Videos@lemmy.world•You Don't Hate the American Healthcare System EnoughEnglish
3·8 hours agoi’m not trying to be rude or disrespectful, but i can no longer believe in fully functioning brains or corporate propaganda.
i’ve received so much abuse for being sick because of people who worship this system. that their tax dollars are paying for a “lazy fuck” like me.
before i became this sick i got a full ride to a genetics program at one of the top schools in the world and even while getting sicker i had a lot of extreme successes until i became almost completely bed-bound.
i have autism, adhd, and developmental delays and i am very insecure about being “stupid” and weak, and that has made being a workaholic my identity, and it has made it a requirement for me to be successful because i struggle to love myself otherwise. i always have the need to prove to others and myself that i’m worthy of something. to lose all of that has been extremely traumatic, and society regularly puts salt on the wound. they don’t care what i’ve done. they care that it’s a fact that i have “chosen” to be lazy now and i am stealing their hard earned tax dollars.
most of my family shit talks me. i have lost friends. just this month a former friend who pretended to be supportive threw it in my face, suicide baited me, and told me i was a waste of space.
i literal have a caregiver from the department of rehab as part of a program from preventing me from going to a nursing home. they do not take mental illness into consideration. i was approved on physical illness alone. the interview to go over my health issues took two hours. i was told it normally never exceeded 45 minutes. and i nearly died years waiting to be approved for this as well.
i also haven’t been approved for disability (which i know, wild, the government decided im sick enough to be in a nursing home but also i can work? ok), so i live off of $500 a month from the part of my family that has a soul. as you can imagine, that does not go very far. and people don’t realize that there are a lot of things medicaid does not cover that sick people still need to pay for to live. i also have a senior cat with medical needs that are getting more expensive.
i keep begging my body not to die because she needs me. my body keeps begging me to die.
but tldr, after what i’ve been through, i really don’t like those people anymore or think they have a soul.

Videos@lemmy.world•You Don't Hate the American Healthcare System EnoughEnglish
9·18 hours agothis might be an extremely unpopular and controversial opinion, but the solutions are gate-kept by the system.
need a doctor and insurance’s permission to get the test to confirm a diagnosis. some labwork can be ordered online independently, but it’s limited and extremely expensive. as far as i know you can’t get most imaging other than a DEXA without a doctor.
say you feel confident about a diagnosis for whatever reason… well now the only way to get that medication for that condition… is with a prescription. pirate pharmacies exist, but the medications they carry are limited.
i’d have so much less of a problem with this stuff being “gate-kept” (because i DO understand the reason behind the “gate-keeping”) if doctors actually did anything.

12·20 hours agoi posted it and i’m not the target audience… i’m experiencing it and doing everything in my power to prevent it from killing me.
and as someone very ill living below the poverty line, i don’t have a lot of power.
sharing this video is one thing i have the power to do, at least.
i hope it’ll gain way more traction. most people need to hate it a lot more than they do. it has to be such a strong hatred that there’s no choice but to act.

General Discussion@lemmy.world•This Halloween, Be The Village!English
3·1 month agonot sure if this is a temporary glitch - my original post included an image with an image description and text from the image. i’ll try to repost at least the text here for now in case it updates later?
This Halloween, be the village! If you are passing out candy this year, consider adding shelf-stable kid foods to your treat bucket. With SNAP benefits delayed, some families are struggling more than usual. Let’s support our neighbors in small but meaningful ways.
Ideas to include:
- Ramen cups
- protein bars
- chips or pretzels
- microwavable macaroni and cheese
- snack pudding packs
- mini muffins
Every little bit helps keep a child’s belly full and shows that kindness can be just as sweet as candy.

Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related@lemmy.world•American Millennials (and Elder Gen Z) Are Dying YoungEnglish
4·3 months agobeen saying this. so tired of the “and how many of them got the jab” comments in most places being used as some weird kind of gotcha, as if there wasn’t already news of people in their 20’s getting heart attacks or having chronic illnesses long before covid.
we grew up on so much BPA™️ (and non-BPA™️) plastics, tons of preservatives, poor/shady quality food, possible antibiotic overuse. this month i learned that if the mother has lead in her body (those of us with boomer parents ig), the first born actually leaches most of it out of the mother’s body (something about the baby needing calcium and the body can’t differentiate between calcium and lead? i can’t remember the specifics). a lot of us have spent a majority of our lives in trauma mode with parents who did not know how to regulate their emotions, plus 9/11 and the recessions. we were told to work hard and we would be successful, we worked hard and ended up in poverty and then we got bullied for it. stress, trauma, and poverty ages the body and can lead to chronic illnesses. which we can’t afford to get treated, or on the off-chance we can, we’re often so gaslighted by doctors that by the point we finally get a diagnosis, irreversible damage has been done. and then we’re either not allowed to heal because we have to work to stay alive, or if we can’t work, we still can’t heal because we don’t have the money to access the resources needed to heal + the constant stress of poverty worsening the illnesses. i could probably go on…
but sure red hat pedo worshippers. you’re right. it’s the jab.

14·3 months agoeh, i don’t deserve the award anyway since i’m not the creator. i just stumbled upon this by accident today and thought it was super cool and had to make sure everyone knew :) but thank you <3










again, this isn’t an attack on you specifically, i’m just explaining why i can no longer see it as anything other than malice.
just had this shit appear on my timeline. not old news, he’s doing this shit again. and people in the comments section CHEER for this.
i’m seeing this after i just contacted a suspicion of cancer clinic about the uterus i have that is the size it would be if i were pregnant and has not stopped bleeding since january 6th, that TWO radiologists - MDs - have said “hey this looks like cancer and needs to be biopsied” and my obgyn is just sitting on her dickhole because cancer is too rare for someone my age. i also only know of this clinic because my aunt - who i share a lot of medical conditions with - currently has fallopian tube cancer.
the clinic asked if she was an obgyn or an obgyn-onc and when i said obgyn they weren’t surprised.
but then they said i can’t see them without a referral from my primary.
so i need to hope my primary has a reason to feel my obgyn is an idiot and i am deserving of said referral.
otherwise, my obgyn went on maternity leave in the spring, and after my recent ultrasound showing shit getting way worse and spreading, i have now been referred to another obgyn that i will see on january 16th to discuss a biopsy. and that obgyn is currently on vacation until january 1st, so she can’t even just look at my ultrasound and say “you know what? maybe this shouldn’t wait”
i’m sick, been bleeding for a year, my body struggles with keeping nutrients at baseline, im losing nutrients constantly, im weak, there’s a chance i’ve got cancer stealing my nutrients now and… they’re celebrating that he’s going out of his way to make me, and people like me, starve.
good people don’t do that.
update: primary said i need to make an appointment with her to maybe get a referral to the cancer clinic.
actively severely bleeding right now and last time i bled this heavily the er said they can’t do anything at all and will not even see me unless i am unconscious.
i have the pills they gave me but they seem to be dangerous to take with certain medical conditions i have. messaged my obgyn’s office to ask wtf do i do lol. no response
i unlocked my door so my friend can call 911 if i stop responding to texts for too long.
like they literally do not give a fuuuuuuuuuuuck. people say “ask your doctor to document” it’s all documented lmao like it’s really really bad they do not caaaaaaarrreeeee
