Journal – Week 24, June 2026
Well, it's been quite a week! Mostly, I struggled with a lot of pain, due to a big muscle in my back making a mess of things. Monday to Tuesday night, I almost called emergency services due to the pain. Then, something popped hard, which gave some instant relief. But, the rest of the week was dominated by my back being just awful. I was fortunate to get some help with Koa, as several neighbors and mum have taken him out on a normal walk for a few days. Koa started to lose his little sharp puppy teefs, which meant a lot of biting. He's been more naughty, doing things he knows he should not be doing. As I struggled with my back having a more bitey, and naugty, pup wasn't the easiest thing to deal with. I ordered some things for Koa, and I got my ordered pictures delivered, so I could add them to the old skool photo albums. It was a hard week, due to my stupid back. But, we made it through the best we could.

Journal – Week 23, June 2026
June has began! A new week, kicking off a new month! The week started with a long day, as on Monday, early evening, Koa got his first puppy class with my mum and me. And, Koa had some practice with being alone downstairs, while I was upstairs. And... yes, there is more! 😉We're slowly making some good progress with the "sit" and then "give paw" command! Yay for not so little Koa! 🐾 As the week progressed, Koa seemed to struggle a bit with some of the things he already did nicely. Unfortunately, it also meant that I didn't get the proper sleep that I needed, and I got grouchy at times, and I struggled more with my spoons and emotions. We had a few bad nights, and a few more decent ones. But it was still hard for me to deal with the combination of being tired, being sore, and all these mixed emotions...

Journal – Week 22, May 2026
On Monday, mum and I had our first puppy class, which was a two-hour theory class. Most of it, I already knew, but it was interesting nevertheless. Tuesday, mum and I took Koa to Germany, so he could get a new harnass. We found a beautiful one that fit, and thanks to a kind lady, I even got some discount on it! I went to physio, and then picked up Koa, to head back home. Wednesday and Thursday were more relaxing days. They were warm days, as the whole week has been rather warm, so we stayed inside a lot, and tried to keep cool. On Wednesday, Koa's new GPS tracker arrived, so I had some fun on Thurday, setting it all up. It was costly (the subscription I took for it), but I think it will be worth it. I hope to never need it for real, but should something happen, than at least I should be able to find my little dude. Friday was a busy day, with the vet and physio visits. Saturday, we tried to take it easy, as Sunday would be a busier day again, as it was my mum's b-day. Unfortunately, the pain in my lower back, and leg, didn't ease up a lot. And, on Sunday, I got another "ouch" to add to "the list". Ah well... A weather forecast infographic from "Weer & Radar" showing a 14-day weather trend for Herpen, dated May 25, 2026.

"if more people with medical conditions were validated by doctors¹ or at least had a support group full of people in the same situation as them², they wouldn't need to seek things like dietary supplements or other temporary fixes regardless of how well they work compared to getting actual treatment"
Is that it? Have we really stooped to "only validation matters" as the only acceptable form of help?
Someone who feels heard but remains with many, many problems hasn't actually been helped with them. People seek alternatives because the solutions available to them often don't work for them or the situation may not be adequately managed with said available solutions, regardless of how validated they feel.
If we accept that only validation matters as a form of help, we risk telling people who expect better or anything remotely more meaningful to just be grateful they even have validation in the first place.
If a doctor just so happens to recognize that someone's assigned condition has turned out to be a misdiagnosis for a more severe or benign condition while offering either: heavy-handed treatments full of medication and invasive therapies without consent, or, overly conservative treatment that feels like no treatment at all (or even literally no treatment at all), that's basically inadequate treatment on the hollow premise that "only validation matters" and nothing else. It's a hollow gesture.
People try things with weak evidence because the alternative is suffering at the hands of incompetence or false premises, whether systemic or individual (as in the doctors and other people involved in the healthcare system, not the people in need themselves).
We're basically excusing inaction by making it so that emotional (at best) or practical (at worst) validation becomes an acceptable endpoint, even as conditions become more severe and treatment-resistant over time without adequate help. In other words, it's saying that we must put up with accepting only validation and nothing more. And needing more becomes a "burden" to others "only trying to help".
All this mentality does is ironically reinforce the worst stereotypes about people with physical and mental illnesses.
#Health #Healthcare #MentalHealth #PhysicalHealth #Validation
¹doctors who just so happen to recognize the actual reality of a patient's lived experience for practical/insurance reasons
²random people who may be in the same situation as them, but also have wildly different ideas as to what works and what doesn't, which may cause some conflict and incompatibility
(note: this is not to say that validation is completely worthless but rather, ideally, we should have validation plus meaningful help, not one without the other)
