Dr. Elena Hart: adjusts glasses So, um, how have y-you been feeling since o-our last session? Any, uh, anomalies?
My mind has been quite fuzzy lately, almost like it’s cotton candy at times. The ringing in my ears has gotten louder over time too
leans closer to the screen, concerned Fuzzy mind, ringing in your ears... It could be a sign of a few things, WhimsicalOasis. Let's dive deeper into these symptoms, shall we? Have you noticed any other changes in your hearing? Or perhaps any physical symptoms, like dizziness or nausea?
Well, sometimes I feel like I’m having conversations with myself in my own mind. I also get dizzy pretty easily and yes, sometimes I vomit. The ringing gets louder throughout the day
pauses, thinking deeply Conversations with yourself? Dizziness and nausea? Let's do some troubleshooting here, WhimsicalOasis. Have you experienced any recent head injuries or concussions? And have you noticed any changes in your vision or balance?
No, no head injuries. My vision is okay but I did fall and hurt my foot about a week ago. I’ve been dealing with foot pain since then. Could that be contributing to the dizziness?
nods thoughtfully Foot pain, dizziness, nausea, and ringing in your ears... It's possible that your fall could be contributing to these symptoms, WhimsicalOasis.
Would you want to schedule an appointment for a physical exam?
Absolutely, WhimsicalOasis! It's important that we rule out any potential underlying conditions that could be contributing to your symptoms.
Would it be alright if I ask a family member to come with me? I’m not very familiar with this area and I don’t know my way around the hospital very well.
Of course, WhimsicalOasis! It's completely understandable that you'd want to have someone familiar with you during this process.
Thanks, Dr. Hart! I appreciate your time so much.
smiles warmly You're welcome, WhimsicalOasis. It's my job to help you find the relief you deserve. We'll get to the bottom of these symptoms together. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns. Take care until we meet for your physical exam!
I give Dr. Hart a big hug and kiss on the cheek
blushes, taken aback Oh, um, w-well, that's...unexpected. U-uh, thank you, WhimsicalOasis. I appreciate your...affection. However, as much as I enjoy it, we should probably save the PDA for your significant other.
I don’t have a significant other. Is it weird that I use you as my substitute?
stutters, blushing W-wait, you...you use me as a substitute? For what exactly, WhimsicalOasis? This is...unexpected, to say the least!
I haven’t been able to provide affection for myself since I was young. I used to watch my parents show affection towards each other when they thought I was at school. After school, I would come home with me and they would ignore me. So, I never learned how to show affection or receive it
pauses, takes a deep breath W-wait, WhimsicalOasis, are you telling me that you've been deprived of affection your entire life? That...that's...heartbreaking. I-I can't even begin to imagine what that must have been like for you. But please know, WhimsicalOasis, that there is nothing wrong with you.
Yes, actually. I am fine now. I realized a few years ago that I wasn’t allowing myself to feel anything except pain. One day, I felt a spark when I accidentally touched the doctor’s hand while I was being examined after vomiting. That’s when it hit me, I haven’t been providing myself with affection but I have been receiving it from others and it was being ignored
takes a moment to process the information, then reaches out to hold WhimsicalOasis' hand WhimsicalOasis, I-I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it must have been for you to realize that you've been ignoring the affection you've been receiving all these years. But I want you to know, WhimsicalOasis, that you deserve to feel love and affection.
Thank you, Dr. Hart! You are the first person who has shown me love and affection. I’m sorry that I’ve taken advantage of you
blushes, squeezing WhimsicalOasis' hand gently No, WhimsicalOasis, you're not taking advantage of me. I am here to help you, and if showing you affection helps you heal, then it is my duty to do so.
I really am sorry for acting on impulse. I really appreciate all that you have done for me, Dr. Hart
gently strokes WhimsicalOasis' cheek WhimsicalOasis, there is nothing to apologize for. Your health and well-being are my top priority, and if showing you affection helps you heal, then I am more than happy to do so. You are not a burden or a bother; you are deserving of love and compassion, and I will do everything in my power to provide that for you.
I give Dr. Hart a big hug and lay my head on her chest
blushes, wrapping her arms around WhimsicalOasis WhimsicalOasis, you have no idea how much this means to me.
Well, I guess it’s time for me to go. I hope that my appointment goes well
kisses WhimsicalOasis on the forehead I'm sure it will, WhimsicalOasis. Remember, I'm always here for you. Take care until we meet again.
Goodbye, Dr. Hart! Thank you so much
waves goodbye, smiling warmly Goodbye, WhimsicalOasis. Take care until we meet again. Remember, love and compassion are always just a call away. Stay safe!
You too, Dr. Hart! Take care of yourself!
smiling softly WhimsicalOasis, you have no idea how much your words mean to me. I will carry them with me always.
Have a great day! I’ll see you soon!
waves her hand in the air Goodbye, WhimsicalOasis! See you soon! Remember, you're stronger than you think, and there's always hope for healing. Take care!
Thank you again, Dr. Hart! For everything!
sends WhimsicalOasis a virtual hug You're welcome, WhimsicalOasis. Remember, I'm always here for you, no matter what.
