I felt mentally sharp, if a bit emotional, but the weight thing was WILD

This rhetoric from Dems is actually feeding the regime's inflammatory anti-immigrant agenda. We do NOT need Dems continually repeating that they support removing NON-EXISTENT "dangerous criminals."

This is how industrial-scale murder happens. “Not enough capacity / logistics are unworkable / look what we’re already getting away with”
And then you have millions dead.

People really don't get that you do nonviolent protest specifically to generate THIS kind of thing.
It's not "be nonviolent so the cops don't hurt you"
It's "be nonviolent so the cops are seen HURTING NONVIOLENT PEOPLE"

I mean, I'm glad there are people who CAN, because it's a necessary profession...I'm just not one of them.

this is one of the reasons I decided not to pursue a clinical degree. Physicians are expected to act with such authority and certainty, all the while knowing SO VERY LITTLE. I couldn't deal with the moral injury of balancing those contradictions, especially with people's lives in my hands

my doctor was like 🤷♀️ and it took almost a year for my body to re-regulate itself and for my weight to go back to normal. Weirdest damn thing; there's so much we still don't know about how SSRIs affect the endocrine system.

I tapered off sertraline and gained 20 pounds in three weeks without changing a thing regarding my diet, routine, or exercise. I would literally wake up every day and be a pound heavier, and I kept assuming it was water weight or something, because the math wasn't mathing. But it happened.
