Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at the dentist's. During my check-up, he recommended a dermatologist. FML
Today, after three months of wait, I expected to have a diagnosis and treatment plan from my doctor. Instead, I got an appointment with a surgeon "just to be sure", and an appointment with a GP to get referrals to two other doctors for more appointments. Meanwhile, my health gets worse and worse. 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, after I found a mental help app that I actually liked, it referred me to a doctor after only two days of using it. FML
Today, I had a doctor's appointment. I arrived early so I could check in with the receptionists about this weird communication mixup that's caused me to miss my last two appointments. Despite what my appointment card said, I arrived to find the office closed. FML
Today, my psychiatrist said, "Well, good luck." at the end of my appointment. FML
Today, my mom read my diary. Then she frantically booked me an appointment with a psychiatrist. FML
Today, I went to see a doctor about some of the memory problems I've been having. After the appointment, I could barely remember a thing he told me. FML
Today, I was supposed to have a hospital appointment I've been waiting three months for, but they changed it to a phone call. The call consisted of the consultant asking questions and saying, "Yes, I see that in your notes", before concluding I need to a physical appointment and booking one… for three months' time. FML
Today, I went to the local emergency room, upon recommendation of my psychiatrist, because I was depressed to the point of being suicidal. They sent me home because there were no beds available. FML

I know that skin conditions also take a toll on your self esteem. Hang in here, OP.

So when you said your acne was "crazy bad", he took it literally?

Did you go to the doctor because your skin stopped sparkling, or because your werewolf fur was shedding?

Sounds like psoriasis, coming from one who has this chronic skin condition. Acne pales in comparison. However, there are treatments that make life manageable.

Woah, that's some crazy acne! I'm curious what ailment you had that brought you in the office and resulted in a dermatologist and a therapist?

That's okay, I recently left mine with referrals to a therapist, gyno, AND a gastrologist (sp?). I feel you op.

I thought this is a true FML. Having a skin condition as well needing a mental doctor. But they go hand in hand because skin conditions can be depressing.
