If you feel tired in ways rest doesn’t fix, it might be because you’ve been living out of alignment with your own needs. That exhaustion isn’t weakness, it’s feedback. Listen to it before it turns into resentment. #life #love #laugh #start #today #fyp #healing #motivation #daily #reminder #grind #news #newsbreak #workout

I'm going in for a colonoscopy in 2 hours, and the nurse from the clinic just called to politely ask me to arrive clean.

You guys will appreciate this awkwardness. I have a colonoscopy coming up and you know that means a full prep day involving a whole lot of time in the bathroom. I was already stressed out about the procedure itself but then I got a call from the clinic nurse. She called just to politely remind me to wipe front to back and to thoroughly clean my butt area before I arrived. I was immediately so embarrassed and asked why on earth she had to call me for that. She said they have had a huge influx of people showing up unclean in the last few months so now they are making phone calls to remind people. I understand why they have to do it but that confirmation that people are seriously showing up unwiped for medical procedures is absolutely horrifying. I am glad I don't have that job. I took two showers just out of pure anxiety and shame after that call. #Hygiene #AwkwardMoments #Healthcare #TMI #Cleanliness #MedicalHorrorStories #Health

"This is why we need to bring back mental institutions" fucking disgusting. we have mental hospitals and some of those are shitty enough (this is coming from someone who has been in one and has family who has as well) and in certain cases, gives the person more trauma. I went to a mental hospital after i tried to commit suicide. I had undiagnosed autism and had half a bottle of antidepressants in my stomach. When i got to the mental hospital, the first morning, i woke up to a girl and a member of staff yelling at each other. full on yelling. Later in my stay i got contact high off of a different staff member who proceeded to flirt with me (i am a minor) I left that hospital, still self harmed, didn't eat, scared of yelling, scared of males, scared of people (mainly males) when they are high and terrified of hospitals. I was also harassed by the girls for being a trans male and i almost had to move units (which would have caused me to stay longer) because the girls kept claiming i liked them. (I am attracted to males and even had a boyfriend who was waiting for me to get out.)

What foods are actually terrible for you, but people think are healthy?

I’m talking about things like juice. Everyone’s parents told them to drink juice because it’s "fruit" and "100% natural" but seriously, that stuff is just an insane amount of concentrated sugar, often worse than soda because people drink huge glasses of it without thinking twice. #Nutrition #FoodMyths #HealthyEating #Food

Nipah Virus Outbreak: What’s Really Happening?

India’s dealing with a scary Nipah virus outbreak—five confirmed cases, almost 100 people quarantined, and no vaccine or cure in sight. Most cases are among hospital staff near Kolkata, and experts warn the virus can jump from bats to humans, especially in rural areas. The government’s scrambling to contain it, but the situation’s tense, especially with memories of past deadly outbreaks. Stay safe and keep an eye on updates! #Health #BodyHealth #NipahVirus

My Sister Uses ‘Fake Separation’ to Stay on SNAP

My sister and her husband live together but list separate addresses so she can qualify as a single mom. Most of her SNAP money goes toward frozen pizza and sugary snacks for her kid. The fraud bothers me—but the nutrition issue bothers me even more. #WelfareEligibility #SNAPAbuse #ParentingIssues #EthicsDebate

This Supplement Might Be a Secret Superpower

Who knew a basic amino acid could be such a game-changer? Scientists found that methionine—found in eggs, fish, nuts, and even as a supplement—might help your body bounce back faster from infections or injuries. It works with your kidneys to flush out nasty inflammation, so you heal without the drama. Before you run to the vitamin aisle, remember: this is early research (on mice!), but it’s wild to think dinner could double as medicine. #Health #BodyHealth #healthnews

some people can't work because of a disability or because they're retired. they deserve to get healthcare. #WorkOrLoseCare
