I especially appreciate this point ~ that discontent is necessary as an indication that something needs attention. It’s the whole #symptoms are #messengers idea. If we just try to push #suffering away so we can be “normal” and functional, we might never understand the cause.

This is #dhamma territory for me. We need to build #distress #tolerance so we can turn toward pain ~ unless it is debilitating or causing harm of course ~ with wisdom and see the causes, not just the symptoms.

As a disabled person I’m so tired of visiting doctors/etc. so much. I don’t even go to them as much as some folks but I feel drained just thinking about it. I don’t have a fear of the setting or needles. Still I do get anxious even when it’s with someone that I’ve seen several times. Anyway. I have to go to get looked at because I still have bronchitis symptoms. (Bloody mucus being coughed up, real fun /s) I don’t care for that or for driving to go get prescriptions afterward.
