[elly-mental]

I'm gonna need some of y'all to understand that you do not get to decide that your (or your kid's) communicable illness is "no big deal" and just not warn people about it before socializing with them. Especially when they've explicitly asked you to do so.

You do not necessarily know what someone is dealing with. They may have an immune or respiratory condition. They may live with or care for someone with a compromised immune system. They may have an important event coming up. They may just not feel like having the flu this week and that's their right. You do not get to make that choice for them and it's beyond disrespectful to expose others because you don't feel like rescheduling or being inconvenienced.

So tired of showing up places and having someone cheerily announce "Oh don't worry about my cough; I'm just getting over a cold!" or "Don't feel bad if Junior isn't in a great mood; he had gastro a few days ago!" It's just selfish, inconsiderate, and rude.

Her practice specializes in the intersection of physical and emotional health. She works with people who have serious or chronic health issues.

Additionally she blogs . This week, our chat will focus on one of her recent posts, Privilege and Stigma in Health, Revisited .

Healthy person privilege:   Parking in the lines next to the handicap spot meant for wheel chair unloading  and forcing the van needing the extra space to park somewhere else.

There's some confusion that my house is a free for all with 100% tolerance of whatever. Like not so much, I'm chipping gum off my dresser from whoever thought it would be cool to leave it there and trying to clean my carpet because someone thought it was okay to pull my chair over a spilled drink. But only after that chair was flipped of course I mean it's Andrew's house so this is okay. All instead of a month's worth of homework I absolutely have to do tonight or else this term is probably bombed and getting 3 nights to do it is apparently fair compared to the month literally everyone else had.
