Medical trauma is not a joke. All this anger has just built up in me for literally years, and ngl but while therapy does help me to work through this, I still have anger inside me and I’m worried about the wrong person being on the receiving end of that.

A year into my remission from brain cancer I was diagnosed with PTSD, at the time I didn’t even realize that was even possible. Hearing the sound of a pump machine could literally send me into a panic attack. I hate that it’s not talked about enough

when i have to advocate for myself i go into fight or flight because i’m so used to being dismissed and having the people im relying on to save my life not believe me or care. going to the dr already sucks without having layers of trauma on top of it!
