@christinewrutzen: I’m so glad my husband was there to support me through a lot of this ❤️medical stuff scares me and insurance stuff confuses me. My husband used to work at a health care center as IT so I felt I was in safe hands. The hard part for me was deciding what center to choose and then what doctor. The decision paralysis is real. I HIGHLY recommend body doubling tasks like these, when you are scared you don’t know what your doing, it gave me the motivation to go all the way to the end (even with 4 weeks extra procrastination). And the online scheduling, no matter what I did it, after filling out different questionnaires, it took me to a blank page and told me to start over (not shown but I did this for like 5 different sections 🥲) Also if anybody knows what this is on my hand and tells me it is cancer, I will cry. #procrastination #adhd #executivedysfunction #doctor #appointment
In your defence, I think the American healthcare system confuses and scares most of the world.

Pro tip: pretend to be your own secretary. You’re not making an appointment for yourself, you’re doing it for your boss. Maybe it’s the people pleaser in me but this gets me making the uncomfortable phone calls so much quicker

I procrastinated 10 years then ended up in the hospital with a really serious condition, so I'm really glad you did this!

This is so relatable. I mean your whole series is, but this one really hits home. 😂 congrats on getting it done! I hope the doctor can help solve the bump mystery!

As someone who works in a derm office, this is how this goes. Like, down to the Start Over screen and everything. And nobody knows how it works so nobody fixes it. Good job tho you got through it. I hope the bump was nothing.

I finally changed my last name with social security last week. I’ve been married for over 4 years and always had the intention of changing my name. I spent 7 minutes in the ss office

Make it for the primary, and they will refer you to a dermatologist.

I took a sick day last year just to figure out dr stuff. I found a new gyno, made an appt, and rewarded myself with a treat after

Decision paralysis and complicated hoops to jump through combined with fear of the results can be debilitating! Proud of you! Side note, that customer service phone voice is perfection! ❤️

you're being literally so brave right now. phone calls are awful. I've worked in healthcare (including dermatology) since 2017 and it's a mess!
starting with a primary care doctor is a great idea and they can remove and biopsy it, or send you to a derm Dr.
you're doing so great!!

Gurl. This shit is so hard. I am a psychologist, and I help people get through this stuff a lot. It’s so draining. And honestly, I need a lot of help with this stuff, too.
