What they don’t tell you: Self care sometimes isn’t fun. It’s going to class even when you want to stay in bed and rest. It’s paying bills on time and running errands even when every strand of your being cant stand it. It’s going to therapy and taking your medicine even when you don’t want to. It’s using coping skills even when going back to self destructive ones seems more appealing.

Recovering sucks. It’s hard. But you have to believe in the light at the end of the tunnel. And even on those days you don’t, you fake it till you make it.

Recovery is still worth it.

Sometimes self-care is taking care of future-me. Because she deserves to have someone looking out for her.

this is the hardest part, definitely

The medical community on literally every female specific health issue ever: “very common condition” “no known cause” “no known cure” :))))))

newtonssidedick

What the fuck is tumblr? Like honestly what is this? Do you guys pull shit out of the inner most depths of your rectum and then just throw it on your keyboard and have it turn into a post???? This site is something else what the fuck is wrong with you people????!?!?

Endemetriosis

Vaginal Thrush

Menorrhagia

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Fibroids

Very common conditions, causes are unknown or only speculated, long term cures have not been found. Most can cause chronic pain or discomfort, all can seriously impact your quality of life.

Men are so damn privileged they can’t even imagine female bodies have different healthcare needs than theirs and that our healthcare needs are important even if they can’t be affected by one of these conditions.

Endometriosis causes excruciating pain and is a leading cause of infertility. Thrush is extremely uncomfortable, and expensive to treat repeatedly; over-the-counter preparations rarely completely eradicate it. Menorrhagia, which I have, makes you anæmic. PCOS causes hormonal symptoms that are socially difficult (facial hair, acne, hair loss, weight gain). Fibroids are so common, and are often treated with a hysterectomy.

Add in fibromylgia, which affects 8x as many women as men, as well as lupus (and almost any other autoimmune condition), systemic exertion intolerance disorder (SEID), iron deficiency anæmia (all of which affect more women than men), and you have well over 25% of childbearing-age women globally living with chronic pain and tiredness.

Chronic pain is overwhelmingly experienced by women, and women are less likely to be taken seriously or given treatment by medical professionals. I went through two years of diagnostics to finally find out I had occipital neuralgia; I felt doubted when I described my pain at every step of the way, but was lucky to have a partner who was persistent in helping me get treatment.

Basically, this is a huge problem, and also one of the reasons I have been considering medical school.

Don’t forget that most pharmaceuticals go to market without ever having been tested on people with a uterus, lest someone get pregnant… seriously that is the whole rationale behind not testing >50% of the population. This has been legislated against in some countries, but still persists in the of majority drug development because of other regulations, and traditions and laziness. The use of a drug is of course monitored in the population after release, but the people “trying” it in this capacity get none of the insurance, close and regular medical examination or monetary benefit of essentially being in a late stage drug trial. Drugs that are pulled from market after release are sometimes done so on the basis that the dosage is just too high for females/afab people and this is, of course, after they’ve experienced the adverse affects.

This is why if you get pregnant your doctor will take you off basically any and all medication you’re taking (including mental health medication, can’t imagine any implications/dire consequences there), not because they know it will have an adverse affect on the foetus but because they have no idea. How wonderfully kind of them to prioritise the health and life of an unborn foetus over that of a living person, let’s just hope they don’t become ill whilst pregnant. How charmingly logical it is that they wouldn’t even bother to test drugs in people with a uterus because it’s all too difficult and gosh, darn what an ethical conundrum we’ve been faced with, let’s just not! Which is so in the spirit of capital S, Science!

Indeed, the issue is so severe that, in many cases, folks with uteruses are routinely told that their diseases and disorders are not, in fact, disorders at all, and are just a normal part of having a uterus.

Take menstrual cramps, for example. Everybody knows that cramps are a normal part of menstruation, and that virtually all people who menstruate experience them throughout their lives, right?

Except that’s not right at all.

Yes, it’s true that about two-thirds of individuals who menstruate begin to experience menstrual pain during adolescence, but it’s basically a side effect of puberty, and normally subsides by your late teens. Only about 20-40% of menstruating adults experience menstrual pain on a regular basis - and according to some estimates, as much as 80% of that figure is due to undiagnosed endometriosis or some other underlying medical condition.

Yeah, roll those numbers around in your head: if you’re an adult who experiences menstrual cramps, it’s overwhelmingly likely that your pain is a symptom of some potentially serious medical condition.

And yet we tell folks it’s just a normal thing that everybody has to deal with.

Bonus round: Look up PCOS and gender identity.

Then look up PCOS and diabetes.

Ok, to show how incredibly important this post fucking is, I just looked up endometriosis and I match just about every sympton, and it would explain not just my incredibly painful periods but many other things as well. I had no idea this existed. Please, read this post and reblog this so others can learn.

philosopher--queens

I will reblog this every time because my cousin (a cis girl) went through seven years of pain without being taken seriously until SHE suggested it was endometriosis. And that’s not even unusual - that’s the average amount of time it takes between first symptoms and a diagnosis of endometriosis.

Gosh, I haven’t seen anyone talk about Cyntoia in ages. This still breaks my heart. PLEASE watch her documentary.

I asked my mom how much interest taxes or whatever I would have to pay on the interest income I claim next year and she said it would be like 33% of it like that made it not worth it to get a $300 cash bonus through the bank but I was like okay a little under $200 at the end of it? Still worth. Turns out it's more like 10% so yeah I'm even happier than I was, but I'm poor and my parents are rich...

No one gets more free handouts than the business students Biologists don't get food in their classes, in the hall... we get mice that smell like shrimp and hissing cockroaches

I thought of a good post while I was high last night but I forget too bad I didn't care that I'd do that in the beginning

You know when half of the class laughs at a "joke" the professor made? Like when someone's phone goes off and they're like hu hu I thought that was mine for a second, and a stunning number of people legitimately laugh out loud How are they so happy? How do I find laughter in the little things like them?

Well this didn't happen but I'm a stoner so who really thought

buzzfeedlgbt

That’s actually heterophobic, and no, don’t say that’s not a thing ‘because straight people have never been opressed’. It seems like today’s society, especially on Tumblr, with big websites such as Buzzfeed promoting it even more, favour the opressed minority over the majority, which is not okay, because they should be equals, and by putting the ‘opressed’ on a pedestral, you’re degrading and actually OPRESSING the others.

takeafuckingsipdiscoursers-blog

I can’t believe buzzfeed is Oppressing the Heteros

dare-i-say-asexual

Gay person: I get excited seeing the kinds of stories that are usually reserved for straight ppl feature ppl like me because I rarely see myself represented

Some Het™: ummmm this is oppression :-/ i once got an answer on a buzzfeed quiz I didn’t like…..the heterophobia is real

fineitsmealittle

so you're saying they "favor the oppressed minority over the majority", which is basically saying the minority >is< oppressed and now there are like, tons of articles about this minority group that's like, totally empowering because it's usually like HEY look at this black girl who is a beautiful masterpiece artist of African/culture or something. You're upset because white people aren't the center of attention, but you're failing to realize that whiteness isn't the majority anymore and in most of the world it never was
