Not Coping

That sounds very concerning @creative_writer 🥺

I think it’s a good idea to visit a centre that supports urgent care outside of an emergency department, like the type kindly suggested by our @Birdofparadise8 💜🌺

It is not normal to be having unilateral weakness, and urgent care needs to be ruled out by face to face checks dearest 💜🌺

Oh I'm sorry @creative_writer

I'm here with you.

What's happening?

@Birdofparadise8 💜🌺☺️

I’m helping some researchers with consumer perspectives in cancer research, so I’m their consumer contributor ..my role is to review their research proposals for consumer relevance across the widest populations and geographical locations as possible, while ensuring that all patient engagement components of the research are ethically conducted by ensuring trauma informed and person centred practices are included (say, if the researchers need to have patient involvement for any reason during their research).

I usually get research proposals just before ethics committee submission..this is when I can include a bunch of wellbeing and person centred stuff so the research project is much more relatable and applicable to both participants and end users in the community.
I love doing this, because I can be the conduit between what the medics and PhD candidates think up and develop in labs for health, and the people they want to engage for testing and the end users in communities. I’m the oracle in the matrix lol 🙌🏻😀😉🌺

Wow how did you get into that @Former-Member

And a swim sounds really nice @Birdofparadise8 ☺️🌺

I hope you enjoy it, and can lose yourself in the moment while you’re gliding through the water 🏊‍♀️ 🙂🌺

Hey there @creative_writer 💜💜🌺

Sounds like your really in a whirlwind of thought at the moment dearest ❤️‍🩹

Is there anything that can break this cycle for you? 💜🌺

I'm so sorry @creative_writer

I hope you will keep fighting. We all care about you here. I know I do.

I kind of fell into it a bit @Birdofparadise8 🙂🌺

I was advocating independently, and spoke to someone about how I used to teach at tafe and other institutions, and they referred me to a place (research institute), who then referred me to another larger one, then from there I’ve been sent a number of opportunities across different research institutions 💜🙂🌺

Is it volunteer work or paid @Former-Member
