The Salty Side of the Couch

BPD/ADHD POTS/EDS

[flowercrowncrip]

Growing up I was always expected to be the good disabled person and say things like “I wouldn’t wish my disability on my worst enemy”

Now I’m a grown up cripple there’s a long list of people I’d give a taste of my life to, including:

Bad carers

Asshole doctors and nurses

Benefits assessors

Policy makers who influence disability benefits

People who think accessibility isn’t worth it

People who think reasonable adjustments are “cheating”

Anyone involved in cutting funding for health and social care

People who think we should be grateful for crumbs

People who think visibly disabled people have it easier

People who stigmatise medications and/or mobility aids

Everyone who’s made fun of my movement, speech or other aspects of my disability

But also I’d like to gift the fullness of my life to:

People who think disabled people can’t experience joy

People who think disabled people are “a drain on society”

Every single person who’s told me I’m better off dead/ they’d kill themselves if they were me

As an adult still living with their abusive parent, I often find that affirmations meant to empower me are unhelpful at best. They often feel like they're overstating the amount of agency I have as an adult; I've spent my entire life being abused. It's all I know and I have a lifetime of conditioning and nervous system damage to show for it.

All that doesn't just go away now that I'm older than 18, and neither do the material circumstances that keep me here. Even though I have more legal rights and have grown since I was younger, I am still not in control by the very nature of being the victim in an abusive relationship. So, for those who relate, here are some affirmations that might hit different:

My abuser does not have my best interests in mind, even if they think they do.

I am my own person; my mind and body belong to me.

My feelings are justified, and I deserve to feel and express them.

I am doing what I need to survive, and that is all I need to do.

I am doing my best given the knowledge, resources, and support I have.

I am the only person who can decide what is best for me.

My situation is unfair and wrong. I deserve to be happy and safe.

I do not have to engage in toxic positivity; that will only hurt me.

As long as I am alive, there is something good in this life for me - no matter how small.

I have inherent rights just because I exist.

I shouldn't have to deal with this on my own; I deserve support and protection.

Everything I need is something I deserve. Everything I deserve is something I need.

If any of these don't resonate, feel free to discard them. Everyone finds comfort and empowerment differently.

The Trouble with Pain Treatment Guidelines — Pain News Network

By Donna Gregory Burch I'm trying to figure out why certain medical organizations think they know more about treating my chronic pain than

I'm trying to figure out why certain medical organizations think they know more about treating my chronic pain than my actual doctors. It seems every single one of these groups shares the same opinion: Opioids are bad. Antidepressants, exercise and meditation are good.

That's the takeaway from new treatment guidelines for fibromyalgia and other forms of “chronic primary pain” released by the European Pain Federation and the UK’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). Both sets of recommendations are on trend with the opioid prescribing guideline adopted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2016.

The European Pain Federation recommends against using opioids to treat fibromyalgia, low back pain, irritable bowel syndrome and other forms of chronic primary pain for which there is no known cause. Opioids can be used for certain types of “secondary” pain caused by surgery, trauma, disease or nerve damage, according to the federation, but only when other treatments such as exercise, meditation and non-opioid medications have failed.

The NICE guidelines are even stricter, advising physicians not to prescribe any kind of painkiller to those with fibromyalgia, chronic headache, chronic musculoskeletal pain and other chronic primary conditions. That includes non-opioid painkillers like paracetamol (acetaminophen), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), gabapentinoids (gabapentin, pregabalin), corticosteroids (prednisone, prednisolone) and benzodiazepines (Valium, Xanax).

As someone who lives with fibromyalgia, chronic lower back pain and chronic daily headaches, I thank God that I don't live across the pond, as they say. Frankly, I'd probably throw myself off a bridge if my doctors adhered to either of these guidelines.

And no, I'm not being overdramatic. I'm sure I speak for many of the readers here at Pain News Network and my own website, Fed Up With Fatigue, when I express alarm over how authoritarian and inhumane these guidelines aimed at chronic pain patients are becoming.

Of course, things aren't much better on U.S. soil. Physicians here are still running scared due to the CDC's opioid guideline. It's becoming increasingly difficult to find doctors who will prescribe opioids or even accept a patient who is already on opioids. It matters little if the patient has been using them responsibly for years or even decades. (Read more at link)

Hot take but you can’t learn about paganism without also learning about white supremacy and how it uses pagan religions to push hate group agendas all over the world today. If you don’t learn about the connections between the two and how it operates, your ignorance enables white supremacists to keep on doing it and using it to recruit others. People in our community who do nothing and stay silent are literally a part of the problem, there is no opting out whatsoever. Divorcing the two makes the issue repeat itself over and over and over again.

