the replies on one of the top tweets about the brad pitt abuse situation

it's always "she should've come forward sooner" and not "why is this famous man violently abusing his wife and children"

also SHE DID come forward and press charges and has separated her children from him almost instantly back in 2016. this is only getting attention now because HE'S SUING HER. much like johnny depp did to amber heard. and people are still siding with the male abuser, and not the victim. just goes to show how even in 2022 when people are constantly talking about how "woke" everything is, women are still the victims and still the targets.

Does anyone else feel stuck at the age they were when their chronic illness started to take over their life? For me it feels like time stopped and I got mentally stuck at that age, even though I’ve obviously been aging physically. Everyone else ages around me physically, mentally, socially and emotionally. Everyone I grew up with has started to build a life for themselves and seems lightyears ahead of me when it comes to life experiences but I’m stuck in this cycle of living the same day over and over and genuinely forgetting how old I actually am.

damn the guy who sexually assaulted me doesn’t even wanna take me to prom

i was referred to as an epileptic by a doctor for the first time yesterday. even after having the tonic-clonic seizure in february and my eeg showing epileptiform discharges, the most my neurologist will say is that i *may* have a “tendency towards epileptic seizures”. he won’t say i have epilepsy. he had been blowing me off for a year, saying my focal seizures were probably “near syncope”, or a “weird migraine”. it’s finally gotten to the point where he can’t dispute my epilepsy anymore, but he still finds a way to phrase in such a way where he doesn’t have to admit he was negligent. i told my new rheumatologist about my history with seizures, and she looked over my eeg. she said i should be medicated for epilepsy. but my neurologist will not put me on medication until i have another tonic-clonic seizure, and unfortunately it’s not really her decision. i told her that my neurologist said that eeg’s can show epileptiform discharges in 1% of the non epileptic population. she laughed and said “you’re epileptic, sweetheart”. it was such a throw away statement for her, but it meant so much to me. this is one of the first times my seizures have been taken seriously. i think things r finally looking up

Y'know what's REALLY messed up? The fact that I am MORE afraid of going to the ER and not being taken seriously than I am of potentially DYING because I didn't go when I actually, really needed to? Like?
