part 2 to bad faith insurance! this has been a wild ride 🙃 has anything like this ever happened to anyone else?? #healthinsurance #luigi

what's the wildest thing your insurance company has ever put you through? #healthinsurance #luigi #chronicillness #disability #insurance

if mindfulness helps you, that's wonderful. but doctors have no business recommending someone's work on mindfulness when they clearly haven't even read it themselves :/ #disabled #mindfulness #doctors #chronicillness #shinzenyoung

it's been real y'all <3 what is y'all's experience with disabled content creators? what do you want to see more of, and what do you want to see less of? #disability #disabled #chronicillness #chronicpain

and it turns out, they were right, I'm absolutely faking being an amputee. I paid for this Photoshop skill with an arm and a... oh. Also if you've ever met me IRL and it looks like I'm missing a leg, I promise it's just a magic trick using 47 mirrors ❤️

but fr how are you supposed to get to know me if you don't know anything about me 🫠

intentionally withholding life saving medical care IS attempted unaliving. and no, I can't press charges.. because I can't change to another doctor without risking losing the care I have. #doctors #medicalmalpractice #medicalgaslighting #disability #chronicillness

please tell me I'm not alone in believing obvious internet misinformation into adulthood 🫠 #tumblr

in 2025 we're no longer prioritizing people who use political correctness to gain power over other people in the community-- especially not over people who maybe haven't interacted with a lot of queers but are willing to fight for us anyway, even if they sometimes say things that are a bit ignorant. We cannot afford to turn away allies trying to support us in good faith just because they're not up to date on every single thing that's "problematic." Meanwhile there are genuinely harmful people inside the community who go unchecked just because they're using the right language to virtue signal. It can be exhausting to constantly try and educate people, but we stand a better chance if we're not immediately hostile to people who make largely harmless mistakes, or people who are genuinely trying to change after being a bad person in the past.

What has been y’all’s experience with therapy? What has worked or not worked for you? Personally, I’ve been through 11 different therapists who used different models of therapy and none of them have helped. Many have made things worse. By far the most helpful for me has been working to build my own version of DBT and IFS, which I plan to share in the future if people are interested! #therapy #mentalhealth #disability #antipsychiatry

believe it or not this is one of the top specialists in the country that said that and my current doctor agreed with him 🥲 #chronicpain #amputee #disability
