I was reading something about Whitestown, Indiana and my eyes nearly popped out of my head thinking it was one of THOSE comically racist towns. Nice to know, at least the name, wasn’t that.
This is what a real, qualified OBGYN will tell you about what women feel when they get an abortion
Dr. Willie Parker, who is trained as a gynecologist and OBGYN, is a hero for the pro-choice movement because he’s honest about the undiscussed aspects of getting (or not getting) an abortion. Watch how he gives a consultation.
Paz: “Look this shiny guy is a piece of shit. And his kid is weird. And don’t even get me started on this princess bitch. But this guy.. he’s MY piece of shit. And this kid is one of us even tho idk how his weird ass ears are gonna go in a helmet. And this princess.. man i just gave up on my kid and she was like nah bruh let’s climb this mountain..

Earlier this year: *diagnosed with combined type ADHD*
*is hopeful that with an actual diagnosis, it will be easier to acquire care*
*learns more about the demanding medical appointment and cost requirements to be adequately treated for ADHD*
*learns there is therapy & techniques for ADHD management but some people may need medication to see a difference*
*is told about a medication that might help with adult ADHD which is not a stimulant*
*gets information from a reliable counselor, however they cannot prescribe medications*
Earlier this month: *calls my general doctor's office to confirm it is possible for them to prescribe this recommended medication*
*they say yes and schedule an appointment*
Earlier today: *appointment day comes & after waiting for an hour and a half to get to a room, they say it's not possible for my doctor to prescribe this, and there has been a miscommunication*
*explains: I'm doing all of this to find a solution for someone with ADHD but without medical insurance, who does not have the ability to afford appointments every 3 months as required for stimulant pills*
*Is told I need to get diagnosed and started on a medication from a psychiatrist before my doctor will consider just refilling this non-stimulant through their office*
*Staff know they have fucked up, wasted my time, and mislead me, so they waive the office fee and attempt to contact the office where I was diagnosed in order to consolidate records*
A multi-year journey of discovering an actual solution for my brain is ongoing and looking hopeless around every corner, not resolvable anytime soon.
