If you carry one thing with you today, let it be this: you are beautiful, you matter, and you are loved.

As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:

“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.

Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.

    It almost sounds like they automated as much as they could and never trained/informed the people actually using the new processes?? Maybe that’s giving them too much credit. Like they’re forcing incompetence and negligence through “streamlining”… what the fuck. If the endo questions it, maybe it’d work to just gaslight them like “Your office told me to get these done over a phone call from however many months ago”, or something. It feels gross suggesting it, but at the same time your health should be a priority considering your medical history. I hope you can get some proper treatment soon, love. Whatever works in your favor at this point.

      Thanks. I thought if the endo questions it, I would pretend it’s crossed wires. I could say “I asked for these tests to be done and sent to you but I never said you ordered them.” And just act like the GP’s office assumed the endo had ordered them.
