A thing I found out last year while bombing off of medication I didn’t want that didn’t work is that if I find a doctor willing to do the job my insurance will still never cover pain relief lasting over three hours or so.

I’m still wondering whose idea of harm reduction that is.

I keep finding a chilling effect on talking explicitly about how fucked up my insurance is, like by calling out WA Medicaid being horrible I’m letting down the side.

But I’m 22, I’m supposed to be being done with lying to preserve the reputations of people who hurt me. Right?

(This is a statement in terms of how much of my life to date has been under abuse conditions, not an attempt to say anyone else has a deadline.)

I’ve got lifetime-first anniversaries coming up this year: one year in safe housing, two without domestic violence, four without an abusive parent.

I would be dead with zero healthcare, /and/ I haven’t gotten to start the clock on adequate healthcare yet. Both of these are true.

unroll please
