Why Are Med Students So Depressed?

My birthday had a pretty sky! Even though I had a really bad birthday, at least now I know there was beauty somewhere that day.

the most beautiful sky I ever did see 17.01.16

i don’t know how to explain what it feels like to run and look behind and see nobody coming after you.

Sexual Assault Survivors’ Bill of Rights Became Federal Law 10/7/2016 https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/5578/text 1. The rights of a survivor should never be contingent on reporting or pursuing legal action. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to dealing with trauma and these fundamental rights must be protected for every survivor.  2. Every survivor has a right to a sexual assault counselor; waiving the right to a counselor in one instance does not negate this right. 3. Fair and efficient rape kit procedures are a must. It is unacceptable that a kit might be misplaced or destroyed; to prevent this and delays, a tracking system must be developed. 4. There must be standard procedures for ensuring that survivors are informed of their rights.  5. In assessing the effectiveness of this policy and future policies, diverse voices and communities must be included in the conversation. The bill establishes a task force that includes representatives from communities of color, immigrant communities, organizations that conduct outreach/education/advocacy for BGLQT individuals, survivor advocates, law enforcement, and a SANE nurse. Thank you Amanda Nguyen, for spearheading this, and all who helped.

Fucking PSA

Unfriendly reminder that having an anxiety disorder isn’t cute or quirky

Unfriendly reminder that chronic and severe depressive disorders aren’t something to be glorified or glamorized

Unfriendly reminder that eating disorders are legitimate problems for millions of people and have taken so many lives, and it’s not some cute fucking fad

Unfriendly reminder that it isn’t okay to romanticize depression, anxiety and eating disorders but still continue to stigmatize and stereotype Schizophrenia, Bipolar, Borderline Personality Disorder, etc

Unfriendly fucking reminder that mental illnesses aren’t for your aesthetics or to be thought of as some cutesy quirk or quality, they’re legitimate problems that people struggle with every single day and are to be taken much more seriously than they are

Last day for early voting!
