‘My cat Max’ by Irina ♡

Some of these asshole residents/attendings out here talking down to medical students as if we’re all groveling inferiors kissing ass for good evaluations and scores... My partner DIED; I have family to support, financial obligations, sick/dying family members, chronic health conditions, unrelenting grief, insurmountable debt; I came from a third world country where my family lived 12 people to 1 room facing starvation. It’s a goddamn miracle I’m even here.

I do not give a fuckkkkkkkk about my grades. I especially don’t give a fuck about some privileged MD’s fragile ego

You think you know what it’s like to look down on the person you love the most and see his eyes and mouth glued shut, patches of red and purple across his face from the pooling blood underneath his skin, his skin so cold but still so familiarly alive. You try to hold his hand like the hundreds of times before but his fingers are so stiff from rigor mortis you settle for just putting a finger or two on his palm. You want to touch all of his body but you can’t because he’s on a table and you’re not allowed to pull down the covering. And it takes all of you to not lay next to him and fall asleep together for the last time. Then when it’s finally time to go, you take what tiny amount of courage is surprisingly left and you walk away from him forever. You think you know until it’s your love dead on that table. I wish I never had to know

I feel like I’m one terrible day away from giving up... Every single moment of the past 10 months have been agonizingly painful. I wake up crying, I wipe my tears, put on my mask and function on autopilot. When I get home all I can do is collapse, get into bed and try to not be awake... No one understands unless they also have lost the love of their life. I suffer alone in silence. But the world moves on and I’m still stuck in April 7th, 2022.

One of my earlier embroidery animations, this was my second one. I made sure that the designs were very simple, since I wanted this to be fairly long. The tangled thread is just purposefully messed up French knots.

It’s my birthday today. All I want is to have Joey next to me again. It’s been the most difficult day

The police called today. They caught the guy who sold Joey the fentanyl-laced heroin. He bought it at 6pm. He last texted me at 11:13p.m. He died before midnight

My boyfriend OD'd two weeks ago. His memorial is tomorrow. Everyone tells me the future will be better, less painful. No one listens to me when I say I don't want that future.
