One more time for those at the back: you can’t tell if someone is abusive in their domestic relationships just cos they are nice to you or people you know.

@DaniChadderton I hear you. I hope it lifts for you soon, and that you can rest in the meantime. x

@madsclinpsy Definitely there’s a chance, I wouldn’t say it’s that late tbh, as people are still making decisions. I got my reserve place mid May and it kept moving into June :) best of luck!

Some things you should know about those with chronic illness.

Just because we were able to do a task one day, doesn’t mean will be able to do it the next.

Our illness is unpredictable, just because we are having a severe symptom day today, doesn’t mean we will have severe symptoms tomorrow.

We need rest, if we don’t allow our body to rest, our bodies will force us to rest, usually resulting in a flare.

We don’t want to cancel plans, In fact, we really want to see our friends and family, but the unpredictably of our illness causes us to cancel sometimes.

Yes, we’re doing everything we can at the moment, we are taking medications, supplements, trying new things, researching, seeing doctors. We’re always looking at how to improve our health.

No, we don’t want your unsolicited medical advice, unless we specifically ask.

@meg_knight_ Congratulations that’s such good news!!! :)

@DrSArmstrong I really like ACT made simple and there is a client workbook as well that’s great to use alongside it. They have all the worksheets etc for Russ Harris’ books here too :)

When someone with chronic illness tells you they are fatigued please understand that it is different from ordinary tiredness.

Our fatigue means we are drained, physically, mentally, and emotionally to our core .

We have nothing left in us .

Trying to function with fatigue is similar to a healthy person having stayed awake for a week straight and then expected to run a marathon.

For some of us, this fatigue is every day, all day, 24/7.

No amount of rest will fix it.

This is our reality.

Pushing through this fatigue can have consequences, sending us deeper and deeper into a flare state, lowering our immune system, lowering our baseline.

So please, when someone with the chronic illness, tells you they need rest, don’t ask why, don’t ask what they have been doing, just allow them to rest.

Cool way to stigmatize kids with chronic illnesses as underachievers, bro.

@madsclinpsy Best of luck!

@Shrink_at_Large Badly - support for those ND/with long term conditions is just not there. No option for hybrid learning. Agree with all other comments re EDI. Well - I’d say personally that placement supervisors have been much more flexible in terms of adaptations and support.

[Em @emerleeH21]

@madsclinpsy Well done! Happy for you to dm as I am a trainee there :) x
