When someone who is going through a healing process says they are lonely, it’s not always a lack of people, but a lack of supportive people. People who understand the depths of what is feels like to be turning your world upside down in order to find relief. To those, you are seen
I'd like to formally withdraw every single time I said "sorry" today at the dentist's office for oral surgery AND when waiting 75 minutes for prescriptions at the pharmacy.
I'm not sorry for hurting or being anxious or wanting answers or seeking comfort.
Remember when my allergist was like "UHM if you're unwilling to try a gf/df diet, I can't help" even after I explained my hx of eating disorders, then I overheard her telling staff that I had too many mental problems for them to fix my skin? 🥲 good times!
Several clinical studies have looked at elimination diets in people with #eczema & found they were not effective.
Unless someone has a diagnosed food allergy, cutting out essential food groups can be harmful.

I've taken the enneagram test like 8 times in the past couple yrs but I get wildly different results every time. And sometimes that irks the hell out of me bc I really am ready to dive into an enneagram obsession... like dammit just COOPERATE with me, rabbit holes of the world!
well dang the new placeholder text gives me a new flavor of anxiety (yes, I already HAVE several anxiety disorders, but trust me these panic pangs can indeed be directly attributed to the aggressive tone of twitter's new filler text/punctuation choices)

To all the companies calling people back to the office full-time: Don't mistake presence for performance.
Showing up is not a sign of commitment or contribution. It's an act of compliance.
What matters is the value people create, not the place they inhabit.
Imagine, at age 31, saving pennies to replace a handheld vacuum burnt out from 1 hr/day of use, cleaning up skin you shed in withdrawal from drugs taken as prescribed.
Imagine your doc denies his actions caused a REAL issue.
Then wastes your workday on a ghosted appt.
That's TSW.
I smell like wet dog.
Not because I'm petting a wet dog, but because I used topical steroids as prescribed. Now, 374 days steroid-free, I'm STILL plagued with bone-deep itch as my skin dries to a crisp, oozes plasma, and flakes off. Trying to replace itself on repeat.
Fuck TSW.

Can we stop following every fucking headline about shooting with "s/he is reported to have past struggles with mental health"- I'm sick of the fearmongering. Do y'all realize how many ppl would be diagnosed with mental illness if everyone was evaluated?!
My existence isn't wrong. But this quiet doubt exists in even me, an advocate. Someone who fell to rock bottom, invested in therapy, now stable. The way i see it, I represent the best case scenario. Not everyone is at this point in healing. For many, the doubts are much louder.
