What is bothering me about the Corona virus reports is the assumption old people don’t matter much. When did that happen? “It’s only granddad Brian. He’s on his way out anyway”

Something I particularly appreciated about making this episode was the chance to explore obsessions and compulsions as embodied experiences. Few studies look at obsessive-compulsive disorder through an embodiment lens, but those that do are incredibly insightful. -KE #medanth

Before I started school striking I had no energy, no friends and I didn’t speak to anyone. I just sat alone at home, with an eating disorder.
