I think it probably says something about our society and healthcare that the only time I don't feel like I'm a melodramatic hypochondriac is when the pain flares up again.
even understanding on some level this is like a classic chronic illness experience, it still helps every time i hear someone else say that

Yeah, I'm sure it is classic. I got so used to being told that my pain was normal period stuff that I just needed to go home and deal with. Now it's hard to give myself permission to be upset that my surgery got postponed (capitalism) bc ofc my pain isn't real...
