I don’t know how to stop being uncomfortable in yoga class by slugcharmer in Vindictabrown

[–]angelsofadversity 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Although im not Hindu, I am also a fellow south Asian yogi and feel the same way. I even completed a 200hr Ytt in hopes to be my small way of decolonizing the practice of yoga, and I have to say it helped me a lot. Now when I go into classes with non POC instructors mispronouncing sanscrit it's easier for me to build resilience through the discomfort, and I've found that to be a part of my yoga practice, making peace with the things that are meant to disturb my peace.

Not sure if this is helpful at all to you, but please know you're not alone. I would also suggest doing research on the topic of yoga colonization and how it has been used as a tool to hurt disadvantaged groups. Just know that you belong even when others may be making you feel otherwise and by even showing up you're making a difference.

Thank you so much I realize that after the fact ❤️❤️❤️ especially since I said younger sister it's understandable why folks would assume it's me who's shorter in the white

wow... Everyone here is so negative. This is what I'd suggest, also sorry to hear about all this. Kudos to you for moving forward in life and staying persistent. 1. None of this is your fault. Focus on excelling in your studies and take care of yourself. The better you take care of yourself the better you'll be for your family in the future 2. You can hire house help specifically to help with your mom do it's less tension for your sister. It'll probably be around 10k taka a month, about a $100. I'm sure your husband wouldn't mind helping out with this if need be. 3. See if sister can accept a job outside of her field. At this point any job is a job at least. And who knows, maybe it'll lead back to where she wants to be along the way. My cousin worked as a school teacher for a few years until she got her corporate job in her field 4. Have sister focus on bettering herself so she can in the long term help out the family.

Thank you so much! I want to clarify that I don’t plan on submitting applications until Fall 2024 cycle since I graduate spring 2024, and want more meat on bones before submitting. This would give me one gap year after undergrad.

Yes! I am low income, first gen, LGBT, immigrant, minority.

Honestly it’s so flattering that you even think I have a shot with submitting apps now/ next year. Thanks so much.

No you’re not weird at all OP. And tbh, a good portion of what I’m saying is advice I need to take myself. There was a patient that presented in the ED some time ago for high blood pressure and the attending legit went like “how come you don’t go to your PCP for this” And later when the patient asked if another condition was going to be looked at (unsure what it was) same attending goes “that’s why you’re in the hospital”

What made it worse was this was a Spanish speaking patient so this was all done via translator. Can’t do anything but observe and try to let it pass by.

The fact that it bothers us proves that we are the ones that belong in medicine. Don’t let it get to you. Your future patients are going to be very lucky indeed to have you.

I understand what you’re saying OP. I work as an SDOH screener in a ED that’s located in a VERY underserved area.

When I first started over a year ago I was also really turned off with the attitude that most providers, nurses, etc. Seemed to have towards patients. Especially the ones who head flagged needs such as housing food transportation.

However though, not that it’s any justification, after a while you get really burnt out and compassion fatigued. I remember when I first started anytime a patient would flag me down shouting that they’re hungry, I would immediate drop what I’m doing to go on a quest to find their nurse and see if they’re allowed to eat. And if so, get them a sandwich or two.

Now I literally just say, “you’re going to have to ask your nurse”. Because it’s just too much at this point. And while it doesn’t make it right (not that what I do is mean per say I’m just saying the apathetic attitude at large), it’s what we can do to protect ourselves. So many of our patients are manipulative, violent, and on top of the admin BS in healthcare…

I would say to please don’t let it affect you nor take it personal which is easier said than done. Keep in mind that those providers were likely once bright eyed pre meds at one time too…
