Hello lovelies! Everything is a lot lately, but we’re here to cheer you on and let you know that we are here with you. You are beautiful, you are loved, and you matter.

As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
So glad you got a chance to be seen and get tested. Sounds like the blood draws were rough though, hope it wasn’t too painful and the bruises heal up soon. It does suck that there’s always a ‘but’ with your treatment, hopefully the shock therapy and test results at least help move you in a better direction.
Also, a big middle finger to that dog owner. It’s their responsibility to keep their pets under control, and since you’ve had poor interactions with big dogs before you are totally justified to remove yourself if you feel uncomfortable. Your safety takes priority.
Thank you.
