tired of being ill

[anesthetized]

thanks to an abundance of health problems, I also have an abundance of appointments I have to attend. I also have an abundance of fucking insurance issues because I'm poor. you need referrals for fucking everything and then there's prior authorizations and shit that doesn't get filed and then I, the patient, has to be the one to sort everything out so I can be seen by a doctor that wont do fucking anything for me, schedule a follow up, and send me on my way. I'm so tired of the fucking technicalities of the modern world. I'm always struggling to figure shit out. sometimes I just consider not going to doctors anymore because they don't do anything for me anyways and its just a fucking hassle. really, I wish I could just kill myself already so I wouldn't have to even worry about it. my whole life is going to be like this and I don't look forward to it. I don't look forward to any aspect of my future whatsoever. I'm just stalling and suffering in the mean time

I feel you. It's insane that doctors (at least in my country) don't offer online appointments for first visits; because all they ever do during those is note down you symptoms and tell you to schedule a second appointmenr for more testing. Mind boggling how there seems to be no sense of urgency anywhere outside of emergency care.

The worst is getting a claim denied. I once had to send in my entire medical file, letters from multiple specialists I'd seen, and several medical studies just to get approved for a relatively minor procedure.
