Nurse practitioner Justin Gill writes from the frontlines about the killing of Alex Pretti and why nurses nationwide are sounding the alarm on federal enforcement actions, public health, and human rights. Essential reading. www.meidasplus.com/p/meidas-hel...
Federal immigration officers have shot 12 people since September as the DHS has ramped up deportation operations around the country.
In the majority of the shootings, officers have fired into cars — a tactic that authorities and policing experts have been trying to curtail. nbcnews.to/49TLGSx
"We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man."

Did you know it is in fact NOT normal to recall memories as a third person “watching”? *laughs awkwardly* #thanksit’sthetrauma #dissociation #derealization #depersonalisation #traumaresponse #therapy

Most people say exactly what you've said I don't remember the trauma It couldn't have been real other people have had it worse I'm probably just making it up but that's exactly how DID works You're not supposed to remember that was the whole point of splitting. The system was created you're protect you from knowing. And you've described parts, co-fronting, amnesia switching, passive influence, internal conversations, trauma roles, internal families, protectors, caretakers, littles, executive control and handing off.... That's not manipulative daydreaming. Does not imagination. that's DID system behavior and I say that with guarded clarity and I think it's not something you made up but something your brain built to save your life

I feel #depressed. But I guess at least I don't feel overwhelming #anxiety, right? I want to know what #PEACE feels like. I want to feel it in my #soul instead of this rotting, molding, #emptiness. #mentalhealth #mentallyill #depression #isolation #exhaustion #fear #chronicallyill #chronicpain
I wish our #cats weren't little assholes and would cuddle with me. But no, not going to happen. I miss Gideon. He was such a great little #dog. I miss him coming into my room and just lying on my legs so I can't move. I miss having a connection with someone/thing other than my fucked up head.
I am so #disappointed in myself. I had to break down and take my #Lorazepam because nothing I was doing was making my #anxiety go away. None of the tools I have were working. Not #breathing, not #meditation, nothing. And now, not only do I not feel any anxiety, but I don't feel anything.

This gave me goosebumps. ❤️
So day 3 of #prednisone to help break this #migraine. No relief. My #anxiety is through the roof with the shitshow that is now the US. #Depression so bad I just want to #dissociate and #sleep until this is all over and if I happen to not wake up..the SI is strong today
If there's money for wars then there's money for Medicaid

Let's see if #prednisone helps with my #headache that has gone away and I have had for a week. This heat is not helping matters. #spoonie #migraine #occipitalneuralgia #neckpain #fibromyalgia #WTF #neurologicaldisorders #disorders #chronicpain #chronicillness #chronicallyill
I looked this up, and yes, it is real. I've included an article about it in the comments.
Please share for those who may need it.
Thank you!

oh I forgot one:
14. How can your daily pain be a 7-8? You don't look like you are in pain to me. ( I am never not in pain, gtfoh)
10. Have you tried not being so stressed?
11. Are you sure you are really that anxious? You seem fine to me
12. Try to get more sleep
13. <name a medication> didn't work for you? well how about we try <same name of medication> because I haven't had a pt tell me it didn't work.

You know that feeling you get when a #headache / #migraine finally breaks? I find that feeling better than sex/an orgasm. I spent another day rotating ice packs and using my awesome heating pad.
