Is this the same chick that’s dating Ben Affleck now? Anyway it’s good advice.
Same for toxic family.
Except in the military. They don’t like when you go AWHOL
Well you can always leave…this existence

I quit a toxic job a few months ago. Scariest thing I’ve ever done. Best decision I ever made :)
It’s easy to quit something toxic, but how do you quit something where all people are well-meaning and friendly and trying to help you, but you are autistic and they simply don’t understand what that is? (And you also don’t know you are autistic yourself yet)
That was my first uni where I dropped out at winter.
I feel you, I dropped out of community college twice before I learned enough about how my brain works to finally find a program I could complete. First quarter: 4.0, second quarter: 0.0. Both times :(
Wester Governors University, an online program, was perfect for me and my ADHD. I didn’t finish quickly, or as cheaply as I had hoped, but I was able to finish.
Yeah, I’m still almost there, literally have only the final thesis left.
It’s Russia and online programs here are generally not very good, and this attempt is night school. But maybe I’ll do that before turning 29, ha-ha.
That’s amazing, against the odds you’re rocking it :) I’m rooting for you!
Right?! That shit IS scary. Crossing the fucking rubicon.
May I ask why? And if i might, why?
I quit without a plan. I just knew I was done and that was that.
The best you could do. Quit toxic things and/or people.
The doctor’s appointment is not a great example for the US because the system is so fucked. If the doctor is terrible, sit it out, and then request to never see them again. You don’t even have to say why (if/when the scheduler pressures you, just blame the free market: “my care will be better managed by someone else”). Because if you don’t like your healthcare in the US, you certainly can leave, but you will be stuck with the bill, and if it’s considered leaving “against medical advice,” you will be denied insurance coverage if you return for the same issue.
But also, make sure you have good reason to not like the doctor, regardless of financial implications. A doctor giving you bad news or making an honest but unflattering comment is an easy situation to want to leave, but bailing on that situation is not a good solution.
I’m not trying to say one should never take a stand, just that they should make sure of their reasoning before doing so.
Yeah, walking out would be more reserved for “why are you wearing that mask, don’t you know the pandemic is over?” or “don’t get (that vasectomy/your tubes tied, I know that you’ll change your mind later”.
Just basic science denial shit, or shoving somebody else’s culture down your throat while trying to pretend it’s compassion. Stuff that no competent doctor would do in the first place.

Idk “I’d rather you exercise and focus on a more nutritious diet than focus on a number on a scale or your pants. Let’s focus on getting you healthy so we aren’t just trading one eating disorder for another” is both the original meaning of that concept and probably the best approach for a doctor to take
Fat doctors telling you to exercise to lose weight 🫤
No they’re telling you to exercise because it’s necessary to maintain cardiovascular and muscular health as well as playing a role in endocrine regulation. Because it’s critical to a healthy lifestyle and it’s difficult to do.
The point of my comment was that there are elements of heath that are vital and associated with weight loss that are better separated from it because if you think of exercise as a “weight loss thing” instead of a “important element of a healthy lifestyle no matter your weight” you will be less healthy
The plus side is exercise does help regulate the endocrine system which can help you lose weight
Yet the doctor is fat, they explicitly say the exercise is for weight loss, the knowledge hasn’t helped them.
Oh of course, 100%. I wouldn’t suggest changing from providers for reasons other than really botched/mismanaged/negligent care. I don’t think everyone wants to give a reason to a scheduler for the switch because honestly they don’t need to know, and I would assume the patient is having conversations way above a scheduler’s level about any issues with a provider.
Some areas are lucky enough to have Kaiser. It’s just a quick click and you have a new doctor of your choice. Though the rest of Kaiser is falling to shit
I was lucky enough to have Kaiser
And now I have a permanently fucked up knee because of them
I’ve seen more people swear at Kaiser than swear by it.
Limper Permanente
I’ve been told at one office that they didn’t allow patients to switch doctors within the same practice. Currently, I live in a very small town, and am on Medicaid. I’ve been trying to switch to the only other practice in town (my current doctor has made 5+ screw-ups with medication, and has declined to write down my information and make requested referrals), but they’re dragging their heels. So I’m not holding my breath that it will be any better. Anyway, I guess my point, apart from the rant, is that the system is even more fucked than you say.
Hey, I’ve heard that one before, and big surprise, it was told to another Medicaid patient. It’s a lie that means “we don’t want our practice potentially making less money.” The provider probably doesn’t even know you were told that. I wish the gnarliest of 8th-dimensional waking nightmares on every admin who enables that bullshit.
The doctor’s appointment is not a great example for the US
It’s a terrible idea for the first world too, as our system was overwhelmed by Mah Raghts hillbillies begging the doctor for a miracle and physically threatening them for trying to treat the problem. Many medical staff left from all branches and levels of care because Fuck This. Now we’re stuck with very little service availability, and the very politicians who supported the aggressive halfwits are now convincing them it was the incumbent politician’s fault. and they’re believing it. We’re gonna be led by little Trumps next year.
Because if you don’t like your healthcare in the US, you certainly can leave, but you will be stuck with the bill, and if it’s considered leaving “against medical advice,” you will be denied insurance coverage if you return for the same issue.
Insurance is just a pain in general in the U.S. For instance some people might struggle to find a new doctor in their area if they’re dealing with a specialist and have specific insurance coverages which means cutting off their toxic doctor might be more difficult.
Burning bridges to escape toxicity is fine, just don’t strand yourself.
Yeah you can be rude. They know this
Personally, I just walked out of a Dr appointment because she wasn’t talking me seriously. Looking her up on healthgrades.com (no connection to me, my insurance suggested using it when I was unhappy) found her reviews ateast the negative ones to be spot on…
Learning to deal with unpleasant people and situations is part of growing up. It’s often better to grin and bear it, learn something for future you, then never go back.
OTHO, it’s a valuable message. You don’t always have to put up with the bullshit and should just bail.
So which is it? Well, figuring that out is an aspect of growing older and wiser.

This place is horrible. I’m leaving a 1 star review (the toilet wine is pretty good) and going to check in somewhere else.

Tiddes so it must be true
Phone calls too.
I have a friend who just won’t let you hang up. I’ve started just hanging up as soon as I say bye and not waiting for the other person on all my calls.
A couple years ago I rage quit a gaming session (during a break) with “Whelp, I’m gonna go do something I enjoy.”
My teammates understood. They were all very good at the game and I was not. I kept getting absolutely trounced, and was bringing them down with me.
It’s now sort of an in-joke/phrase we use unironically when the vibe is off but we still like our friends.
I quit my job yesterday cause it fucking sucked.
I’m sad because no money but that place was a hellhole and it was making me miserable.
I need this encouragement brocops if you’re quick 🤣
Looks like someone walked right out of their own flesh.
Came here for this
I just realized this recently. When you turn 18, nobody tells you that nothing is physically stopping you from walking out of whatever situation you happen to be in.
The schools have conditioned you not to for the past 12 years, why would they want to undo that?
Except for the judge at sentencing.
The bailiff is the guy whose job it is to physically stop you from walking out. The judge is there to be judgmental.
