Stress clouds my mind making it opaque,
Hitting like a magnitude nine earthquake.
Want to disappear,
As it gets heavier,
Rocking to and fro as I break.

Ran into a student (not one I teach) having a panick attack in the toilet today. We talked a bit, student calmed down and went back to lab class...
Hang in there, kids! End of semester can be especially tough. It 's OK to be not OK though, no need to hide. Lots of academics have been there and will help you as soon as they sense something is wrong.

This time last yr I was put on opioids. My condition so bad, unable to walk, I spent 16hrs a day sleeping. Not knowing whn I wld get the life changing surgery I needed

I got it, April this yr, it was a success, & I'm off the #Opioids

But, the build up to the last few yrs has taken its toll, the surgery & wht was found, has changed the trajectory of my entire life

I was ignoring this.

Today I took the step back to #counselling & contacted my counsellor
