Don’t ever give up on finding a health care provider that listens and validates your every concern and issue, who never stops trying to help you, who research, who reach out to other doctors and mentors they’ve had in the past trying to help in any way to so you live a more healthy and comfortable life. And I know how tiring it is, I know how exhausting and hopeless it can feel. I know it’s not fair by any means and it never will be. But I think we owe it to ourselves to keep fighting for ourselves. Because by doing that, we are fighting for each other as well, we are refusing to disappear, we are making it easier for the next person to be heard, we are reminding the world that our lives matter just as much, and we are fighting for everyone who comes after us. I promise you there are healthcare providers of every kind in this world who do their job because it is what their soul loves and what they feel they are meant to do. I promise you there are healthcare providers who genuinely want to help you, who want others to be able to live healthier, fuller, happier lives, who celebrate every step forward with their patients, and who refuse to stop searching for answers simply because the answers aren’t easy to find. I know this world can be cruel, I know people can be cruel, I know there’s bad experiences in this journey, but I also know at a certain point we have to choose hope anyways. And yes, hope can be a very fickle thing, but it is also one of the founding pillars of courage, resilience, and healing. So please don’t give up on hope.
Please don’t give up before you find them.
