Such excellent writing, use of repetition, and use of timing. I'm not from the US, and while I don't live in a country with (effective) socialized healthcare I do feel very fortunate to not have to deal with AS much red tape as this story shows. Thank you for your work.
This game is terrifyingly true and accurate. I live in America. I have Gender Dysphoria, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Anorexia, Suicidal Thoughts, and I'm still working up the courage to get tested for BPD. I have therapy and none of this has even started to get better. People say to be happy and I will be fine once I try it once when in reality it gives me anxiety attacks and I still am unhappy even after trying to love myself (which ends up failing horribly and making things worse). It doesn't help that I get bullied by family and peers for being LGBTQ+. I am Non-Binary with a female name (She/They pronouns) and Polysexual. I've been out for almost a YEAR and a lot of people around me don't respect it along with my family calling it a phase and saying I am gonna change it because it's "changed" in the past when really I was just confused on what I was (I did find it out eventually but my Gender Dysphoria will not go away because of my body. I am done with this country and how crappy it is with its health care system.
oh my god, i felt this. i have generalized anxiety, rejection sensitive dysphoria, depression, severe ocd, tourettes syndrome AND gender dysphoria. seeing anyone for anything is super expensive and almost pointless lmfao

This was really excellent but also DR. BEAVERBOTHER?!
great use of comedic timing that also instills a deep sense of existential dread
also; good to hear clinics in other parts of the country seem to operate on some kind of rotary phone based system as well.
