I'm thankful for my mental health. Seems like these days half my friends are on anti-anxiety and depression medication. I'm thankful for my physical health too. I may be a little overweight but it's still above average for my friend group. I get sick maybe twice a year, certainly beats being on dialysis or whatever. I'm thankful for having a family, someone I belong to, and who belongs to me. I'm thankful for having…

> That's amazing! I'm super happy for you and your family! > Your comment gave me pause because it reminded me that it is opt-in not opt-out. It is an election cycle, I wonder if we could convince one of the candidates to switch us to opt-out rather than opt-in for organ donation. While I am personally an organ donor, I don't believe the state should be the defacto owner of my organs post mortem.
The Netherlands is switching to opt-out, it is a thing of huge controversy here.
I’m thankful for the heart donor who saved my newborn daughter’s life last week. My daughter contracted Coxsackie B enterovirus at 2 weeks old, and it scarred her left ventricle beyond repair. Her donor has given her a second chance. Another family had to make a heartbreaking choice at a devastating moment, and they chose to give life to my daughter and probably several other gravely ill infants. Check your organ don…
I am very thankful my Kidney donor and to all the teams that support me post and pre transplant.

Anti-anxiety medication doesn't seem to be working for me, but I am having a hard time figuring out what to do next with my psychiatrist. It's not as if switching medication is somehow better than sticking with something that's of unknown efficacy. Ugh.

A few months ago another cancerous spot popped up. The oncologist wanted to hold off a bit and see how it was reacting to my current medication. I wasn't thrilled about this since your urge is to just get in there and kill it. But he probably knows best. But about a week ago he said that since it isn't spreading they might as well go in and zap it with some radiation. This is ideal since I can deal with a bit more ra…
How do they stop your breathing? And for how long?
I'm extremely claustrophobic so I take a number of pills before each treatment to relax.
Last time I had this done they stopped it seven times for about 90 seconds each time. The first time they did a countdown from 90 letting me know how long to hold my breathe. The countdown made it about a billion times worse so I asked them to stop. Now I just close my eyes and let the pills take me to a better place.
