Veteran

I am a 90% disabled veteran with a few different chronic conditions.
I have had them for years like 14 yrs one and 10 years the others. Anywho I decided to put in for a parking permit. It has to be signed by your doctor. My real doctor of 10 years left the Veterans Health administration during the quarantine. I have a new Doctor I sent her the parking permit request for her signature. She emailed me this :
“Good morning,
Based on what I am seeing that you marked (on the permit application) ” and the chart (medical record) I am confused. What is your condition that warrants this placard?”
So seeing that email 📧 triggered me it doesn’t take much when it comes to my invisible and having to explain and validate my symptoms cause they are invisible I’m over it especially when it comes to medical providers . Needless to say I guess I had to educate her (a whole doctor) the nicest way I could. Smh 🤦🏻‍♀️ beyond frustrated. Oh yea my signed parking permit application is now ready for pick up.

I've been on this app a lot, always just reading, never posting.

I'm sure I'm not alone, but I joined this app and others like it to try and find distraction from the crazy world that's in between my ears. The place that the bad version of me lives, and he's trying everything to bring me down.

I'm slowly but surely trying to break the patterns of behaviour I've found myself in over the last several decades. I'm just thankful I've found things like this app to keep me stepping forward despite the inner voice trying to drag me back.

I don't know if I will be of any help, but I'm promising to start posting and commenting more in the future. In the shadows is what my head wants and that's got to stop.

Anyway...only came on to say hi 🙃🙈 have a great Easter everyone.

watched PBS Milwaukee10/36 and found Dr. Daniel Amen talking about Change your Brain, Change your Life!
What if doctors and psychiatrist s took a positive, a holistic approach to Brain Health, instead of the negative labeling, and "branding As
Defective," Mental Health patients as all being mentally Ill.
As a VETERAN, on the ARMY team,
Few service members want to volunteer to be a defective or Ill
"Patient", which the parent organization, (or organism) culls
That defect because there is a
("0 Defect)" military mentality.
If you're experiencing depression,
Or Anxiety, who volunteers to be Labeled as a Mental illness, or Patient. Millions are having Anxiety
Or depression today; as well as Corona Death? Physical and Mental
"Distress" ...comments??

I advocate for #MentalHealthin the #Veteran community. Who and what do you advocate for? There are many people suffering from physical and mental illnesses who don't feel comfortable talking about them. Let's tell them it's Ok to talk about them.

Dear Veteran,

You signed up to put your life on the line for your country. You don't have to suffer from PTSD or any physical disability suffered in the military on your own. I am here for you.

Now...it's your turn! Do you know anyone suffering from a mental or physical illness who isn't comfortable talking about it? Let them know it's ok on this post!
