The guilt trip with #chronicillness & #chronicpain is real 💯 Many people, myself included, find it immensely difficult to deal with & that guilt can be destructive.

@DrJolel @drvicclarke @KBHealthPsych @DrJanSmith @Elise_Crayton @beckyhenders @1Nataliecarr @nickijobrien @BPSDHP_EDI @divhealthpsych In my MSC in HP, noticed the health& illness theories were written by healthy people.
They assume rationality is dominant in decision making & ignored that illness isn't temporary for most.
Health& illness academia needs more chronically ill people writing these theories.

Dear Fibromyalgia,

@trishgreenhalgh @JaneyGodley My thoughts exactly

@Dr2NisreenAlwan I agree. But have been asked several times by peer reviewers to make that clear. Some academics do indeed see it as a limitation of research

It’s perfectly normal to feel like a fish out of water during your PhD because you’re there to learn new and advanced things

If you already knew them, and hence were already comfortable with them, then there’d be no need to do a PhD because you wouldn’t learn anything

@drglennsullivan @samgosling92 The same is true for undergraduate psychology courses. Vast majority of students are female.
