Hey, ich bin neu hier.🤗

Ich schreibe über mentale Gesundheit, weil sie mich selbst, meinen Alltag und meinen Job betrifft. Vielleicht auch mal über meine #Katzen.

Ich habe jetzt lange darüber gegrübelt, ob ich wirklich auf absenden klicken soll.

Dementsprechend bin ich etwas nervös. 😵

Ich freu mich auf Austausch.🤗

Unfortunately, for a week now, I have been suffering from inflammation of the kidneys and digestive system due to drinking contaminated water and eating canned food, a result of the Israeli blockade on Gaza and the prevention of the entry of clean water and basic food supplies. #freegazanow | #StandWithGaza | #GazaUnderAttack | #SavePalestine | #EndTheOccupation

The obsession with 'overdiagnosis' is a much bigger problem than overdiagnosis itself

https://open.substack.com/pub/theneuroscienceofeverydaylife/p/the-obsession-with-overdiagnosis?r=24oxwv&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

The discourse around the 'problem' of 'overdiagnosis' doesn't hold up at all when you consider the actual evidence. Pushing it anyway risks harming so many

As long as they don't want any *actual* state support. Especially if they're under 22 - then they can get in the fucking army.

GPLB: "Security minister Dan Jarvis said: 'The impact of a terrorist attack is long-lasting and evolving. Victims and survivors of terrorism need the highest levels of support to recover and rebuild their lives.'"

Let's just do the equivalent of standing on our doorsteps and clapping.

Evening, Twters.

Genuinely having a tough time of it. House hunting is not going well, though we've 3 more viewings lined up for tomorrow.

The news about #pip is terrifying - PIP makes up about 33% of my income so losing it will be devastating, and there's not a lot I can do about it as my condition fluctuates. I'm having a really tough day during a really tough time, and I'm about ready to crawl into bed and not emerge again til it's all better.

Really feeling this again today, particularly the line about Wes Streeting being "someone who looks like Starmer's son he made out of margarine".
It's difficult to comprehend how mental health conditions can be "overdiagnosed" when it's a matter of considerable record that it's almost impossible to get a mental health assessment in the first place. Facts don't matter I suppose.

I'm often at a loss for words for things happening inside my body. Physical things, emotional things. I wish I could express them to you but I've not figured out how. I feel hope and despair at once. I feel alienated and overwhelming compassion for people. The words I use juxtapose them but inside me they are one. What should I call these things?
(We can talk about physical stuff another time.)

I just migrated here from SecondUniverse@neurodifferent.me, so as a quick introduction... I am a trans woman. I transitioned back in the nineties before the world declared war on us. I was diagnosed with autism in my fifties, and more recently I have self diagnosed myself as having CPTSD. I post about astronomy, game development, trans issues, mental health, autism, and writing. #trans #actuallyAutistic #writing #mentalHealth #gameDev

I think the thing im struggling with the most right now, out of lots of things, is the realization that all of this *gestures broadly at the world* is going to take a long time. These are deep seated cultural problems (this is not to say that rapid solutions arent possible, but thats another convo). Im really battling impatience, especially because impatience is so often unhelpful to long term thinking (impatience > frustration > burnout).

Ive been repeating this mantra for myself for about 10 years now: "today can be a good day and im exactly where im supposed to be. Everyday i get a little better; one day at a time". This has been extremely helpful in all the progress ive made, especially given how insurmountable things can seem and how achingly slow progress can look when we view it on a day to day basis. I think im going to start saying it for the world, too.

I am BEYOND done with assholes saying they dont talk politics because they dont want to lose friends over it.

I dont lose friends over politics. I lose friends over MORALS.

If you both know and are okay with what trump is doing, YOU ARE A TERRIBLE PERSON. This is not up for debate.

Not even remotely sorry, fuck off.

This story of an autistic women locked up since she was a child is a lesson in what happens when there is no-one to advocate for you with the mental health services.... given her final release (which in itself took nearly a decade of hard work), one can only conclude this was unlawful imprisonment!