It’s not hard to include this in your research and stay aware. It’s the bare minimum.

[kayas-wife]

Zero is a number.

A definition of an even number is that it can be divided by 2 and the result is a whole number. Since you cannot divide zero, you cant divide it by 2 and that means that zero is an odd number.

zEro, onE, thrEE, fivE, sEvEn, ninE, ElEven, and then the suffix -teen and every other odd number in english contains the names of the numbers 1 to 9.

[endertrender]

zero is not a goddamn odd number what. even i know that and i’m not good at math. also you can divide 0 by 2, it’s 0, you literally just divide it  and you just get 0 out oh my gosh. you can’t divide by zero but you can divide zero.

Fighting Covid When Kept Home

This was shared on a Covid survivor group…have heard many of these before but it seems helpful: HOW TO FIGHT COVID AT HOME when you are not hospitalized.

“When the nurse came in to discharge me, I asked her, What can I do to help fight this at home? She said:

1. Sleep on your stomach at all times with Covid. If you can’t sleep on your stomach because of heath issues sleep on your side. Do not lie on your back no matter what because it smashes your lungs and that will allow fluid to set in.

2. Set your clock every two hours while sleeping on your stomach, then get out of bed and walk for 15-30 min, no matter how tired or weak that you are. Also move your arms around frequently, it helps to open your lungs. Breathe in thru your nose, and out thru your mouth. This will help build up your lungs, plus help get rid of the Pneumonia or other fluid you may have.

2. When sitting in a recliner, sit up straight - do not lie back in the recliner, again this will smash your lungs. 

3. While watching TV - get up and walk during every commercial.

4. Eat at least 1 - 2 eggs a day, plus bananas, avocado and asparagus. These are good for Potassium. 

5. Do not drink anything cold -  have it at room temperature or warm it up. Drink Pedialyte, Gatorade Zero, Powerade Zero & Water with Electrolytes to prevent you from becoming dehydrated. Water with lemon, and little honey, peppermint tea, apple cider are good suggestions for getting in fluids. No milk products, or pork. (as a singer I know milk products produce phlegm and always advised my students to have none for 3 days before a performance)

6. Vitamins D3, C, B, Zinc, Probiotic One-Day are good ideas. Tylenol for fever. Mucinex, or Mucinex DM for drainage, plus helps the cough. Pepcid helps for cramps in your legs. One baby aspirin everyday can help prevent getting a blood clot, which can occur from low activity. 

7. Drink a smoothie of blueberries, strawberries, bananas, honey, tea and a spoon or two of peanut butter. 

We always hear of how Covid takes lives, but there isn’t a lot of information out there regarding how to fight Covid when you are not critical. I hope this helps you or someone you know, just as it has helped me.”

(Wow, @thetimetostrikeislater  wish you’d had this info when you were ill)

@cptdorkery  @fortheloveoftrekuniverse  @peridotsarelongterm

[thetimetostrikeislater]

I definitely wish I had this info when I contracted Covid back in March😓 it was so hard on my lungs! and I couldn’t go to the hospital because it was too full. Stay safe my friends.

[rosslynpaladin]

This is all a lot like what I had to do for bad respiratory issues/pneumonia, just to add an “it’s probably sound advice”.

Also don’t be breathing in any outdoor/cold air. your lungs do not need even a single inhale of anything cold. nope.

[bonnieshero]

So found out 2 weeks ago i have chiari malformation and the symptoms are rapidly worsening, after 10+ years of sufferingand 3 years of not being able to work.(also the cause of migraine, fibro, POTS, and lack of progress in therapy with mental health issues)

Also told my pcp that my kidneys aren't working over 2 months ago. Had an ultrasound say my right kidney was water logged, but not actively at the moment of ultrasound.

They never sent a referral to the urologist so it's been 3 months of kidney pain and basically no output of urine.

Still have medical debt ruining my credit and life.

Gotta love America.

People on this website will reblog positivity posts about Indigenous peoples and our religions and supporting our spirituality

until they find out that some of us practiced cannibalism and human sacrifice and then suddenly no one can read and everyone has places to be

[xicamatl-deactivated20201127]

I’m speaking from the perspective of an indigenous Nahua who was born and raised in southern México. I’m very familiar with the cannibalism and sacrifice practiced by my people, and know that countless other Indigenous peoples have practiced both

Colonizers boil down the incredible achievements and scientific discoveries of Mesoamerica into ~human sacrifice~ and then have the gall to lecture me about the morality of human sacrifice???

