It’s less that I crave the approval of medical professionals? But more my OSDD makes my life a living hell and I know I can’t seek specific treatment unless I call it what it is and get a diagnosis. I need to seek treatment for my own safety, and part of that is getting diagnosed. Sorry my experience is different than yours…
Hey friend.
I’m sorry that my (😼🔪) post upset you.
I’m sorry that when I wrote “medical bootlickers who crave approval from doctors” you interpreted that to mean “all people who seek treatment for disorders from medical professionals.”
That post was written in the middle of a medical abuse related cptsd meltdown triggered by an earlier ask that had nothing to do with plurality.
The post itself was triggered by a piece of out of the blue anon hate from someone accusing me of faking a disorder that I don’t claim to have.
That I received while in the middle of a medical related cptsd meltdown. The mature and rational thing to do would have been to delete the post and not respond, but I was not rational at the time.
The vitriol of the post was not directed at people who seek treatment for disorders.
The vitriol of that post was aimed at people who forcibly medicalize the experiences of other people in one breath and then invalidate those experiences in the next breath.
I’m sorry that the hostility of that post, which was tagged with a content warning for hostility and a content warning for medical trauma upset you.
It was not about you.