If this was a single case this would be an outrage & a tragedy, but Mencap believe there are hundreds more people in a similar situation.

This is inhumane!

GP visits to become free for most under $8.5b 'legacy defining' Labor Medicare promise
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-22/labor-medicare-promise-to-make-gp-visits-free-for-most/104969694

Anthony Albanese says he'll make 90% of GP visits free from out-of-pocket expenses by 2030. This is a bargain for the government with a price-tag of only $8.5 billion. It's also a strong, traditional Labor policy for social services.

I'd like to think this is a sign that Albo is getting back to his roots, and announcing policies that will get the approval of the Greens and other left-leaning parties. It's also laying the groundwork for another "Mediscare" campaign in anticipation of Peter Dutton's toxic bullshit.

Boosting funding for bulk-billing will have massive flow-on effects for the general wellbeing of Australians: quality of life, ability to function in school and at work, and therefore a long-term payback for the economy. Anyone arguing against this policy has a deep-seated ideological hatred for "poor people" and knows nothing about the economy — I'm looking at you, Peter Dutton.

Details I'd like to hear more about:
- Mental health care funding got a boost, so it's good to see the government taking this neglected area more seriously.
- Dental health care was not mentioned, and it absolutely needs to be covered by Medicare. Teeth are a vital part of your body that require life-long care and shouldn't be at the mercy of private health insurance.
- GPs got screwed by Scott Morrison when he made a bunch of massive cuts to Medicare. The government will need to coordinate with GPs to make sure they get fair compensation for their work.
- Peter Dutton having a sook, and rolling-out that tired old lie about Labor being wasteful with money.

Would the whole world seem less doomed if I was less depressed? Maybe, but the whole world seems doomed right now, so the depression isn’t going to go away by itself so I can find out.

RFK Jr. Is Already Taking Aim at Antidepressants
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/02/kennedy-rfk-antidepressants-ssri-school-shootings/

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr has been planted by Trump in the role of Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services.

He wants to slash scientifically-established medication, hospital treatment, financial benefits, and government programs for people with these conditions:
- Chronic illness.
- Autism.
- ADHD, and medication including Adderall and Ritalin.
- Asthma.
- Obesity.
- Multiple sclerosis.
- Psoriasis.
- Mental illness such as depression and anxiety, and SSRI medication including Prozac and Zoloft.

RFK Jr says wants people who live with chronic illness such as those listed above — who often require daily preventative medication, a professional carer/assistant, or an assistive device for their daily functioning and to maintain their quality of life and sense of dignity and autonomy — to be stripped of their treatment and put into in "Wellness Farms" for "three or four years if they need it".

This is the sort of inhumane mistreatment of people requiring medical care that happened in the USSR and still goes on today in North Korea. It should not happen in the USA.

This move by RFK Jr is going to destroy childhoods, ruin families, cause people financial ruin, and for some people it will cost them their life.

While Eva Wiseman's argument might also include men with mental health disorders who find themselves in prison, her central point about the prison system not being a suitable substitute for proper care for the mentally ill is absolutely right;

we have (like so many other aspects of our society) seemed to have returned to the C19th callousness & brutality while claiming there's no alternative.

There's alway an alternative, we just refuse it!

Eine britische Studie zeigt: Menschen fühlen sich in den Morgenstunden am glücklichsten, während das Wohlbefinden zu später Stunde deutlich abnimmt und Depressionen zunehmen. 🌅

Im Winter leiden die Menschen häufiger unter Einsamkeit und depressiven Symptomen als in anderen Jahreszeiten, der Wochentag spielt dabei eine untergeordnete Rolle. 🌡️

Aside from the social & personal costs of childhood mental health (and its impact on later wellbeing & social integration), the lack of funding for tackling childhood mental health also has significant economic consequences.

If bean-counter politicians will not consider funding better services for helping alleviate the mental anguish of children for moral, ethical or social reasons, perhaps the economic argument might sway them?

Or maybe not.
