Though your soul is so vast, your work is so terribly, desperately, achingly hard.
Please nurture yourself with the same care you extend to so many others.
Even - especially - if that means stepping back for whatever time you need.
No matter how much we give, the hospital will never love us back.
wishing you well Thanh....I try to take all the bad news coming in every day, and pack it away for awhile, by reading, going to movies, whatever. It's a horrendous time for all of us, so please take care...your followers care, and I'm just a new one 😘
Depression is expected. I know a therapist who described at as saying 2 + 2 =4 and I can’t stand it. Which is a good description of all of this. Try to find some relief as much as you can. Relish your cooking. Enjoy some nature. Laugh with friends. We all need little respites from the world now.
I was joking about putting Zoloft in the water… it’s a weight. I mean it’s already hard enough in the health care field without this overlooming existential dread. I have full on eye bags and am delirious with insomnia. Not saying that for pity, but more for solidarity.
Same. So much of the political stuff around queer folks impacts friends & family directly; I am one of many looking for work; & I'm caught between fear that I see where everything is headed & hope that I'm wrong & resolve to do what I can to fight & protect family & family assets before then.
Try to take joy in little things. For me it’s walking around a store or stopping for a tea at my favorite place. Little things can make everything seem more bearable.
Well, just make sure to pace yourself and take regular breaks from here. Your job is hard enough (I have incredible respect for what you do), everything else falling apart in the world certainly doesn't make things easier.
apologies I would like to clarify
I do not mean the past 9 years have been 'good'
I meant that it's been at least 9 years since i've been in the upside down.
It is a difficult time. I hope you can find the things that bring you glimmers of light and hope. You are a beautiful soul and have such kind eyes. I don't know you, but I'm sending you love and my very best wishes to stay strong. 💖🪷

You never know how lucky you can get, a healthy brain is a honed brain.
This year is rocking even the strongest souls...
I hope you have a little safe space in your life like a garden
I wish I could just be blissfully ignorant, but I’m just not wired that way. It’s really hard.
Know you are surrounded by difficult, sad situations every day.
So proud of all the good you do and the difference in the world you make.
On behalf of fathers everywhere 💙💪🙏
I hope you can access what you need. 💜
Here is Gideon being a menace
Do you have tools to overcome it?
Or a support network?
