I’ve had stage 4 cancer since 2011 with 12 years of chemo. Treatment resistant depression is worse in my experience. (I got lucky with the cancer survival)

Omg 💯 I relate. Meds work for mania but I’m on a shitload for depression & still struggling. Plus ketamine therapy. Mindfulness, CBT, dbt, ifs, exercise…..every thing with huge effort. Lose days lying in bed being miserable. Makes me think id like to be a little hypomanic for awhile…..

I hope the results are good! ❤️It’s alway a little anxiety provoking for me.

The anti-psych vibe is awful right now & it’s getting me down & fearful. I need a check in with my psych to reassure me.

Some is coming from experienced $ respected therapists (personality stuff). I typically mute all the anti-psych crap it’s just too common with RFK spouting nonsense all over now. Thank you for your kind words. It’s a particularly tough day after overextending myself last week.

Reading that treatment resistant depression might indicate personality disorders. Reading that bipolar depression isn’t real & it’s due to faulty thoughts & behaviours. Reading that we shouldn’t be on meds. Basically feeling like an absolute failure today.😢

It was toxic in most of the groups I was in. I withdrew ages ago & life became less stressful.

14 years here. Quit all treatment 2 years ago & still doing well.

Is there medical access or a compassion club. I started with compassion club. The facility wasn’t legal but no one tried to shut it down.

Thank you for clarifying. I hope you have found some relief & get support from your medical team.

NEW #MedSky #PsychSky #NeuroSky A two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis finds no causal relationship between #depression & myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (#MECFS). Important: people w ME/CFS are NOT “just depressed.” #MedEd #LongCovid www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Because I thought I was using the wrong/outdated word. Is it?

In 1990 I was student OT at arthritis clinic & taught relaxation, pacing & energy conservation for people with “fibromyalgia” and CFS. We don’t seem to have come any further….

That’s why there’s at least a week of celebrations- so we can have both turkey & dressing AND a wonderful spiral ham.

Reminder that if you ever need a meal and can't afford it, find your local gurudwara, they will feed you a great hot meal for free, you won't even have to fetch a plate for yourself and they'll also give you a place to crash if you don't have one and there's room. gurudwara is open to all always

Drug approvals issue by province in Canada. (Based on globe & mail - details fuzzy) While Ontario & Alberta approved 15ish drugs & refused 2 BC only approved 2 of them. In Ontario oral chemo isn’t covered.

New position statement on pain in the older person just dropped via ANZSGM. I particularly liked point 3. "3. The gold standard for pain assessment is self-report. A person reporting pain should be believed, even in the absence of demonstrable pathology likely to explain the pain." 🙌

May your day go smoothly. Good specialist. Tolerable chemo. Time to relax as the holidays approach.

My internal monologue started screaming at me - that’s when I took myself to ER.

Don’t even……I spent many hours at ER getting rehydrated. #cansky

We DO NOT throw perfectly good food away in this house. We put leftovers in a Tupperware & let it go bad, THEN throw it out!

He was there for me when I really needed it. I feel it’s time to let go a little. He is just giddy with my results as well. I’ll miss him but I know where to find him!
