I Am Worried About My Health
I'm just venting, feel free to skip.
For reasons I won't go into detail about, I find it very difficult to get to a doctor. Last time I was in was about a year ago.
I haven't been to a dentist since I was a kid and my wisdom teeth are causing problems. My gums constantly hurt and my teeth are slowly being pushed forward. I've been grinding my teeth in my sleep, I catch myself doing it during the day now. I've got some cavities that desperately need attention. I unfortunately seem to have gotten my mother's teeth, she's barely 40 and her teeth are completely rotted. I can't eat anything cold or anything hot. Can't have ice in my drinks without a straw. :(
I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism which makes me very tired, physically and mentally. Is known to cause mood swings. I no longer have access to the medication.
I have depression and PTSD. I've never taken medication for them for personal reasons.
My birth control has had me bleeding since I got it, so for about a year. Also causes mood swings. Worsens depression. I will be getting it removed when I can, I've just no idea when that will be.
I'm now concerned I have cancer. For reasons I'd rather not go into detail about.
I've had stomach ulcers for years, they get worse when I'm stressed. That's a lot lately.
I'm such a mess and I can't do much about it. Every time I try someone is always shutting it down, making me feel like shit. I've been overly sensitive for about a year now. Even my boyfriend pointed it out. Everything is so much harder.
Nobody takes me seriously when I say I don't feel good or that I need to see a doctor or a dentist. I could list everything here, tell them how much physical pain I'm in daily, they just aren't getting it. I don't really expect them to, to be fair, but I would think my parents would help me at least make an appointment I can keep. Especially when it's to a point I can barely get out of bed, I'm just exhausted all the time and always in some kind of pain. My options are severely limited. I don't know what to do anymore, about anything. I don't feel like I'm in control. I'm not. And nobody around me is listening.
My physical health is beyond what a glass of water and a tylenol will fix.
I just hope I don't die here. That would really suck.
