I’m sorry if this post is a bit too long or emotional, but I would really appreciate if someone read it and told me their thoughts. I feel very isolated in my experiences, and I would really appreciate being heard....
All the advice in the other comments is great. Advocate for yourself and don’t give up. Find people who can support you.
As someone that has struggled with mysterious issues as well, I just wanted to say that you’re not exaggerating or over reacting and you’re not alone. You’re doing your best to find help but the system is not working the way it should. Your family is supposed to support you. Your doctors are supposed to work to find a good diagnosis and relieve your symptoms. If they aren’t doing that you will need to do even more work yourself, which sucks. Push them when you can, and if they still aren’t responsive find a different doctor. I know it’s hard, and exhausting, and expensive. But you have your whole life ahead of you, it’s 100% worth it to get this figured out now.
The polishes are all Holo Taco - Aquafoil Featured Guest Not Milky White Cracked Taco Shell
To get the gradient I layered Featured Guest over Aquafoil on my middle finger and over Not Milky White on my thumb
The ghosts I did freehand using dotting tools and stamping polish for the white parts. Ghosts are forgiving because any wiggliness can be passed off as intentional haha

I’m due for an upgrade from my pixel 3, which I love but the battery life is getting very low. I’m very interested in this, but wouldn’t want to spend the money/resources on something that doesn’t work well for me. Getting something upgradeable, then discovering the quality is bad and it doesn’t last isn’t very sustainable.
If anyone has any personal experience with this phone I’d love to hear it!
I never considered that the model of phone would affect the coverage, that shows how much I know! Definitely something to consider, I drive through low coverage areas a lot and do not want to get stranded with no way to communicate.
And good point with the upgradeable vs repairable. It would be so cool if it was upgradeable! Making every new part backwards compatible would be a huge pain for the designers though. But like you said the battery is the real problem with most phones. I’d be very happy with a more standard phone that just had a replaceable battery!
Have you ever had an issue that you had to get support for? Whether it’s asking fairphone for help or just searching online for answers, did you have any trouble?
I am very clumsy and tend to drop my phone a lot. I worry that the disassemble-able design could make the phone less drop resistant, have you experienced that? (Or maybe you just have basic levels of hand-eye coordination and are able to hold on to a phone without issues lol)
They’re just both so upbeat and light. Although during lockdowns seeing happy people having close relationships with friends just made me more sad! Still, it was probably good to have those feelings bubble up so I couldn’t keep ignoring them.
How do you advocate for yourself when you have very strange (and possibly dangerous) health problems?

What are some companies that deserve to be boycotted to death?
So far my list includes Comcast, EA, and Nestle. Tell me yours, and I’ll help out.

Anyone have comfort movies or tv shows?
For me it’s Wolf children. I watch it when I’m not feeling the best physically or mentally. What’s your comfort watch?
