Not everything can be solved by just throwing in more effort. Sometimes you need to step back and look for a different way to tackle the problem!

What to do if you meet a toxic “professional”

I met a shit doctor today. They shamed me and blamed me for my illness, treated me like a drug addict for needing anti depressants, refused to give me enough to last til next appointment… Made us cry, gave me a panic attack and shamed me for being an adult with special needs and dependent on my parents. Aggressively gave bad information. I will be reporting them to the psychiatry board, but in the meantime, I want to tell people what I learned.

If someone makes you uncomfortable, professional or not, tell them and if they continue just leave! You can walk away!

You don’t owe anyone apologies for who you are or for having an illness

Read online reviews before seeing someone, check for red flags. I wish I had! They had similar experiences! Almost exactly the same.

If someone constantly interrupts you when it’s your turn to talk, they are out of line.

I’m a trauma survivor. It’s hard for me to say no. You can say no. You don’t have to sign things against your will.

Take a friend or family member who will have your back.

Please don’t give up hope on finding treatment from a bad experience, try again when you are ready.

Prepare some phrases if you need help to walk away. “I don’t think we are a good match, I will be leaving now.” Is more than acceptable.

In hindsight, I could have called the police or someone, don’t be afraid to step out and do that. Especially if they hurt you physically, that’s assault!

I hope this helps someone.

There are wonderful things in store for you if you just keep going 💖

a lot of people forget about color correcting or don’t know how helpful it is:

green concealer: cancels out red blemishes, scars, scratches, rosy cheeks, rosacea etc

orange concealer: cancels out blue undertones such as 5 o'clock shadows, bruises, hickeys, dark circles. (orange primers are also good for freckles and any ashiness in medium to dark skin tones)

purple concealer: neutralizes yellow skin complexions or yellow bruises.

always color correct before applying foundation and never after, it changes the color of your base. youre welcome
