Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

For better or worse, if you weren't fat they wouldn't diagnose you properly either. I've been diagnosed with:
•Too skinny (this is particularly funny bc the complaint was fainting and both the low weight and fainting are from hyperthyroidism as I now know)
•Too tall
•'this is normal for young women' (if it were they'd all be unable to work traditional job)
•Psychosomatic ailment (depression on my medical record is the bane ofy existence)
•Just unlucky
•'this must be an unknown symptom of your existing illness'
•Lacking exercise (I do 2 hour long swims a week and walk 3-5k every weekday)
•Probably lying about the amount I drink (both water and alcohol)
Is this problem with only having male doctors, or do women doctors pull this bullshit too?
I had a female doctor, when told my joints hurt so much I couldn’t use my hands for basic tasks, say to me “Well what do you want ME to do about it??”
Lol I swear to God I've told doctors my symptoms before and their face looks like they're thinking "Holy fuck, you should tell a doctor about that."
