“It dawned on me that in-session #busyness was masking a lot of #anxiety. I felt a great deal of pressure in the #therapeutic role which I coped with by “doing.” Just #listening felt #unproductive, a bit like slacking-off.": buff.ly/rVhHNo3 via @awaisaftab.bsky.social #psychologist

"But in the end, I found a #medication that started to help. I was wrong—it wasn’t too late. I was, however, extremely fortunate to have the #support of my mum, who cared for me.... The result is I am alive today.": buff.ly/gBDiNpP #mother #psychiatry #MentalHealth by @alexmendelsohn.bsky.social

"Now’s the time to do some simple #digital #decluttering. These little tasks are actually highly #productive. They’ll increase your #efficiency when you’re back in swing.": buff.ly/J5s9tqx #surgery

"I’m finally coming to terms with the fact that #people can leave our lives at any moment. It has taught me to be present & just enjoy the #moment & I’m more #grateful for my other #friends who have taken up the slack.": buff.ly/qD3OJa1 by @lisaorchard.bsky.social #friendship

"Rushing the #process will leave you frustrated..be patient & enjoy the process no matter what your level of #fitness or #illness is, we can all achieve our #goals. We just need to be patient and celebrate the process.": buff.ly/sHbrrwt by @beverleybutterfly.bsky.social #ChronicIllness

“Some rush to minimize ("Everyone gets tired"), some to solve ("Have u tried yoga?"), some to compare ("My aunt had something similar &..."). Few know how to simply witness, to say, "That sounds incredibly difficult. I see you carrying this"”: buff.ly/ozxI2Gl #ChronicPain #empathy by RoiShternin

"it must have an evolutionary history..advantageous in some way, enabling the mourner to #survive long enuf to reproduce & pass his or her genes to the next generation. Otherwise, #NaturalSelection would have weeded out #grief long ago": buff.ly/QjBV0K3 via @laphamsquarterly.bsky.social #loss

“Why can’t we be like that all the time? Why does it take a #tragedy to bring us all together and work together regardless of political ideologies, sexual orientations, or the different shades of our skin?”: buff.ly/NTqrnbT by @lisaorchard.bsky.social #community #society #humanity #empathy

"It’s sad, but I remind myself that #friendships are elastic. Sometimes they have to stretch wide & it’s almost like they break, but then they snap back. Then again, sometimes they don’t. Some friendships aren’t meant to be #forever.": buff.ly/nX6H0ld by @lisaorchard.bsky.social #friends #spoonies
