This will be my most sincere tweet ever. I am pleading with anyone who will listen. I’m begging you, as a nurse, from the bottom of my heart…please get vaccinated. Today. I’m so tired. We’re all so tired. And we’re running out of resources and people. Please…please help us.

Finally getting around to watching The Crown & just remembered when my 10 y/o self asked my mother with all the earnestness in the world, why whales needed a princess to reign over them.

@thintechgodhead Same, literally about to delete my other reply to someone about this bc you’ve helped me see it from a different perspective and that’s like…a one in a million type interaction on here these days. I really appreciate you🩷

@thintechgodhead And as a nurse, I get frustrated with the misinformation and then I get sensitive about bc of my sibling and I say things in a shitty way. I’m genuinely sorry for how I worded my original tweet.

@thintechgodhead YES! My mother fought for me to be assessed and diagnosed in the 90s which was rare for girls then. And now it’s like a cute and quirky thing. Meanwhile I forget to eat, can’t brush my teeth, and don’t feel time passing. I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through all of that.

@thintechgodhead No I understand, I’m sure you have - so many people don’t believe or understand ARFID. I’m sure you feel that much more deeply than I do. I think thats just why I get sensitive about these kinds of videos cause it’s like the…TikTokification of ADHD if that makes any sense??

@thintechgodhead You’re right, I didn’t word that as well. I get concerned when I see things like this bc I have seen the genuine trauma and harm. And as we’ve all seen w/ other mental health disorders, over-simplifying can lead to trivializing but I didn’t convey that properly, im sorry.

@thintechgodhead And I genuinely, honestly hate that for you. I’ve watched my sibling struggle his entire life with ARFID and has been hospitalized many times due to starvation. I am truly sorry you’ve struggled with that. My intention is genuinely to ensure it’s NOT made light of.

@ThatLibRN i’ve had it for ten years and have been in multiple treatment facilities with other people that have arfid. educate yourself on subtypes before you go around declaring who does or doesn’t have an eating disorder

@thintechgodhead Whether she’s been formally diagnosed with ARFID or not, I have no idea. But I also know the very real dangers of over simplifying debilitating illnesses to a point where they become discredited (ie; ADHD, chronic pain, panic attacks, etc). That’s all I’m saying.

@thintechgodhead So im not trying to be rude. I have cared for several patients with ARFID. I also grew up with a sibling with ARFID. very familiar with it both academically, personally, and professionally. I’m not negating her anxiety. I’m saying it’s important to not trivialize the issue.

@thintechgodhead It’s not about personal experiences, it’s about clinical presentation. Texture is one of the primary triggers in ARFID, so even if cake is a safe food, the moment its texture changes bc it’s stale, the “safe” factor is gone. ARFID is real, but this isn’t it and that’s okay.

@blewis1103 Tried to take my own my life after a *horrendous* shift; my husband did CPR on me (that I had taught him how to do) & he saved my life. 6 years later, I can tell you who I am, & it doesn’t involve my profession bc I finally know there’s more to me than that. This scene is that.

Speaking as someone who said these words almost verbatim five years ago after my DKA, Noah Wyle’s performance hit bone-deep. He captures the fear of the ideation’s so clearly, beautifully, the point when you’re wavering and could go either way. It’s overwhelming. He’s sublime.

@caulffeine He’s to check in every morning via an app - the app tells him whether or not he’s been selected to be drug tested. He has until a certain time period to provide his urine sample. If he doesn’t do so by the specified time, it’s considered a “refusal” which is essentially positive.

They really nailed this. So many healthcare workers entire self worth is based off of their work. They don’t know who they are without their work. The job KILLS them but they stay because they feel without the work they are nothing.

Literally explained to my husband for the first time just a few nights ago what it was like to feel like…the only place you were helpful and capable was the one place that was killing you. This scene hit hard. So hard I’d recommend a disclaimer at the beginning tbh.

Robby saying “I don’t want to be anywhere anymore” hit so hard. I went through a similar dark time a few years back and it all came rushing back. Another great episode wow.
