A3. First I want to say something in general about sharing traumatic experiences of racism in medical situations. #medtraumachat
A3. I started sharing because other people told me about their trauma.
It made me feel like I could be brave, that maybe if enough of us talked about these that were supposed to be taboo, maybe we could make it more bearable. Or even change things. #medtraumachat
A3. BUT. It was harder the first time because despite what my rising Leo makes it seem? I don't always like to draw attention to myself.
This kind of attention I learned? Is good trouble. You never know who you might help, sometimes in a HUGE way. #medtraumachat
A3. Self care is paramount. If you feel like you can share, if you feel safe letting us in a bit, we really want to hear what it's like for you. #medtraumachat

Damn if coffee doesn’t help me more than hurt. #myspoons
I wonder if getting out of the habit of drinking coffee was a daft choice as a #spoonie with multiple fatigue conditions.
Once my body let me get out of bed today, I figured, let me get coffee while I'm up. And wow.
It didn't fix everything (I’m definitely depressed and need a therapist) but damned if I'm not actually getting things done for the first time in 3 weeks.
