Today, I realized I've been avoiding a doctor's visit for issues, because it might be less painful to go out that way than to see how much more a crapshoot 2021 would be. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it was the day of the doctor's appointment that I've been waiting for for eight months. I woke up with a fever and had to reschedule. The next appointment is next year. Guess I have to put up with my daily migraines until 2021. FML
Today, I left work early because I had a doctor's appointment. After sitting in the waiting room for twenty minutes, I realized I was at my old doctor's office. My actual appointment was across town. I was already late. FML
Today, I had a doctor's appointment. When I got there they informed me that it was indeed on August 21st, but 2025. I showed up a year early. The embarrassment and awkwardness was probably felt by the people in the next building as well. FML
Today, I had a doctor's appointment. I left with referrals to both a dermatologist and a mental health professional. FML
Today, I thought maybe I should go to my doctor because my hips crack every time I take a step. But she's also my recently ex-boyfriend's mom, so I have to choose between being in constant pain or having my doctor poke at my hips while asking me why I'm no longer dating her son. FML
Today, I have been dealing with painful lymphedema and I'd finally got a doctor's appointment, but they called and cancelled last minute. Here's to another week being in pain… FML
Today, I turned down a chance to go to a bar with a girl I like because I have an autoimmune disorder and don't want to get sick because of being irresponsible and obviously COVID 19. FML
Today, I finally went to the doctor's about my severe anxiety. I'm so used to putting on a happy performance around people that she didn't believe anything was wrong with me. FML
Today, I waited months for a specialist doctor’s appointment, only to find out that it's the same guy I already saw for the same problem years ago, who was at his wit's end after seeing nothing wrong on the x-ray, and had no clue as to what might be causing my pain. FML
Today, I realized just how bad my life had become when the doctor said I was likely to survive my severe case of Covid and I was disappointed. FML

2021 will be better with an actual leader who cares about anything other than his ego, lining the pockets of his cronies, and oppressing any person or entire population of people he doesn’t like. The last 4 whole years were a disturbing ******* scary joke and I feel hope for the first time in a long time that things may get better. Unless the brainwashed masses he has whipped up into a frenzy that appear ready to take up arms to fight for “rigged” elections and their “right” to breathe plague into each other’s faces end up revolting. We’ll see. Regardless of politics and plague (was that redundant? Hahaha), I do feel a bit more optimistic. Vaccines are coming down the pike, and a leader is coming in who will do crazy things like not fire anyone who disagrees with him and make efforts to pull us back from these skyrocketing death rates and generally try to bring everyone together for the betterment of all. In the meantime, OP, please try your best to stay positive. It can be so hard, I know - I really REALLY know - but it will get better. Make that doctor’s appointment, and maybe mention that you’ve felt life may not really be worth living anymore, and doc will recommend a therapist or meds or both. Good luck to you.

Maybe that’s one of the issues? But honestly, with how 2020’s been, I’m scared for 2021 too.

I like the attitude! I'll want you on my team when the 2021 civil war starts. People wanting to survive might capitulate to the Trump army, but you and I will stick to them, come what may.

Well, I've got no problem seeing the logic here, unfortunately...
