Undiagnosed Howdy! 16yo with medical neglect.

[goodboy]

Hi, my name's Jean! I'm a sixteen year-old trans guy who suffers from....well, it sure is post-traumatic, anyways.

Since I kind of rely on the woman who's neglecting me medically, I'm only diagnosed with anemia, lol. I think I have some sort of LD/processing disorder, but, y'know, I'm no doctor.

I'd like to talk with anybody who likes to listen, but please break up paragraphs into short little bursts like how I'm doing in this post. Otherwise I won't be able to read what you write. Also, try and keep it relatively short.

Thanks for having me!

Welcome!

Are you able to seek out help in real life, outside this woman?

Welcome :) that must be hard knowing that you have PTSD symptoms but the woman you are relying on is neglecting this. Have you considered going to your GP or seeing if there is another professional who will address what is important to you? There is lots of support here so hopefully you keep posting :) welcome again!

Currently I rely COMPLETELY on her for medical care. I can['t even drive yet, so talking to a professional isn't really feasible right now.

It's Summer currently, but I'll be back in August. I plan on making friends with my counselor, lol :9

Not yet, I'm waiting for school to start again so I can acquaint myself with the counselor.

Until then, keep posting! You can learn lots of helpful coping skills and get support here. :hug:

Welcome. I am sorry you are in such an awful situation. Are you at least getting the vitamins you need for your anemia? Is it iron or another type? I struggle with severe anemia myself. It makes dealing with emotional stuff even more difficult, so hopefully you are getting the proper treatment for that at least.

Yes, I take vitamins and eat lots of leafy greens
