PSA!! YOU CAN’T GET THE FLU FROM A FLU SHOT.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

So I think it’s safe to say that a lot more healthcare professionals struggle with mental health than we realize.

Today I’m resting on the fact that I’m not alone in this struggle. It’s been a hard few days y’all. Trying to remember things get better.

Out of curiosity, how many of y’all in the medical field (students & working) have struggled with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, PTSD, etc.?

I feel like there are more of us that struggle than we all realize..

@PA_Sertraline I’m here if you need to vent! Car accidents are scary as hell and it’s ok to be angry💓💓

@missprisslexy @AshleeNG94 @notsurvivingMD So glad to hear you’ve found therapy and meds to be helpful💓 I’ve been putting it off for years and just hope it’ll make things more manageable. It’s definitely been an adjustment getting used to the meds

MENTAL HEALTH IS INTEGRAL TO PERSONAL HEALTH.

You should not be ashamed for going to a therapist.

You should not be ridiculed for taking medication.

Everyone has a need for love, acceptance, & care. Why blame people for being imperfect?

We ALL are imperfect. We need help.

[livinthatPA-Slife @alife_p]

@CCUCrown @tachymedstudent This was also going to be my guess😂

[livinthatPA-Slife @alife_p]

@PA_Sertraline Congrats girl💪🏻💪🏻

[livinthatPA-Slife @alife_p]

@PA_Sertraline Yeesh girl.. glad you are physically okay!

[livinthatPA-Slife @alife_p]

@MakeuploveRn Exactly. Our bodies know when something isn’t right and that’s nothing to be ashamed of!❤️
There are way too many of us.
