Hey babes, sorry I've been dead, but I coulda been literally dead if I had not gone.

I didn't hurt myself and we're still figuring things out. I would love to share but I've already forgotten what I've learned. I hope I get more guidance and time for healing and learning on how to lead my life in a better direction than where I was. But that takes time and effort.

I hope to get some rest, get some support, and get it together. But right now, I don't think it's healthy for me to worry about art in the way I do now. I may not express it here, but trying to maintain my art endeavors/projects while there's so much bullshit going on backstage is not helping me. Especially since I'm not even obligated to do so. But trying to force myself to do something I am currently unable to do will just make me feel worse. I'll follow my dreams and passions one day, but I've been putting off the healing process for years.

So I guess it's better to get better now so I can get the ball rolling again. Why drive on a flat tire?

#i was in there for a week and ill continue partial hospitalization for a few weeks #i hope i learn more and i hope i get specific help to my issues. because whay i learned there didnt directly pertain to me #but having structured daily life felt nice. but it wasnt all relaxing because there were still responisibilites on the outside world #tapping on the window or calling me on the phone. chose the best time for a meltdown. i have taxes and credit card bills to take care of #but if i stress about it now ill jsut be going back to the ER and thats no good. the hospital was so cold dude im glad im home with blankets #this is mr octopus again. im glad i broguh hom to work. i went straight to er from work and if i had no plushie with me #i probably would have stayed longer or be even more mentally unstable and distressed. its good to have comfort items #i dont think i want to know ehat if be like without some kind of companion or grounding item with me. i dont want to imagine me without em #its okay to have a little friend with you. i would be so distraught. everyone loved me there #the nurses the patients the residents yhe social workers the students #mr. octopus made them happy because of his big smile and mine too. the people there did not expect the mass amoutns of stress and depression #in this bubbly happy baby witb a happy pink octopus. one of the patients thought it was the meds the happy pills they gave me #no im jsut naturally like this. or artificially like this. i still dont know how to express or understand my feelings #if what im showing is real or not because i know ill be the happiest in the room wherever i go. maybe its a front or a mask #but when im like that kinda hard to know whats really underneath. they always ask me if im okay but i turn to myself #and its nondescript like ive put a blanket over how i really feel. its weird. the bubbly energy is blinding. #words #mr octopus #mental health #doodles

I'm sorry, I just... had to give y'all a glimpse of what it's actually like

*in medical dramas*

Doctor who never seems to leave patient's general vicinity: His blood pressure's dropping, he's crashing!! *intense music and people rushing around and alarms blaring with fancy disco lights flashing*

*in real life*

Me, minding my own business, hearing an alarm beep to indicate hypotension: *grumbling as I get up for the fifth time to go back into the room and adjust blood pressure IV medication* Gosh darn it Steve stop misbehaving, this is just downright rude.

#random rambles #frickin Steve #always be dropping his BP #the amount of times I've just glared at a monitor to bully their blood pressure back to normal as I wait for the meds to kick in lol #don't get me wrong we have moments where we're a bit more worked up too but like... #not like shows LOL #there was this one time where a nursing student flushed an arterial line while the patient's MAP was 45 and I had doubled the pressors #and I gave a very terse NOT NOW because it made the blood pressure reading disappear #so like... we get serious but... you try not to freak out because it doesn't do you any good #I am so sorry I'll shut up now I promise #this is what happens when someone shows me a medical drama #I am unleashed

[simptasia]

i'm thinking maybe you shouldn't become a nurse if you don't like other people

#i know the pay is very good but gosh. doctors and nurses should care about other human beings #also i think medical school accidently teaches their students #that not being able to handle life in some way is a Skill Issue #also also i swear doctors and nurses are amongst the most ableist people you'll meet #and the most anti-drug addicts #its all so fucked

One of my patients was so committed to not talking to me that I was actually halfway convinced they had a stroke and had the ED attending come check on them. They were only sometimes following commands and wouldn’t say a word. Scared the shit out of me. They did turn out to be alert and oriented, just really tired and hoping I would leave.

#don’t worry we did a thorough work up #I was so freaked out #then briefly relieved when they responded immediately to a good sternal rub #then freaked out again that I had missed something #but they really are fine #it just scared the bejeezus out of me #anyway if you really wanna sleep but a doctor or nurse or student is bugging you #just at least say go away #but please don’t stay quiet when I say ‘I’m worried about you. I need you to talk if you’re able’ #scary scary #med student #med school #medicine #medblr #my content #my text posts

[the-cookie-of-doom]

So I haven't really written any fics since I started dating my ex, and now that we're broken up + school is over, and I'm recently obsessed with KP/KimChay, I'm about to go feral with pent-up writing urges

#cookie speaks #do i even REMEMBER how to write? #no #im functionally illiterate at this point #HOWEVER #I'm a nursing student and I work in a trauma ICU #and that means i have REALLY GOOD IDEAS how how to torture this lovely bbys #so I'm gonna take an hour to write all of the things #and worry about editing later #just gonna Make Words #yknow #for therapy

#studyblr #student #nursing student #online school #yea everything is online so i even have to do nursing simulations haha #i'm glad that i have my time as a cna for patient care experience #these past two weeks have been a lot of figuring out a good schedule and all of the moving parts to these classes #elsevier has actually gotten easier to use haha #also i became an ipad girlie #but i actually really do like it so far #as you can see from my little doodles now #hopefully i'll update more! #also don't look at the different sizes of the pictures haha #and i made a fruit tea! i was pretty proud of it #from abby

I have a pharmacology exam on Wednesday and I would love nothing more than to slip into the abyss (cool weather and cozy blankets, candles and soft rain) and still get an A on the exam tbh

