thank you maxwell and dew you two are precious
i went to an appoint at the hospital earlier this week for a physical issue. i have been waiting six months for this appointment so it was very important to me. the doctor i met asked me a billion question about my life and health and what not. throughout this meeting the doctor asked me THREE TIMES if i have had trouble keeping up in school. every time i replied no i was always doing quite okay with following the learning level in school, despite all my mental health struggles. only near the end of the meeting the doctor mentions that she went through my journals from when i was in psychiatric care and brought up the fact that i scored 71 on an IQ test when i was 13. this FUCKING test. its been 12 years and its still being brought up at every fucking health appointment i have. it should have never been documented. what happened was i were a severely socially anxious kid being put in front of this test without really knowing why. two strangers looked intensely at me, one scribbling down notes and the other holding a stop watch, while i tried to work my way through the sheets, deadly scared of answering anything wrong and overthinking every answer. i dont think i even got halfway through the test before i completely shut down. it was very traumatic. and still they decided this was done properly to come up with true results. and now its just haunting me forever. every health professional think i have extreme low intelligence until they talk to me for a while and i get to explain the situation to them. im just so fucking tired of it. its been twelve years. its humiliating.
