Liver health matters #liverdiseasessuck #liverlife

[Daily Nation @NationAfrica]

Anne Loko walked into a dermatologist's office in 2021 looking for answers to what seemed like a routine skin problem. She had no idea that the visit would unravel a life-threatening illness, push her to the brink of death and end in a liver transplant thousands of kilometres from home. #HealthyNation https://t.co/n4cQlGvaSC

If all of your graciousness is saved for strangers, that is not kindness, it's image management

[Annalise Keating @Ariannnyy_]

The internet has blurred the line between proximity and equivalence. Being able to reach someone doesn’t make you their peer.

@Theholisticpsyc Unavailable feels like home if home was unavailable.

You’re chasing a feeling you’ve been trying to fix since you were a kid. Reaching for someone who couldn’t reach back and calling it love because that’s what you were exposed to early.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

You crave depth, being seen, and vulnerability, and they crave distraction, avoidance, and solitude.

They things get difficult, their first instinct is to leave or shut down.

Yours is to come together and figure things out.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

When someone's emotionally unavailable, you can feel completely alone in the relationship. You're trying to connect, trying to find middle ground, or trying to "get" them, but they push you away every time.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

An emotionally unavailable partner slowly puts your body into survival mode.

Here's Why:

[Daniel Wortel-London @dlondonwortel]

Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will

This sentence by Van Gogh hits hard:

“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”

@OrevaZSN Accessibility is a long-term investment in everyone’s future

[feyisayo 💸 @feyiszn]

They definitely lied. What doesn't kill you does not make you stronger. It traumatizes you and leaves you hypervigilant for years.

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

Your chances of being able bodied your entire life are slim to none. It is always in your best interest to advocate for a more accessible world.

[Renal Patients Society of Kenya @renal_ke]

Renal Patients now finding out that having a benefit package & getting the benefits are not the same thing. The SHA system has been throttled to deny benefits. The approval system is lengthy, tedious & permanently in a foul mood. Very frustrating !
@duale @DrMercyHealth @AbdiMD

[Renal Patients Society of Kenya @renal_ke]

Access to the RRT benefit package has been reduced to once a month,meaning we can't get labs & meds in the same month. This is despite the 16k monthly allocation not being depleted. Only accessible at KNH & MTRH,a big inconvenience to many

Sadly a lot of 'intellectuals' lack the capacity or will to build and sustain platforms for national conversation. Because its genuinely hard, and that grind sucks. So they will have to settle for being critics and commentators like the rest of us

[Ty Ngachira @anto_ty]

Your ability to recognise. rationalise, and label your emotions (inadequacy, rejection, abandonment) will not stop you from eventually facing and feeling them

Intellectualising gives the illusion of control.

Understanding the game doesn't preclude you from having to play it.

[Renal Patients Society of Kenya @renal_ke]

The SHA Renal Replacement Therapy Tariff for Kidney Transplant management is rigged to throw patients off at every turn. Only accessible at KNH & MTRH,it is out of reach to many. It only allows one access per month meaning you can't get labs and meds same month. Hii ni Hujuma!