#but no!!! #I just HAD to be an academic weapon #and had to choose an rigorous and challenging major #-> me when my challenging major is challenging me: :(( #moral of the story is that there are so many drugs to help you start pooping or stop pooping. so many to choose from & so many to know #there are even MORE drugs to help you not be sad. SO MANY. #also! if you're at risk for thromboembolisms #good news for you buddy #there are also SEVERAL DRUGS TO CHOOSE FROM #(several drugs that nursing students have to learn) #sometimes I wanna talk to the dean and be like “have you considered this: I'm just a girl. I'm literally just a girl” #shut up lauren

Getting compliments from senior nurses is another level of amazing

#nursing student #'you are so good at this and so kind and so great and you help us so much and your work is wonderful' like YES 😤 #tell me MORE #jk i am not greedy

[glarncurious]

I didn't mean to but I'm kinda obsessed with her 🌵👽

#I really think Jenny is just so good and caring and friendly #The transition from a student to a nurse #And from a behaved daughter / responsible older sister to a full-grown human making her own choices #getting estranged from her parents #Now I really want to give her and PT9 a cat when they move in together #ts2 premades #jenny curious #jenny smith #curious family #smith family #sims aesthetic #aesthetic #strangetown

im .. always gonna be salty about my brief spit of contact with the ADHD clinic i was referred to because it was comically bad but mostly strike 3 on my already piss-poor opinion of mental health services in my area when i didnt have the freedom or mental bandwidth to try again

#like i literally had real ass reasons i needed to cancel these appointments as well but ooohh noooo #without speaking to me at all they can tell from a little glance at my medical history that i probably dont have ADHD #strikes 1 and 2 by the way were 1 - the ordeal of gender identity clinics in general being so ... messy ... and taking ages #(ages at that point is a blink of the eye compared to the TWELVE YEAR WAIT LIST which now exists) #and 2 was the regional mental health care nurse causing me to have a panic attack .. #in a way which even the student doctor with him was clearly uncomfortable over ... he sent out my two family chaperones as a 14 yr old #who could barely talk to ANYONE because 'it wouldnt be a good assessment' or some shit #anyway ... salty #im coping but i do think its likely i have adhd still ... just effort getting it sorted at this point yknow #im 28 and have other life shit to deal with other than starting a fight with mental healthcare over my idiot brain right now #rory's ramblings

You ever have a roommate that the longer you live with them and get to know them the less you trust them

#i have this new roommate who's pretty preppy and christian so like i put some distance between us just in case bc im queer #bruh shes an anti-vax nursing student and routinely posts like deranged christian propaganda videos to her instagram #like there was one with a young Black man on tour for something being interview #and the interviewer asks if he's a christian and he dismisses it like 'stop talking to me have a good day' #then it cuts to him beaten up in the hospital asking for prayers with the caption 'god will not be mocked' #what gets me on top of that tho was i looked at the original video #and it was a compilatiob of christian messaging most of which was pretty standard #so she CHOSE that specific section to post to her story #if i had any good feelings towards her its gone lol i dont trust like that #we're flat acquaintances from now on

med student steve & nurse eddie DID exist in my brain as a one shot (like a 20k-ish one) but i think it might end up being multichaptered. this is great news for all of you because it means you get to read it sooner

#charlie.mp3 #med student steve & nurse eddie #hospital au #based on current word count & how much more i would include in a hypothetical first chapter these would be 5-6kish chapters #which is pretty good???? #i do have can't shut the fuck up disease so no promises on that lmao

He's right; there is an education gap between men and women in many fields. I agree with him on the trades part too. Encouraging many students to go into trades instead of traditional university education is probably the best route for many people. But I do not like the implication that women's success has somehow caused this trend for men.

He also conveniently ignored some history. The fields of education (mainly as teachers to children) and health (mainly nurses) were for a very long time some of the only jobs women could have. I feel like this is missing a lot of information that would round the picture out a bit more. Historically, mainly only Men were professors and doctors, the leaders in these professions. Only recently (the last 120 years or so) did women start being allowed into higher positions in these fields.

I'm not going to write an entire thesis in response to this video. I have some thoughts but I'm still mulling it over. I feel like this would probably be something to share with my grad class next semester for sure.

#school teacher and nurse were some of the only jobs available to women for a very long time #and are both considered 'feminine' even if they shouldn't be so men are less likely to want to work those jobs #I agree with his idea about the trades though! That is true a person can make a very good living in the trades (my brother is) #and yes there is an education gap which is concerning #but there's just a weird tone to this almost like it's blaming women's success on men's failures? which is not right #men have choices- the fathers part was troubling too #society has harsher standards for mothers than it does fathers so women are expected to take on the majority of childcare #IDK I'm looking into education debates because I'm interested but also my next class is a teaching course #so I've been saving videos for next session #and this is both interesting and has some good points #education #I'm in grad school to become an English professor to undergrads (that's the hope) #trade school should be touted as much as university because it is better for some students really truly #we have an education crisis in the school system in America currently and I think we're going to have to start making some changes soon #big think #richard reeves #youtube #mychatter #Youtube

you will be glad to hear that having been given the opportunity to share an adaptation of fairytale in the first seminar of this module, i decided to behave myself and resist the urge to show them straight on till morning (1972)

#slightly hungover but it’s really nice— it’s going to be fascinating i can tell. nursing this lucozade like a son #forgot how actually nice and easy it is to say things in a seminar. #should have had a mint after the last cigarette last night. had a good time though :) #and it’s my flatmate’s birthday today (hence the drinking yesterday) so we’re getting a takeaway i believe #AND we have a microwave now. it’s as if i’m a student or something #i’ll try to answer asks once i’m home and i’ve eaten something 💓
