so sick i almost died #about me: i don't receive child support because my babydaddy ran off to LA to become famous #and then ended up in prison for beating someone up with a skateboard #I need to go to sleep but I will fight these meds to keep myself awake i had a busy day and I want my chill time

The insomnia is back, which means so is the weird pins and needles/numbness in my fingers, and the shaking hands. And the nausea.

No migraine yet. So thats something.

If a mutual could break into my house and knock me out with a frying pan that would be wonderful 🩷

#its been #uh #2? #years since i saw a doctor #my reg doctor wanted me to see a therapist and that was expensive so i didnt and my anxiety and shame kept me from going back #SHE WAS GOING TO ASK WHY I DIDNT GO SEE ONE AND ID HAVE TO BE LIKE 'cause i dont like new people :(' #but the real problem here #is #the lack of sleeping #im not even tired OR sleepy #which is 2 different things #tired is 'my body wants to collapse but will not sleep' #sleepy is 'i can go to sleep!' #i am neither #the hallucinations havent started yet though so thats also a plus but we got at least 12 more hours before they usually show up #i am in pain tho and id like to not be my body apparently has a different opinion #anyways if you wonder why im not updating its because december and jan has just been back to back health crisis #and i barely get a day to recover between them #also videos. reading. audio does not work to put me to sleep or absolutely anything you can buy OTC in the USA #its basically wait and hope my body gives up eventually before i need to go to the ER for them to medically put me to sleep #which itll usually do. longest its held out is like 50 hours. which was miserable. -547/10 do not recommend #tw nausea #tw doctors #tw medical #tw insomnia #hope i got all the trigger warninga

[rin-enjoyer]

i go back and forth on rin's elemental nature. i really think fire suits her for thematic parallels to sasuke reasons and also i just think fire is cool and suits her whole. perception of her self and being weird about purpose deal. but water is also cool because i think rin deserves to bloodbend. elaine kind of beat symbolism where she controls other people to try and come to terms with how she can't control herself. the way to resolve this is to take the path of "nature can warp under stress or whatever" and let rin's og nature be fire, so she has that in the entire og timeline and also the team 7 sensei au (good because those are the ones where the sasuke parallels are the Strongest) and then in the akatsuki!rin au the whole almost dying thing somehow leads to her nature changing to water. which works well because that's the au where she is the weirdest about control and also masks. 👍

#i am going to write up the timeline for the rin team 7 sensei au at some point i just need. to work out a few kinks #(the kinks are kakashi. in case you were wondering) #i know EXACTLY how rin would work in that situation lmao it's actually really fun because somehow she gets. better ? mental health? #also sasuke FINALLY gets to be a medic. and rin gets to address her complex feelings towards being pushed into a medic role by the system #its soooo good and also i kill off minato <3 man gets drawn and quartered by iwa and he DESERVES it!!! i lvoe him #anyways kakashi does do the whole tsukuyomi gig but i have no idea why. lmao. im figuring it out #it's not that i can't picture him doing harm. it's that i can't picture him dropping the singleminded loyalty #maaaybe i could get him in on a misguided itatchi type beat? but even that doesn't make sense #because like. hold on stick with me. he's danzo. #yaknow the kind of guy who devotes his soul to the village and will go against pollicy if he thinks its necessary but is still 100% loyal #i will have to write the sakumo danzo kakashi essay sometime. because oh baby. #anyways if you've read this far and don't wanna burn me at the stake for weird danzo opinions feel free to chat me up about kakashi #i am. open to aid on my understanding of him. not dead set on much.

Electing to be insane on main: Merc Dick Edition

Soldier: most average out of all of them, 5 inches on the dot with almost nothing special save for the fact that he’s cut. Has a shag carpet from above his dick back to his ass.

Scout: slightly below average, but he’s got a little bit of a right curve. Cut. Some hair but it’s pretty pathetic

Engineer: slightly below average but fucking girthy. Won’t hit your cervix but will fill you up, y’know? Cut. Trimmed pubes, sometimes does them in a Texas shape.

Sniper: fattest pussy on the whole team without a shadow of a doubt. Not only does it grip, it also stink bark. Hairy.

