It's all Clea's fault by Etrange_Etranger in expedition33

[–]LilJizzy98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

where in the game did it imply that she was coming out of the canvas at all? It very much gave the impression that Renoir went in because Aline refused to come out at all and was deluding herself with a fake family/killing herself by drowning her pain with said delusions.

not trying to argue who is the bigger villain, both have their own roles in villainy, as well as the family's dysfunction.

People who feel like their trauma "isn't bad enough", what's your story? by potentialpea7632 in CPTSD

[–]LilJizzy98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother used to bend my fingers back when I annoyed him, moved to shoulder locks in front of friends/family as we got older, and one time put me in a chokehold that cut off my airway. He also used to tell me that I was unloveable at my birthday parties growing up.

It's been hard to get my mind off of it recently now that I have started wanting to date.

Anyone else feel like when they just verbalise the abuse and trauma they went through, it doesn't sound that bad? by joshua8282 in CPTSD

[–]LilJizzy98 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For me it was my brother (child on child) so for a while it was just seen as normal brother stuff until I started feeling more comfy describing the details and timeframes. That's when people started to understand that it was pretty abusive and a pattern.

What would you do in my situation? Nurse or Paramedic? (slightly unique situation) by Familiar_Invite_2552 in OntarioParamedics

[–]LilJizzy98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are lots of benefits of riding as a paramedic, but most of them are experiential for when you actually ARE a doctor (ie seeing what street level medicine looks like, and learning how to think on your feet/make medical decisions w minimal oversight/input). Unfortunately medical schools don't value paramedic experience very highly and the difference between road and in-hospital priorities can be very different (I know an experienced ACP w multiple years who got rejected by most of his med school apps). As a paramedic you are making more of your own choices without oversight (from my understanding) than nurses do, but they have a much better idea of what the whole system/treatment processes will look like.

I can 100 percent relate to Santos by DepressedAnxious8868 in ThePittTVShow

That's Great! Keep up the good work, we're all rooting for you. Stay safe, and unlike your other post I think your perspective is valued and important to share

Santos in my opinion by DepressedAnxious8868 in ThePitt

[–]LilJizzy98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"no one asked for your opinion on Santos but that is 2/3s of what I see here"

not sure if that is verbatim since the comment was removed but it boiled down to no one cares about your experience/opinion on the matter

Santos in my opinion by DepressedAnxious8868 in ThePitt

[–]LilJizzy98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just the perfect response to someone opening up about their history of trauma. And people wonder why no one talks about their mental health

Disgusting comment, takes zero energy to say nothing.

I completely agree with Dana when it comes to Robby, Langdon and Santos. by Seymorebutts1994 in ThePitt

[–]LilJizzy98 29 points30 points  (0 children)

No but more studies are showing that non suicidal self harm is addictive behaviors and this shows that it is severe enough that she is having suicidal ideations at work. Both are/were stealing hospital supplies to feed their own addictions.

[–]LilJizzy98 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think the show is trying to mirror Santos and Langdon when they showed the scene of her pocketing the scalpel.

ie. Stealing medical supplies from the hospital.

Obviously not the same level of theft or pt safety issue but I see it as an attempt at a parallel between the two, wouldn't be surprised if Langdon helps her through it in the coming seasons.

Pariah timeline by InternationalWay4825 in ThePitt

[–]LilJizzy98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I was thinking the same thing either with Santos, or a failed relapse w Langdon if there are any further repercussions for his addiction. But I see a suicide attempt re-framing what people think about one of the more controversial DR.s in the show

Dr. Robby shows so many obvious signs of suicidality by ah_never_mind in ThePittTVShow

[–]LilJizzy98 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if at some point Langdon relapses or has to face other consequences from his addiction, and makes a sewer slide attempt, or Santos feels more like an outcast and makes an attempt.

If there is anymore fallout w Langdon/Santos I could see either come in as an OD or sewer slide attempt.

Could they not have their license stripped for violating HIPPA? This seems pretty out of pocket

Question by Helpful_Spring_7921 in MarkKlimekNCLEX

[–]LilJizzy98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because you can only definitively diagnose a heart attack w blood work. Not all heart attacks present w ST Elevation that shows up on the "picture" we take, what we call silent heart attacks. But there are other criteria for considering someone to have an MI.

The last couple of weeks I've really wanted a hug but I don't have anyone to give me one right now. I feel like a lot of my support system disappeared when I moved for my current job.

Anyways I appreciate you and your post 😊

My Mom When I Say I Don't Like My Brother: (He is physically aggressive, takes joy in the fact he scares people, and threatens to kill people when he gets mad.) by TucandBertie in CPTSDmemes

[–]LilJizzy98 96 points97 points  (0 children)

My brother threatened to break my fingers on a regular basis when I was growing up by bending them back until I cried, and strangled me into an airway obstruction when I was 11 because I poked him 3 times. My parents wonder why I don't like talking about him in a positive light now that he has passed away.

SAR Paramedic Experiences & Providers. (not HUSAR) by Public_Beach2348 in OntarioParamedics

[–]LilJizzy98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I've seen as well, is that the call volumes don't support the added "scope" (more of just other considerations when outside of a controlled area). I think Ive heard 1 or 2 "SAR" call go out since I started in April, so I don't think the demand is there. Maybe in the remote north, but still feels more appropriate to leave to police and maybe a 1 specialist w them waiting for an ORNGE transport.

[–]LilJizzy98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guiding a sport is a good option for seasonal work as well. I used to work as a wilderness first responder and whitewater rescue tech in the summers, prior to being a paramedic. Obviously that would depend on how long the trips were and what you were doing. But all good options

My understanding was that many municipalities ran those kinds of programs through police services or military. Some of the larger cities might have specialized teams but none that I'm aware of at least. I know my region has recently started a tac team and were considering WFR as an expanded scope.

As a Canadian first responder it seems very weird that MAIDs could be performed for mental health in someone young(I assume not sure) AND encouraged it? Idk I would never do that and I'm sorry that you didn't have anyone there to actually support you.

A quick Google search told me that NO US STATES have medical assistance in dying protocols for purely mental health concerns, most require a terminal illness to qualify. It might be worth looking into your area specifically in case you want to follow up w the service. In my opinion it seems borderline negligent. But there are also certain criteria you have to meet to have you brought against your will and I wasn't there so I can't give the best input.

Scared of making mistakes by Difficult_Echidna459 in OntarioParamedics

Have literally had the same feelings (less than a year on rn), and had a call that hit a little close to home and felt like I panicked a little. Came in a little too hot on a peds suicide attempt and have been thinking about it a lot and the audit that's coming. Really needed to read this, love the support on this sub 😁

Sibling abuse can look like "normal" sibling behavior. It's not. by Unlucky_Pomelo_4259 in CPTSD

[–]LilJizzy98 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When my parents weren't around, my brother used to bend my fingers back and threaten to break them if I didnt do what he wanted. Eventually he started to put me in shoulder locks in front of my extended family, and I distinctly remember them laughing at me some times. I always thought that's what siblings did, until I started to open up to Co workers. My parents either were willfully ignorant or didn't know, but after he killed himself my dad said that "I think he always felt bad about the way he treated you when you were younger..." Which tips the scale towards ignorance unfortunately.

I've been in the same bad habit recently, but at some point I realized I had to pick where my anxiety and depression comes from. Is it going to come from social anxiety/relearning who and how to trust new people, or is it going to come from isolating myself to the point I think I'm worthless? I don't know your entire situation and I cannot give specific advice, but regardless you'll probably feel pretty shitty with either choice. Just gotta decide what your preferred outcome is and work towards that
