You know what PISSES me off? The stigma around hypochondriacs/people with health anxiety. How they’re treated as stupid and annoying especially by doctors. Instead of like. You know. Someone fearing for their life
Imagine you were scared. Imagine you were scared and acted scared but your fear put fear into others. Imagine your fear made others angry. Imagine your fear was a problem.
So you had to augment your very sense of self to remove piece by piece the things that scared you, letting go of the very base need for survival in the process. Imagine you made peace with death and things worse than it just so people wouldn’t have to be uncomfortable with your fear.
people acting like hypochondriacs are the same as malingerers is ableist to both hypochondriacs and malingerers. I’m a hypochondriac and am constantly told that I want to feel this way, or for others to see me as this. I don’t, genuinely feels like I’m going to die.
☆ I’m Amy (she/her), 19 and a Libra. I practice Hellenic Polytheism and reality shifting. I have autism and ADHD. I’m a hypochondriac and have social anxiety. As if that wasn’t hard enough, I’ve also got POTs and seasonal affective disorder. What I’m trying to say is that this is a safe space and there is no judgement here.
☆ I made my blog with only a few intentions:
⋆ to talk about my DRs and shifting
⋆ to create a safe space for other shifters
⋆ and to document my journey
☆ And what better way to document my journey than through
