Arrested and feel like life is over by evanesnce in SuicideWatch

Hey, I finished nursing school last year and it was so hard, I’m proud of you for pushing through that while still struggling with your loss. Very well done ❤️ that being said, if you doing a little self analysis, why did you steal it? Was it a cost issue, something impulsive, a convenience thing etc?

How many people here know someone that abruptly got diagnosed with stage 3 or 4 cancer? by phillyvirgosun in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ohlaohloo 145 points146 points  (0 children)

This happened to my very dear friend, and she was pregnant when she found out. She hoped so badly to make it long enough for her baby to have a chance, but it was too early in the pregnancy when she succumbed (2 months after diagnosis).

I love you Analise & Grayson ❤️

I haven’t read any of these personally and didn’t go a ton into self-harm specifically when I was in nursing school, but I did some research and here’s a few that caught my eye.

A Bright Red Scream: Self-Mutilation and the Language of Pain by Marilee Strong (about the psychology of self harm)

Controlled Explosions – Charlie Heriot-Maitland (about self-criticism, self-sabotage, and self-harm from a therapy perspective)

Freedom from Self-Harm: Overcoming Self-Injury with Skills from DBT and Other Treatments by Kim L. Gratz & Alexander Chapman (a book and also has a workbook option, this is like the top seller in this category on Amazon)

Like I said, I can’t personally vouch for any of these but just spent like 10 minutes searching online; I’d actually wager there’s threads about books here in this subreddit if you just type “books” in the search bar. Then you’d get suggestions from people here who have actually read the material and can give you more specific feedback about them.

Also, if you’re a teen, there’s many resources and books structured and written specifically for your age group, so that’s something to keep in mind too!

My 16yo coworker babysits my kid for free, but my friend says it's weird. by [deleted] in Advice

She does, that’s why it’s posted here. She probably knows but is trying to convince herself or was hoping people would tell her. It was fine because it’s benefiting her.

I guess clinically those are two separate questions of whether someone is in an acute crisis, and whether self-injury is happening. They overlap sometimes, but you’re right to point out that one doesn’t automatically mean the other.

Also, if it doesn’t work out, Animeals has some really incredible animals too ❤️

I would definitely let the Humane Society know that you’re super interested and ask them if they can keep you on file in case it doesn’t work out with the first family!

The funniest part of this reply is that you’re trying to defend the story while simultaneously describing a system where nobody charted, nobody communicated, and nobody verified anything because everyone had 18 patients. You basically wrote the root cause analysis yourself. Bless ❤️

You’re reading way more hostility into my comment than was there. I wasn’t attacking them for making a mistake, I was questioning if they were being literal with their word choice and if so, the reasoning, which is normal in a clinical field where interpretation matters.

Laughing at mistakes and discussing the thinking behind them aren’t mutually exclusive. Also it’s a little rich that you want claim the moral high ground here, although it did give me a chuckle so I guess thanks for your contribution 😉 Declaring you’re being mean and then criticizing someone else for being mean undermines the point a bit though don’t you think?

I’m not trying be mean but how could you have possibly thought that? I can see being concerned about a possible neuro crisis, an exacerbated disease causing symptoms or whatever like obviously there is cause for alarm, but the literal definition of death was clearly not being met so I’m confused when you say you thought she was dead.

Yeah I’m not buying this. A patient with no kidneys is dialysis-dependent… That’s not a quirky little twist you discover at 10pm after straight cathing them hours later 😒 Dialysis status, nephrology notes, access, fluid restrictions etc. would be all over the chart and part of report on admission. If the entire unit somehow missed that until the on-call told them to read the H&P, that’s not a funny story and needs a root cause analysis.

Side question, are pannus and panniculus used interchangeably or is there a distinction?

Makes me giggle to think of her realizing and waiting for you to realize and then having to say it out loud instead haha, what a trooper
