I feel like I've been gaslighted by this new doctor I just went too. Basically I tried my best to explain the medications I'm taking and trying to explain my past medical history but this new doctor is just becoming too dismissive saying things like "Well we have to do our work here so your medical records won't help because of how outdated it is" I mean what? This doctor doesn't know anything about me and already I am annoyed.
Then as if that wasn't bad she decided to fat shame saying about how much weight I have even though I keep trying to tell her that I've been excercising, cutting down on calories and eating healthy foods, but then she has to give me the same darn boring lecture about how consuming too much junk food is "bad" for you. Like gee as if I haven't heared that 500 times.
Finally at the end she tells me to come back in 3 months for blood work just to see how stuff is going with my blood results. I keep trying to tell her to see my past lab results to get a good idea of what is going on with me but she becomes dismissive saying "Well its not going to help because I need to see updated blood results to get a better idea of what treatment to give you". After when my appointment was done I just went home and screamed in frustration. Who would've thought getting a new doctor would be this difficult?
This isn't what you want to hear, but it sounds like your new doctor is doing everything by the book - and that is 100% what they are meant to be doing. If they can't sign off on the fact they did things properly then they could later face legal action if it were to find out they had missed something that was detrimental to your health or, God forbid, mortality.
Anytime you switch doctor or practice, they're going to need to thoroughly assess your health and highly likely give you information you've already heard before. It is a requirement and they don't know for certain that it has been explained to you correctly elsewhere. Instead of getting frustrated, please try to work with them. If you don't understand the need for something then ask them why. The likelihood is that they are obligated to both by their employer and the professional regulatory bodies that audit the practice.
It is also worth noting that blood work can change
very rapidly - I had two full blood count tests done very close together a few years ago. I initially thought it was silly they wanted to do another so soon. Well, it wasn't silly. The first showed I was completely fine and healthy (as had all blood tests I had had up until that point) and then the next showed I had developed an autoimmune disease. If your doctor thinks a blood test is necessary, get it done.
I ****ing hate minors lol but I guess it’s my own fault because I let them use me for alcohol in exchange for friendship. I will never be friends with another minor again. I just can’t trust them or my dumbass not to let them use me. They’re so immature and are not good people to be friends with. I can’t do it anymore.
Lol like I said, they will NOT BE TRUSTED. I had another panic attack thanks to one of them.
Befriending minors is tricky, and normally something I would advise against altogether, although if I am remembering correctly these are people you work with so of course it is understandable that you want to get along with them. However, even if you have good intentions it isn't a good idea to treat minors with the same level of familiarity as you would people in your own age group. As the legal adult you should ideally be making an effort to maintain a level of professional distance - for your own safety as well as theirs. What you have described in your post violates the law and puts young people's safety and wellbeing at risk. For that reason we are going to ask that you refrain from talking about this topic further on TBT - and we would strongly advise against engaging in this type of behaviour again.
I'm feeling really conflicted bc a few days ago I sent a family friend (the same person who offered me a job at a local cat rescue) a message to see if she could find a foster home for one of our cats, bc she's been difficult to deal with, but now I feel really conflicted. she's not a bad cat at all, she's just very finicky and she honestly should be in a home with at most 2 other cats, not 5. honestly if I lived on my own and it was just her and my older cat I would be able to handle them. I just have a difficult time handling 6 cats at once.
I feel like I will be in a much better place soon, since I started my bipolar med and I'm working on recovering and unlearned all the stuff I got from having poor mental health. and who knows, once I've taken care of myself maybe I can handle all those cats. but right now it's still super difficult. and I just don't know what to do abt the one cat.
I know this for sure, when I'm on my own I def wouldn't want more than two cats. the older I get the more I lose my patience for them. 6 is too many to deal with.
If you think it would be better for the cat to be rehomed, and it sounds like it is, then the fairest thing to do is to let her go. Six cats would be a lot of work for anyone. You shouldn't feel bad about it if it is genuinely the best decision for both you and the cat.