Dismissing an entire civilizations achievements because their religion included sacrifice is absolutely peak colonial mindset. You are projecting your modern western colonial morality on something you cannot, possibly comprehend and think you are being helpful and respectful and you are not

I could write a book on my ancestor’s culture of sacrifice. Please understand that the way you likely learned it in school was racist and colonialist and taught from the perspective of white people. Please understand that trying to argue about it with indigenous people or using it as a gotcha to “prove that we’re bad actually” is incredibly disrespectful and ignorant.

And while we don’t practice human sacrifice or cannibalism anymore, the history of it is incredibly sacred and important to us. I will absolutely defend my ancestor’s practice of cannibalism to the death from non native people

instead of being racist about it, maybe you can try picking up a history book written by an Indigenous person for once in your life

If you can’t respect the ~scary~ indigenous cultures, then you have 0 respect for Indigenous peoples at all

[mystery-ink]

also, big take here — but ancient European cultures also practiced sacrifice (to varying extents and historical sources are scarce but yeah. somewhere these colonisers’ ancestors are laughing)

[frustratedasatruar]

I mean, even forget that kind of stuff- like yes, my forbears for example had a habit of hanging people from trees as tribute to Tyr and The Gallows God, and the fabled Blood Eagle was done in tribute to the Allfather, but even if you forget all of that stuff, europe’s history of Human Sacrifice gets super recent.

Like, by what definition of Human Sacrifice does drowning a woman in a lake for being a witch because Jesus said to, not qualify as an act of Human Sacrifice for The White Christ? What about torturing people to death when they won’t convert, and/or torturing them until they do convert and then killing them to stop them from going back? How’s that not Human Sacrifice? What about when crusaders would roll up into a Jewish village and murder every man, woman, and child they could lay hands on, all to appease their deity? Why wouldn’t that count?

Those are rhetorical questions obviously: the answer to “which definition allows for this” is “the one where it doesn’t count when white christians do it,” of course.

[satorugojjo]

The inherent fucking racism/xenophobia in the “Save Christmas” rhetoric????? They imposed lockdowns twice right before Eid, countless Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist and more holidays went by in lockdown and now that its Christmas it’s somehow more important? People out there telling all of us that our holidays and religions don’t matter and we have to step up for society (which we did btw) are now going “oh no not Christmas whatever will we do??” Now that it’s YOUR holiday you finally pay attention? Fuck off. We could have been careful and ended this months ago but y’all decided to play around until it came to Christmas. The government deciding to not give a shit about Eid but decide to “protect Christmas” tells you everything you need to know.

On Rosh Hashannah it is an OBLIGATION, not a tradition, but an OBLIGATION to pray in groups of ten or more. Any other year, we must pray in person because the use of electricity is not permitted on our holy days.

I had my Rosh Hashannah alone, in my basement, through streaming. It was the first and only time my cat has gone to synagogue with me.

Christians can fucking deal like everybody else

The inherent fucking racism/xenophobia in the “Save Christmas” rhetoric????? They imposed lockdowns twice right before Eid, countless Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist and more holidays went by in lockdown and now that its Christmas it’s somehow more important? People out there telling all of us that our holidays and religions don’t matter and we have to step up for society (which we did btw) are now going “oh no not Christmas whatever will we do??” Now that it’s YOUR holiday you finally pay attention? Fuck off. We could have been careful and ended this months ago but y’all decided to play around until it came to Christmas. The government deciding to not give a shit about Eid but decide to “protect Christmas” tells you everything you need to know.

What drives me insane is when people who come at you sideways and they try to tell you to watch your tone.

Don’t provoke me and then try to police my reaction.

They always love to tell you to “calm down” too when you calmly mention they crossed a line. It’s ridiculous.

the assumption that CSAM/CSEM (child sexual abuse/exploitation material, also known as child pornography) can only be found on "dark" or "deep" web sites and not surface sites is a dangerous and false assumption. this content is on this website, on facebook, twitter, reddit, its in more places than most people assume.

survivors know this very well, but in case anyone doesn't believe us, check out these (abbreviated) numbers by the NCMEC regarding ESP reports of CSAM-- only a fraction of the total reports, keep in mind, and by only one organization. knowing the scope of the problem can better prepare people to fight the spread of this content if they come across it. this particular brand of ignorance regarding just how proliferate CSAM is on surface sites is one of my pet peeves on this subject, so i feel justified w the long post.

and as always... if you see this content, REPORT IT.
