If anyone knows this couple please let them know I have some pictures of the marriage proposal which took place, today around 3pm in Bourton on the Water. I was too late and lost sight of them before I could reach them.

Living with trauma is itself a trauma. It's not "just" about what happened "back then." It's also the however many years since of flashbacks, nightmares, dissociation, body memories, mood swings-- & the struggle to pretend it's all, you know, just a scratch. A mere flesh wound.

children who are constantly criticized grow into teens who learn to hate themselves for failing to live up to others’ expectations who grow into adults who reflexively over-apologize because they have been conditioned to believe they are always disappointing everyone

If you died today, the hospital/clinic where you work would replace you tomorrow. Spend time with the people in your life that love you, couldn’t replace you, and wouldn’t want to. And only do things that make you say Hell Yes and provide you purpose. #MedTwitter #MedX

Hey, how's this for autism 'awareness' month: some percentage of you who are reading this tweet are #actuallyAutistic and aren't aware of it. I'm going to post a bunch of questions I wish I had been asked in this context, years ago. This is not diagnosis! But it's instructive.

This whole post is ableist: 1) the notion that chronic illness can be cured by literally anything, and 2) the idea that “chronic illness” = stays inside all day. In conclusion, sun ain’t making my beta cells make insulin again. Full fucking stop.

Opinion If you're not a diesel mechanic you don't repair/tear apart the diesel engine Similarly, if you're not a pain specialist or have a close working patient relationship you don't mess with someone's long term stability by messing with their meds thoughtlessly

Complex trauma survivors often have this paradox going on where we really want to be invisible to most of the world, to stay safe-- but we really, really want to be seen by very specific people. And it's really triggering to feel invisible or disposable to those certain people.

It's not the dependence on opioids that puts CPPs at risk, it's the dependence on the doctor who prescribes it. It causes a complete imbalance of power, and with cops practicing medicine - often the doctor isn't even the one w the power. It's the DEA. We MUST get DEA oversight.

The ADHD tendency to multitask during TV and miss a crucial scene and rewind too far and get bored while waiting for the missed scene and multitask again and miss said scene, again. AND again. @drjenwolkin

Harshly critical of lying politicians of any Party. Insulin cost is NOT capped for most at $35. Only for Medicare and conditions do apply.
