What is the hardest part of having a chronic illness?
Me: Oh, that's easy. It's the illness.

Parenting is a skill and therefore all parents need education and training on child development, social and emotional learning, and conflict resolution.

And then bed chem? Like? 😂 I love her

part of being a professional sick person is resisting the urge to respond to gaslighting doctors with 'first of all b*tch'

I have found my people lol

It’s been 35 days and my heart is still broken. I will never understand how so many could be so easily duped. I miss the joy. I miss the laughter. I miss the music. I miss the hope. I miss Tim Walz’ dad-isms.

Having an autoimmune disorder is sort of like being in an abusive relationship with yourself.

if you are able to do it, but it hurts you to do so, then you can't do it. Stop hurting yourself.

The PSA we need.

I can't believe we used to live in a world with three other human species. So freaking cool.

Living with chronic illness my life is ruled by my body, when i wake up my body says this is how we are dealing with today and i have to roll with it @spoonfulsofchronic

Therapist win of the day: I tried a new skill with a client and they loved it. They reported that they are excited to try it in the real world. 🥹 little wins like this are so important.

Been in a terrible flare up since Thursday. Really want to decorate tomorrow but don’t know if I’ll have the energy. Feeling bummed tonight.

I had to go to giant for some produce and it was awful but not as awful as I thought it was going to be. Godspeed 😂

I think it speaks volumes that right wingers criticize bluesky for being “liberal” and “left wing”, when it’s really just that hate speech isn’t allowed.

Just saw wicked. Ariana is massively overhyped and Cynthia isn’t being hyped enough.

What radicalized you? Comrade, I was told "Sharing is caring" as a child.

Sorry but maybe a left wing echo chamber is what we need! For too long we have been listening to the bad faith arguments of the right and it has proved ineffective and unproductive. The left needs a place like Bluesky to organize without the bad faith actors that have made a home on the bird app!

(my cat): oh sorry about stepping on your face i was just headed to the nightstand to knock over that water glass

Today I had my first family session w/o the identified patient and I was soooo nervous but it went well! I advocated for the child while sympathizing with mom and provided psychoed on neurodivergence. We love a therapy win!

Chronic illness. Particularly, dynamic disability from chronic illness.

Alright, let’s see if anybody can help me figure this out. I have hEDS and co. Including vocal cord dysfunction. Occasionally I get this weird clicking/popping/idk feels like a knuckle popping? Feeling deep back in my throat. It isn’t painful, more so discomfort, but isn’t affecting breathing. ?????

“Bluesky is an echo chamber!”

Our Reply: Echo chamber? Nah, we prefer to call it surround sound for facts.

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff.

I like this version of social media, and the world.

Thanks, folks.

*nervously building up courage* may I be added please ☺️

So. Bluesky.

Why don't y'all mask up in public anymore?

I’m so grateful for this. Thank you

My therapist’s baby had to join us today for session, those 4mo shots had her upset. Can I be honest? Best session I’ve had and I’ve had great sessions with her for years now. I love seeing my therapist as her human self and she inspires me to show my human self to my clients when appropriate.
