Do you have any tips or tricks for handling faintness following medical procedures?

Slip a fan in your backpack or purse and cool off in the waiting room until you get your sea legs again. Take as long as you need ❤️

Where do you go when you need to think or reflect?

When it comes time to sit with yourself and think through whatever is on your mind — both the good and bad — it can be helpful to find a place that helps you center yourself and process your thoughts.

Whether it’s your bedroom, a walk (or roll!) in a nearby park, your local cafe, or a therapist’s office, where do you go when you need a moment to pause and reflect?

Furious

The lab results came back bad. My doctor's office portal says every single test is within normal range. Well no, clearly it is not within normal range. And I can't talk to my doctor until next Thursday. Some highlights of the test results:

* elevated white and red blood cells and elevated hemoglobin

* Elevated TSH with normal T4

* a1c back in diabetic range

* Almost no hormones being produced

Yeah. I'm really pissed off. I've got so many questions and no answers.

On top of this bullshit my psych team is playing telephone with each other and miscommunication is rampant. My peer specialist was supposed to take me to Aldi on Tuesday. My bhh peer texted me about getting together on Wednesday but didn't say what for. Yesterday I was told she was gonna help me clean my kitchen. Well I got a text from the peer specialist saying that she was told that the bhh peer specialist is taking me shopping on Wednesday. So I texted the bhh peer specialist asking for clarification. She hasn't responded yet. So I texted her boss. She hasn't responded yet either. So I'm confused and kinda stressed about needing help cleaning my kitchen and needing groceries. I hope someone figures this shit out soon. I'm exhausted.

One good thing, I had a really good therapy session today. We talked about my plans for con this year. He's really happy and excited for me.

Update after getting a text from bhh peer specialist: they are never helping me clean my apartment again.
