👉 I always feel like I am too much and spend half my appointment apologizing! ❓What about you? "You need to know that competent, smart people are routinely made to feel stupid & "dramatic" in medical situations. It has nothing to do with how smart you are or how valid your medical issue is. It's a systemic problem that is happening to lots & lots of other people too." Credit: Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle #MedicalGaslighting #MedicalTrauma #MySeveralWorlds

I’ve been struggling with this for at least a couple weeks and now that I’ve spoken about it with my life recovery small group, my sponsor and my psychotherapist, I’m finally ready to talk about it publicly. When I was told in 2019/2020 that I “needed” surgery (I’m not convinced I truly needed it as I no longer trust the doctor who pressured me into surgery and operated on me), I was given a number of options for which surgery I would have. I laid those options before the Lord and He led me to the surgery that ultimately led to the loss of my physical independence and everything material that I had in this world - my job, my home, my access to my church building, and the ability to come and go as I please and manage my own
affairs. Now that I’m faced with another surgical decision, I want to lay it before Him and let Him choose what I do… but I feel betrayed. Not just by the surgeons. I feel betrayed by God. And I’m angry. I’m PISSED. But at the same time, my relationship with Jesus is the only thing truly sustaining me through this. I never thought I’d have PTSD from trusting God. But now that I have options before me as to how to proceed, I want to give them to God and let Him decide again, but I’m having flashbacks to the last time I let Him decide and the suffering that has resulted since. There’s of course the possibility that
it wasn’t God who led me into this season, but that just calls into question my own ability to discern His direction by way of the Holy Spirit, which feels just as troubling. I know I’ll continue to do what I can to give the Lord control, because that’s the only way I know how to exist anymore. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

Deliverance doesn’t mean that God will remove all of our trouble, but that He will walk with us through it!!!

If doctors didn't get paid until the patient was healed... We'd see the health crisis turn around and stone. Because right now the system profits from sickness- not health. It rewards unless prescriptions, repeat visits, and chronic dependency. but if pay was tied to getting people well? Doctors would push prevention over pills, nutrition over neglect, lifestyle over lifelines. The entire help your system would flip overnight.
People love saying “trust the system.”
Many chronically ill people spent years inside it before realizing:
The system isn’t designed to heal you.
It’s designed to manage you.
#Spoonies #MedicalTrauma #ChronicIllness
The healthcare system isn’t designed around health.
It’s designed around billing.
Chronic illness taught me that the hard way.

If you script what you’ll say so you won’t be dismissed…
If you shrink yourself to seem “reasonable”…
That’s not drama. That’s survival memory.

Taking a much needed self care weekend. Not pictured: sitcoms and wrestling on tv plus comfort food that’s on its way to hopefully calm my nervous system, which has been hanging on by a thread since Tuesday. #prayforme #selfcareweekend #chronicillnesslife #medicaltrauma #soulcare
Always to help one big anxiety days @mental.health.with.emma Pick one or two simple meals removes food pressure. Run cold water over here wrist s and splash on your face keep reminding yourself I can handle this moment. Take regular breaks and step outside for fresh air. Lower your caffeine and increase your water intake. Delay big or stressful decisions until you are calmer.
It's increasingly frustrating to have my photo's censored by AI across all apps purely bc I have visible medical scarring and zero tattoos. Constantly flagged for self harm and distressing imagery.

We are one accident, one diagnosis, one burnout away from needing the compassion we refuse to give.
Disabled people are not cautionary tales.
We are the future you’re pretending won’t happen.

Selbst stoppen können...
Mein kopf war soo im
"Ich muss es durchhalten"
"Brav mitmachen"...
"Sonst werde ich bestraft"
"Sonst bekomme ich keine Hilfe mehr..."
(Durch #medicalTrauma ist diese Angst im krankenhaus bei mir immer ein stück da..)
Dass ich das niemals ernsthaft in Erwägung gezogen hätte
Medical trauma is real.
Being dismissed.
Being restrained.
Being told it’s “just anxiety.”
Healthcare can heal.
It can also harm.

Women are still not being listened to. We are told our pain is normal. We are told we’re overreacting. We are told to wait. And when we finally reach specialists, we’re expected to trust without question.

It took me 7 years to talk about my #UC & #Stoma surgeries. We focus on the physical, but the mental impact of #ChronicIllness is just as vital. I’ve written about processing #MedicalTrauma & reclaiming your identity: advocatinghealth.com/2026/02/23/t...

A thread about Medical trauma and medical PTSD. Yes, it's real. Not dramatic. Not rare. Not “just anxiety.”

I asked the Lord to order my steps… and almost immediately heard from my surgeon. He just reminded me that if reversing the stoma does not work, it will not be possible to make it continent. He told me this when I met him back in September but I guess I thought the solution that the other doctor at OSU presented to make it continent would work if we tried the reversal and it didn’t work, but it will only work if I don’t reverse the stoma. So basically if the reversal doesn’t work, the only other option is a leaky stoma for the rest of my life. That’s not terrifying at all 🙃

Gotta love a cath change appointment that reminds me EXACTLY why I’m pursuing getting my stoma reversed or at the very least making it continent 🥴 #prayforme #bladdersurgery #medicaltrauma #worshipisalifestyle #chronicallyillChristian #neurogenicbladder #prayerrequest #surgicaltrauma #faithinChrist

We aren’t faking illness.
We’re staging normalcy so we don’t get abandoned, doubted, or institutionalized.
Survival looks a lot like compliance when you dim the lights.

I spoke with my female urologist in Columbus today. She’s very sweet but it would appear that the plan has slightly changed. Again. She says there IS a non surgical way to make my stoma continent (YAY) and she’s going to bring it up to my other doctor at OSU. She said there is a chance that the stoma reversal won’t work and I’ll still have a stoma for the rest of my natural life (basically confirming what my PTSD has already been saying) but I told her if I don’t at least try to get rid of it, the “what if” of not trying would haunt me forever. She once again asked me if I’d be at all willing to consider the solution she proposed last year and I said NO. But now that there’s a way to make my stoma continent… if the reversal doesn’t work, that’s probably my next best option.
Although it sounds like something that will have to be repeated to keep the stoma continent, and either way, it sounds like once I start cathing again, being able to sleep through the night without getting up to cath will no longer be an option…. And I get VERY cranky when I’m sleep deprived. This whole thing is both very promising and VERY scary. Not knowing how this is gonna work out in the end terrifies me. Jesus is all I have to hold on to that I’ll be okay in the end. Thank you for your continued prayers. I love you all so much.

I recognize what my nervous system cannot tolerate, and the system still refuses to acknowledge the harm it has caused, continues to cause, or how to responsibly support those traumatized by its own practices.
