What's the most trivial thing that ever made you go to the doctor?

What's the most trivial thing that ever made you go to the doctor?

Something in my eye got in it.

I wonder it's been 2 hours since I had something in my eye, what's in my eye that it hurts this much? It feels like something in my eye, but it won't go away! As far as I know, if something in my eye is not allowed to be rubbed. But what can I do, my eyes were so itchy that I ended up rubbing them until my eyes and eyelids started to turn red.

And, this is what's on my eyelids :)

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

It didn't disappear after all.

At that time I went riding a motorbike. Completely wearing glasses, a mask, and my helmet visor was closed. For some reason in the middle of the road around 3:00 p.m., my eyes felt very sore. Blinking several times did not relieve the pain, I finally bought eye drops because I thought it was just something that got in my eyes.

Finally at 19.00 I went to the eye doctor because I wanted to work on my thesis so it was hampered and it had been about 2 hours? How could something get in my eye for 2 hours? My eyes were already wet because I had been doused with eye drops + I rubbed them so that tears came out. My eyelids were opened by the doctor, it was a bit difficult to remove them but finally I could. The process didn't take long, only 15 minutes. The doctor was also an expert and luckily I wasn't laughed at by the doctor but the nurse was a bit shocked.

I found out I have cancer—I have not told my family. We can’t afford the treatment anyway. Should I just say nothing and let nature take its course?

It's really small, right? This is the problem, apparently. But after that, there's a new problem. I have to pay the service bill + medicine for my eye that got something in it, want ...

Finally I arrived at my destination, long story short after that I went home at 17.45 and my eyes were still sore. I held my eyes the whole way, so I drove the motorbike using only my right hand, with my left hand holding my eye (the one with the eye that got something in it). When I got home, I washed my hands then took some clean water and rubbed it on my eyes. I blinked my eyes again in the water in the hope that the pain would go away.
