The ER doctor to me when I was 13 and came in in the middle of the night with food poisoning. Made me feel not listened to, like serious medical problems might be brushed off because of my sex. Vulnerable. (via microaggressions)

OH GOD THIS JUST REMINDED ME OF THAT TIME

MY PARENTS TOOK ME TO THE DOCTOR WHEN I WAS TWELVE BECAUSE I WAS HAVING “MOOD PROBLEMS”

WHICH WAS REALLY THEM JUST NOT LISTENING TO ME

AND THE DOCTOR POKED ME IN THE SIDE

AND I WENT “OWWWWW!”

AND HE WENT “OH SHE’S JUST ABOUT TO START HER PERIOD. THAT AREA OFTEN GETS SENSITIVE BEFORE YOUR PERIOD. IT’S JUST MOOD SWINGS.”

AND REALLY IT WAS JUST THAT HE’D POKED ME REALLY FREAKING HARD

AND IT WAS OVER A YEAR BEFORE MY PERIOD STARTED

BUT MY PARENTS NOW HAD THIS GREAT EXCUSE TO BE DISMISSIVE OF ME AND ALL OF MY FEELINGS AND MY WHOLE LIFE EXPERIENCE

AND THEN WHEN I WAS 14 I WENT INTO A COMPLETELY PREVENTABLE FULL BLOWN SELF DESTRUCTIVE DEPRESSION WHERE I STOPPED GOING TO SCHOOL AND STARTED FAILING EVERYTHING BECAUSE WHAT WAS THE POINT ANYMORE NO ONE WAS LISTENING AND MY THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS WEREN’T VALID ANYWAY.

I TOTALLY REMEMBER HOW AWESOME THAT WAS.
