Roll Call 169!!

I see...that can be hard to dive back into the past like that, but it might also help you resolve some things. I really think that the T’s often think they know more than us and that they’re somehow immune to the experience of MI, even though it can happen to anyone. My T at least took the perspective of not being an expert. Of course as we know MI can happen to anyone so they are not immune. Pdocs have always been less emotional with me but they still have strange rules, not the least of which is not recognizing that every one is different due in part to genetics. The fact that thy think they can classify based on symptoms is itself a bit off. Covid and the flu would be the same under their style of classification so we’d never have a cure.

Pioneer woman is making honeydew spritzers...looks so good

I love honeydew everything! Even soap!

It’s good when it’s actually ripe but a lot of times around here it’s just hard and tasteless......but I’m guessing it’s in season right about now.

Yay! I get to pick out my groceries today from Imperfect Foods! They already put a crap load in my cart to start with and it’s only 30 dollars with my discount!!!

That’s so cool and for me it made sure I was cooking healthy every week.

That’s what I’m hoping for!

Just wrote this on my fb:

People tell me I should go into psychology in college, or something similar. All the time.
Let me tell you why, out of all the majors I’ve been through why I haven’t, and why I WON’T ever.

My intention isn’t to build a career directly in the mental health field. There’s nothing for me there. I don’t want to build a career directly into a field that I will, I feel like, steer me into a direction that is laden with old systemic theories and functions. This is mostly coming from a consumer point-of-view, because I have been in the mental health system for two decades and counting. The channels that someone has to go through to get where they should be in recovery is usually watered down with old systemic functions. Which makes things a lot harder and a lot longer for the person to get where they need to be in recovery. Of course, you can do other things with a psychology degree, but the inherent amount of the field of reach and leverage you will be able to do is relatively small, because of the functions that have been in place for decades. The availability of resources that are both demographically available and recovery-oriented are small. The TRUE recovery-oriented resources. Which is a whole other conversation.

My end goal is to reach those not only that are just entering the system for help, or have been there for awhile with no avail in succinct help, but to reach those that are young, old, in-between, minorities, lgbtq+, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, muslim, etc EVERYBODY that ISN’T getting the resources that they need to reach and get their demographic, economic, social, etc need met, and quickly. And I’m choosing to do that in a way that is unconventional.

Going to Denny's tonight. It's another rainy day, love it! Ready for next week so I can order my animal crossing game and crocheting kit.

You go, newtus. I totally support you in this. I believe psychology has created some tools and schools that have been helpful to many, but, I alsoe believe its reliance on this ridculous, 1600s-era concept of "the mind" and "the psyche" has dramatically slowed progress for patients with these illnesses. I know it is an unpopular belief I have, but until we all recognize that bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are diseases of the human brain and that the human brain is an actual organ of the human body with specific electorchemical and endocrine functions and processes that can be slowly understood through real, sicientific research, we will continue practicing like Steve Martin in an SNL sketch about medieval doctors using gnomes and toads to cure us all.
