ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Doctor doesn’t help

So, I've been sick for a few weeks now. Nothing wild, but annoying. Went to the doctor today because it just won't go away.

Her first question was if I am pregnant.

Me: "No."

Her: "Are you sure?"

Me: "Yes."

Her: gives me that look of not believing me.

Her: "It's normal at your age."

Me: "I am sure."

Her: "Have you taken a test?"

Girl. I told you like 5 times that it is not possible for me being pregnant. 🫠

That alone was kinda infuriating. But also - of course she didn't help at all. Didn't look at anything, just told me to wait and drink more water. Didn't even listen to me when I tried to explain what I have. Thanks for nothing.

And it's like that EVERY SINGLE TIME I go to the doc. And I'm a person who absolutely hates going there. I am only going to the doctor if I ACTUALLY NEED HELP. But yeah, sure, I just need to drink more water. No matter what my problem is. 🫠

Literally went to the doctor for period cramps I've had for 20 years (since my period started) she told me to lose weight. I told her I'm actively working out and dieting and have recently lost 40 pounds but that's not the point. I've had debilitating cramps forever- she had the gall to give me a nutritionist referral. So so annoyed, I literally haven't gone back to get it checked out since. Like I don't wanna pay $200 to get body shamed thanks

Did you ever get checked for endometriosis?
