If you do better 1:1, I now offer coaching as well! Maybe you already have a great therapist but could use support from someone who understands the challenges of managing a chronic illness. More details and info on scheduling flexible coaching sessions is available now on my website!

The last 6 months (and beyond) have been a lot. Join me on August 10 for this workshop on pacing when things feel chaotic and heavy. Anyone is welcome who wants to be more intentional about recognizing their needs and limits. Please feel free to share! form.jotform.com/251997556628...

Also save the date for July 9! I’ll be back for another episode and livestream to talk about the challenges of pacing non-physical exertions - both for people with chronic illnesses and burnout, but also with just trying to make life sustainable in these complicated times!

I had the pleasure of being on Dr. Serena Wadwa’s podcast where we talked about the tensions of the personal and professional as therapists, how chronic illness impacts these, and answered a listener’s question about a loved one with Long COVID. Give it a listen! www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0Je...

My latest article is about misogyny & misogynoir. Black women are three times more likely to die in pregnancy. Black babies have the highest infant mortality. The government looking to cut Medicaid, food assistance & other critical support is forcing Adriana Smith to be an incubator for a fetus.

Adriana Smith, Misogyny and the Cruelty of Forced Birth

Adriana Smith couldn't access competent medical care when she needed it, and it killed her. Now the hospital is forcing 'care' on her by keeping her alive as an incubator due to Georgia's abortion ban

It’s finally coming to light just how many people actually have Long COVID. If you’ve been spared so far, do whatever you can to avoid re/infections, because there are no approved treatments and much of the research we were counting on just got gutted. www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/stu...

Hi! Great minds! I started pulling together a Google Doc tentatively called “So you think you have Long Covid” and brainstormed a bunch of thoughts, but haven’t had the capacity to really add to, edit, and organize it the way I wanted to. If you might want to collaborate, let me know!

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

Here are 50 reasons someone might be masking in 2025. None of them have to do with anxiety or criminal behavior, and not all of them about COVID. Use them in your accommodations requests or when advocating to protect the right to wear masks/prevent mask bans. open.substack.com/pub/misfitme...

💯 Individualism has been hammered into us so much. I’m telling my clients worried that they “can’t do enough” right now that they are right. One person can’t. Same with therapists. None of us can fix all this alone, but it’s important that we do what we can when we can & keep building collectively

Are you an I ntersectional ally? Excellent! Then if you are able to wear a mask, please mask everywhere you believe medically vulnerable, disabled, chronically ill, and elderly folks have a right to be - even if you don’t see anyone who visibly appears to belong to these groups.

When Trump paused federal funding to all grants and loans, it plunged scientific research into chaos. Though the freeze was rescinded for some sectors, it's still in largely place for universities and research institutions. The damage will be lasting.

Clinical trials may have to be scrapped, research applications will be pushed back, and unpaid researchers will quickly leave the sector—even if the Trump administration’s funding pause is only…

So…everything happening is bad. It’s very bad. We know this. When are you planning on acting? Last I checked you and your elected peers hold paid jobs and are in positions to actually do something. Could you do more than post about rumors on social media? That’s our job.

The next four years (and whatever comes after it) will undoubtedly be terrible in many ways for many of us. Remember your anger is a tool; let it sharpen you and spurn you to action. Try to resist the allure of hopelessness and helplessness, it’s what those in power are counting on.

I used to work for an elected official as the person who answered their emails. I can tell you from personal experience, if even twenty or thirty people all call an official in a day, they start panicking. This stuff does help.

For real. We gotta get better about grief because the only way through is accepting reality. We were given a bill of goods for a society and world that isn’t real and isn’t going to happen. Instead we have to grieve that and get to building something even better. No one else is coming.

*Yes, people are capable of change, and anyone CAN change. But there’s a whole lot of folks running around giving unearned benefit of the doubt and projecting what they want to be true instead of looking at these people’s track records and *seeing* who they are.

Misfit Mental Health @misfitmh.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

Maybe I should know better, but I’m surprised at the number of folks who haven’t learned that you need to take someone’s actions into account just as much, if not more, than what they say. Some people will say anything to gain authority and power. Past behavior usually predicts future behavior.*

READ THE ROOM. Do you honestly think right now this is the focus for anyone…oh, except the bros who just lost a trillion dollars. Got it. Just needed to do the math on who is determining your priorities, because it sure isn’t your constituents or the people counting on you to represent them.
