Before you judge an addict, put your phone away in a cupboard. Now, every time you think about your phone, that’s what addiction is like..

The cultural push of mothers into the work force and the glorification of "working moms" made the role of parenting almost trivial. Parenting and upbringing has the greatest impact on who someone becomes. Supporting parents to understand attachment theory, coping skills, and emotional intelligence is the focus in a healthy society.

People saying “NHS staff knew the pay when they took the job, if they don’t like it they should leave” have no plan for what to do when that actually happens. Spoilers: it’s already started

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help.
I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

A number of people have recently said to me "you've lost weight, you're looking great!"
Here's why that's misguided and unhelpful, albeit entirely well-meant : a short thread.

I've never been popular - both in life & on social media. So this #InternationalWomensDay I'm giving a shout out to all those other women who've never felt good enough or been part of the 'popular' crowd. You don't need a super career or to be a super influential. Just be you.

When someone who is chronically ill tells you that they are exhausted, don’t ask them what they have done to be in this state of exhaustion, or minimise their tiredness bc you have done more than them. The energy use of a chronically ill person is MUCH different to yours

It’s nearly Christmas. A reminder that no one wants to hear a commentary on calories, portion sizes, how much exercise to burn things off, how much someone has eaten, how little someone has managed to eat, or any chat at all around food guilt. Let people enjoy themselves.

If you have anorexia gaining weight doesn’t mean you’ve recovered. However, you absolutely have to gain weight if you want to recover. It’s just not negotiable. This is something I have toyed with for years, which is why I’ve never recovered, and now I’m more well than ever.

One of the most dangerous things about eating disorders is the ‘unicorn syndrome’: the complete sense of invincibility that comes along with them. Nobody is immune to any of the side effects that come along with them, some people are just luckier than others.

What would life be like without being limited by your eating disorder?
