@davidrkadler @gjonesbass And who votes to criminalize what they all did to Haiti? The list is long.

President Trump says he will impose a 10% global tariff on top of those remaining in place after Supreme Court ruling striking down emergency tariffs https://t.co/72pvRacpRF

@theGrio I am not sure how this is different than the issues that we have seen with other cultures and attacking black women how much more women -people. If we cannot be kinder to our own then ultimately it is a reflection of his lack of compassion towards himself.

[Dr. O @TheTeenDoc]

@cnnbrk You have taken all accountability away through destroying systems that allow us to find information. And promoting people who have no problem lying. You can say anything you want. This headline does not feel true.

[Dr. O @TheTeenDoc]

@theGrio I agree. Are you serious with this news article?

[Dr. O @TheTeenDoc]

@JourneyofHope4U It will be critical 2 understand that psychiatry, mental hlth n medicine are so colonized that the goal is to make those who should be clients -children so they are no longer able 2 question the society they are in. This is the reason U can’t change Rx which would signal equals.

Are we great yet?

#MAGA don’t regret voting for the worst candidate ever. They regret their vote is negatively affecting them.

[Dr. O @TheTeenDoc]

@theGrio @MrGerrenalist At what point will you stop normalizing chaotic behavior so that you accept things have changed. The perception of black history was never meaningful. Please revisit the MLK revisionist history.

[Dr. O @TheTeenDoc]

When people close to us give up, it can feel like there were no signs. But we can’t see in others what we refuse to see in ourselves. Please validate the suffering you are experiencing FIRST. #anxiety #depression

[Dr. O @TheTeenDoc]

Being able to see inequality in an event requires you to see the inequality that occurred in your own childhood. People who say they are not being biased are avoiding seeing how they were treated by someone they wanted to get approval of.

[Dr. O @TheTeenDoc]

The love or validation, to be seen and heard by at least one person can free you internally so you can be free in this world. Otherwise nothing will prevent you from becoming what you hate in this world.

[Dr. O @TheTeenDoc]

You don’t owe anyone a belief in their way of doing things when your way speaks to you. This is even when they are your parents or family. Obligations are the way we control people with their guilt. #anxiety #depression

[Dr. O @TheTeenDoc]

FYI this lack of vocabulary is why people opt for silence when they try and express themselves.

If I’m your Twitter Therapist: This week’s homework is to identify your emotions and feelings.

This helps you put words to your emotions.

Let me know if you have questions. I’ll check on you mid-week.

[Dr. O @TheTeenDoc]

There are many topics we don’t think children should know that leave them struggling to figure it out on their own. This contributes 2 anxiety and depression from being helpless n overwhelmed in so many situations. Adding emotional vocabulary about difficult topics is empowering.

[Dr. O @TheTeenDoc]

But please make that something that comes from a place of internal motivation and connection rather than the hustle of externalized gratification

Self-actualization is taken from children who are restricted from becoming themselves through authoritarian or abusive parenting. It leaves them unable to start or complete goals because they never truly believe in themselves. #anxiety #depression

We don’t always recognize that we are in shame, but the behaviors that seem extreme are often a clue like lying, cheating, substance use or pretending to be something we’re not like happy. #emotions #anxiety #depression
