What's on your mind?

I realized over the last few days that I have become far to accepting of being far too lazy. The pendulum of self acceptance vs self improvement has swung too far.7

The way our minds keep looping to places where we used to belong but don't anymore. Why can't I concentrate on the here and now and let the past go?
Maybe because it felt too d@mn good to let it go and I keep comparing it to now.

I’ve been a medical dumpster fire the past year. Lots of weird but unrelated appts and even a surgery for things that no one else seems to deal with.
Today I see a dr for lower abdominal pain I have had since July. I have had several trips to the ER, ultrasounds, etc, and they don’t tell me anything consistent. I’ve been trying to get an answer/solution for months while dealing with growing, near-constant pain.
I got my hopes up that the guy I see today will have an answer, but realistically I’m just staring down a long road of more tests and procedures.
It is really affecting how I feel about myself. I am embarrassed of my situation, I feel old and frail and wimpy. ( @KosmosKitten America, amirite) Every time I have to miss work or spend a day laying in bed, I feel my value spiral.
Ugh. Just venting. Most people in my real life don’t know any of this.

I just got back from the doctor. I have balance problems but figure I shouldn't be having them when I sit down and I'd been falling asleep on the toilet (I know why) but tilting over and injuring myself so figured it was time to see someone.
A tetanus shot, some blood work that needed to be done anyway, a referral for physical therapy, and a quickie exam later, they also want to do an mri just in case.
My response was, "Do I need to prep for that? Do I need to rewatch House?" (The MRI of Dooooooooooom for anyone who watched that show.
)
I know I didn't REALLY injure my skull when I fell in the bathroom...twice...because I figure it would have knocked some sense into me.
Weird that I suddenly got a little nervous tho. Maybe I'm afraid I'll get claustrophobic.4 -

Ah yes, America and its wonky ingrained cultural values. Always a delight.
We're all hoping you get answers soon, even if the answer is more akin to a clue and the eventual reveal must snowball (with several other clues) for you to find relief. Medical science is interesting, but much like any other science, it's always playing "catch up" to modern discoveries (which are ever-changing and fluid).
Do your best to take care of yourself and don't beat yourself up too much for having a lie-in when needed. You aren't any less valuable because of it. Do what's best for you to get up and going again, whenever that is. And of course, it's a plus if you can tell your brain to shut it and stop whispering dark thoughts and words, but I do understand that it is very, very hard to do.

I still don't really fit in anywhere.. or into any groups of people. Kind of bums me out, honestly. It just leaves me feeling... "other" for lack of better terminology.1
