I, a fully grown adult, have a folder of memes I wish I could show ever medical person who was or is ever involved in my care.

Often, especially being autistic, and even more so being in chronic pain, remembering all the things you need to say and getting them out without interruption or distraction can be impossible, I wish communicating to medical staff via memes were normalised. Please spread the word among your colleagues.

Exactly! Preciate the validation lol

Sure thing, you're doing a good thing, and I genuinely hope to find (at least) a therapist one day who gets it in the same way.

Oh shit you're the person who posted that wholesome message that I then bastardized. I was honestly disappointed that mine got more upvotes

[–] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ha, you're good, upvotes are just pixels on the internet. The more people saw that meme, the better.

True! I just meant I was disappointed that people were more likely to upvote hate than love, but it's to be expected

Ha, I've only just now realised you changed the text (I honestly just scrolled past and assumed it was the same), and actually I can't blame them.. 😂

I think a combo of the kind one on top and the proactive one on the bottom would be perfect.
