@SWJ_1 A very sad situation, and a most worrying statistic. Being a nurse is a physically and emotionally demanding role - something which often goes unacknowledged. #Nursing

@SWJ_1 I hope we can all support each other daily on the ground. Monitor your mental well-being before & after every shift. It can be hard to reach out but please talk to someone, let’s not let it get out of our control. Colleagues, if in doubt just ask 🤞@SkyNews @SWJ_1 @RCNNRN

@SWJ_1 I hope the research addresses Long-COVID and nurses. Many nurses have become disabled and destitute having developed Long-COVID. Many have been retired off having been 'discarded' after putting their necks on the line for a 'callous' healthcare system.

@SWJ_1 Fllow nurses, there's absolutely no glory in suffering. Talk to people you look up to. If it means taking a career break,take one. You are precious to have around. And nursing as a profession will still be here anytime. You matter. Take care of yourself, unapologetically.

@SWJ_1 Need specialist support separate from the usual mental health support for health care staff who might not want to be seen by their team or peers

The Get Out Reframe Free yourself from endless negative thoughts by saying, "Get out" Try it just once and see how it works Scott Adams "There's a part of you that lives only in your head, where you think about the past, which literally doesn't exist. It's imaginary. It existed at one point, but now it's just the thoughts of the past. You also have thoughts of what will happen in the future. And that doesn't exist. So the life you live in your head is a completely imaginary one."

Psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Tufts, who started seeing Lindsay Clancy as a telehealth patient in September 2022, was cross-examined by Clancy's defense attorney Kevin Reddington on Monday, resulting in several tense exchanges. At one moment, Tufts testified that Clancy had told her she was "worried she was close to having suicidal thoughts," and described that further as feeling "hopeless." Tufts then continued to read from her notes which stated that Clancy had gone to the emergency room "for SI" or suicidal ideation. When asked if that was different from what she described earlier as being "worried she was close to having suicidal thoughts," Tufts said she can't answer that with a yes or no.

Children in Gaza have suffered the unimaginable. In the first 3 months of this conflict alone, 1000 children had one or both legs amputated. That's over 10 children every day. We need an immediate bilateral ceasefire and we needed it 6 months ago.

One of the most effective treatments for trauma is to practice positive thoughts *when one is not in a stressed state*. It also turns out that letting the patient determine exactly what is said, is clinically most effective. Dr Carrión MD of Stanford Medicine on the HLPodcast:

Kudos to Harsh Dubey for openly highlighting the reservation issue in our education system. Reservation leads to suicidal thoughts. Many GC candidates who don't get a college seat despite scoring good marks, They start thinking of suicide. But sadly no one talks about it.

Racism towards nurses has hit a 'crisis point' in the UK. That's the stark warning from the nursing and midwifery regulator. It comes as a report from the Nurses' Union finds that incidents of racism have increased by 55% in the last three years. But with many too scared to speak up, they say the number of cases could be far higher. Polly Bartlett reports.

$LINK 🔵 My thoughts on Chainlink are that we continue to grind lower back into the 2022-2023 support area between $4.50-$7.50 over the next couple of months. - RSI now at the same oversold levels as the bear market lows ✅ I believe we start recovering towards all time highs later in the year heading in 2027.

"As I went home after the war was over, this was one of the recurring visuals that I had in dreams and in thoughts. When soldiers go to war, they don't anticipate this kind of moral injury." Lieutenant General Mark Hertling recounts a moment that he details out in his new book, "If I Don't Return," that still sticks with him to this day.

FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS CYCLE, MORE THAN HALF OF ALL BITCOIN IS UNDERWATER. 🇺🇸 Roughly 53% of circulating supply now sits at a loss. Loss has overtaken profit for the first time since the last bear market. This exact crossover flashed in 2019, March 2020, and 2022. Every time, near a major cycle bottom. But history adds a warning: The signal marks the zone, not the day. In 2020 it lasted a month. In 2022, almost 6 months. This is the kind of moment that rewards attention, not haste. The opportunity is real. So is the patience it demands.