Medic: this cunt has had more dicks than most people will ever see. Literally changes on a fly. Smallest he’s ever had was 3 inches and longest was 10. Has had both cut and uncut. Has had boydick AND girldick. Has also had pussy. On occasion had both at the same time. King. Only thing that doesn’t change is his 60’s pornstar bush.

Spy: surprisingly endowed. 6 1/2 but barely any girth to speak of. Uncut. Waxed clean.

Demo: My man’s rocking 7 inches and some decent girth. Has whatever the opposite of whiskey dick is. Uncut and has an absolute rug of pubes. Shockingly well maintained pubes at that. (He keeps the edges trimmed clean and does shave his ass on account of liking it eaten, one of those people who shaves like once a week)

Pyro: nobody knows what’s down there. Is it cock? Pussy? What it is is a fun little surprise. Most people agree they probably don’t have a bush on account of the fire, but that just adds to the surprise

Heavy: motherfucker is hung like a steel reserve can. Uncut and you’re EXTREMELY thankful for it. They say size doesn’t matter it’s just how you use it, and he has both. This man is like a fucking mink coat with how thick his bush is.

Sniper does NOT have a fat pussy what are u on about. He gives completely mediocre hole

#also anon's opinions do not represent my own not only does demo have a pussy but i've like Never given him a giant dick in my head #overall with him i feel like he should be able to Not need eight-pack abs and a giant dick for yall to acknowledge him as hot. imo #so i'm going against the grain here demo completely average or smaller dick medic dick the size of your forearm #and i need to fuck them equally bad. hope this helps #ask #anon #tf2 #mick dicks

Learning that you don't actually have to interrogate every single emotion the moment it shows up

#my therapist: you're quite a self aware person but what can happen with self aware people is you look for a reason for everything bad #and if you can't find a reason outside yourself sometimes you find a reason inside yourself (make it your fault) #anyway realising that when i fell sad for a moment i can go “oh i feel sad for a moment: #and not have to always dig into the endless but why do i feel sad #it's helpful to a point. but sometimes you need to let it come and go without interrogating it #is this what people mean when they say you have to feel your feelings??? #i am SUCH an intellectualiser #which is maybe why ACT speaks to me more than CBT #it's a corrective. whereas CBT is a helpful tool but along the lines i already think. #(nerdy medical fact: i have Opinions about the different kinds of therapy) #point: sometimes the situation is just shitty #sometimes you are just having emotions #and that's where they can stay #not all emotions deserve verbalising

I have a bit of a ✨️ dilemma ✨️ and I need some opinions please!

Okay, so, a couple of months ago I was evaluated for autism, as I had shown signs of being autistic since I was very young (read: my whole life), but I've also gone through very traumatic events (not my whole life, late childhood and on), so I decided to get tested. The doctor who evaluated me told me that I was three points away from being considered autistic and we went through the evaluation criteria together, when she explained that she felt that what I've been experiencing is all due to trauma and nothing else.

I left the appointment feeling like while that makes sense--trauma alters how the brain works--it doesn't feel like that's all that's going on. I've been showing different signs of being autistic since I was a little toddler. The trauma that happened in my life didn't occur until later, when I was ten and older.

I still feel like it isn't just the trauma. I feel like, deep down, there's always been something more than that going on, but now I'm worried that if I get a second opinion, no doctor will take me seriously. I don't want them to think that I'm fishing for a diagnosis of autism specifically, I just want answers that feel more concrete, if that makes any sense. I know that it could be a host of different things, like ADHD, OCD, high anxiety, a combination thereof--many, many things.

Do y'all think it'd be worth it to get a second opinion, or do you think I should just let it go?

today in the wild I came across a phrase to the effect "...And this [pair of ethical axioms about what constitutes quality of life for purposes of discussion about disability and coma prognosis, based on the opinion of one person who has not ever been in a coma or disabled thereafter] suggests that maybe, just maybe, [relevantly comatose or recovering or disabled] people may have quality of life sufficient to make them ethically relevant"

that's ... not, um, normally considered to be what makes people "ethically relevant" in the world where all the people are and there's sunshine and grass and things, but, you know what, ok jennifer, A for effort! :) gold star for you, philosopher extraordinaire, moral lodestar for people unsure what to do with granny, paragon of ethical conduct!
