Mollie's Medical Bills For Head Wound&Concussion
Donation protected
So, I've had a crazy last couple of weeks. People have been reaching out and I figured, although it's pretty embarrassing and not the attention I like, that I just post it on here. Saves me the brain power.
A few weeks ago I got a concussion at work that brought me to the ER. It was mild, but very concerning. I've struggled with thinking patterns and recognizing my physical and mental ques when I can feel myself under stress, which leads to me responding in an unfamiliar way (kind of scary, considering how self aware I tend to be). On top of that, I was sent to the ER again as two nights ago a door was opened rapidly as I was trying to enter it from the other side and it spliced my forehead open, leaving me with five stitches in my skull. I feel defeated, disarranged, and frankly, not all that cute right now. I am concerned for medical bills and for the scar that will most likely impact my self esteem for some time (if anyone has any insight on cosmetic surgery or lazer treatment, let me know) I am worried for my brain physiologically as now this is blow #2 to the head.
I was thinking about starting a go-fund-me for the medical bills but that in itself is embarrassing. I am asking for any help or advice I can get at this point.
Overall, I've been rested and my family friends, employers, and coworkers have been wonderful and emotionally supportive in the process. I am one to usually post positive things about my life, but it's hard scrolling through social media while laid up in bed like this. Social media is phony at most, but if you guys haven't noticed, I tend to use mine to be as genuine as possible. I have my kitty cats, my cozy bed and many people who love and care about me. I write this to remind everyone that low points in life are real. Self care is real. And at the end of the day, humans need humans.
I am a strong individual, and I am reminded of that every day. Especially lately. But boy, am I sick of being strong sometimes. Love and light to anyone else who needs it.
I set up this account in an attempt to get any help I can get in this time. It's horrible embarrassing and defeating to be doing this, but I can't deny myself help when I feel I need it most. Even the smallest bit will help me move forward.
