[David Kessler @IamDavidKessler]

Toxic positivity, even if well-intentioned, often dismisses one’s pain in grief. There is no silver lining in grief, and trying to find one will only further isolate your loved one. Being present and listening is far more meaningful than trying to find the "right" words to say.

The one kind of HOA I'd like would be one that's oriented around late-night, late-sleepers.

No leaf-blowers or any other loud work before noon.

PSA 📢

Emotional dysregulation (meltdowns, shutdowns, irritability, outbursts, depression, anxiety...) is NOT a behavior issue.

And if you treat it like one, instead of solving the problem (whatever is actually causing the behavior), you'll end up making it much worse.

While labels have both good and bad effects, it is important to understand that you are more than the words that describe you. You are a person with a collection of many unique and amazing characteristics and qualities! ❤️

to find out your 👻 ghost name:

Use your first name:

a - add “t” after it

e - add “boo” after it

h - becomes “s”

n - add “oo” after it

r - add “eee” after it

y - add “oo” after it

that’s it that’s your ghost name

You should put someone else's oxygen mask on first if they aren't able to and you can hold your breath for a bit.

Just as it’s hard for people with AN to feel heard, it was hard for me as a parent of a child with AN to get people to understand what a catastrophe we were living through.

That’s because, for most of her illness, my d wasn’t desperately thin. She looked almost okay. 1/2

Well folks, it's finally here!

Novavax XBB has EUA approval in the USA for everyone 12 and older, regardless of previous vaccine used.

Reaching this point has been the product of many volunteer hours organizing around Novavax.

And at one time, it was almost canceled. 🧵

Caring for your loved one with an eating disorder requires support for your own mental well-being as well. One way to prioritize your mental health is through connection with those who have similar experiences.

[Christoph Ströck @cstroeckw]

I'm sure some people fake illness, but for every one who does, there are probably 100 others who pretend to be healthier than they are. People do this both to appear strong and 'worthy' to the their community, as well as to reassure themselves that they will be okay.

Nobody thinks "all mental health problems" are attributable to trauma. Especially not trauma specialists.

It's BECAUSE not all mental health problems are attributable to trauma that trauma informed care is so essential to the treatment of ALL mental health problems.
