Rare Disease

I went to the vet yesterday and my 13yr old dog Mayak had a panic attack when they took him in the other room. He already has breathing issues and a carcinoma in his neck so we did X-ray again and looks like the cancer isn't spreading but his larynx paralysis is giving him trouble. They had to put him on oxygen and they gave him a sedative and he looked terrible he couldn't walk so I carried him to the truck. It was breaking my heart seeing him like that I finally got home yesterday and now he is resting fine. It's a rare bond between chronically ill people and there pets this dog has been with me through seven surgeries and I can't imagine life without him 💙#Anxiety #OCD #RareDisease #MuscularDystrophy #ChronicPain #MajorDepressiveDisorder #PeripheralNeuropathy

When looking for a new doctor or regularly seeing your current one, several factors determine whether they’re a good fit. One of those factors is how you attend your appointments. For some, in-person visits feel more personal and avoid potential technical issues. For others, telehealth or phone appointments may be more convenient due to accessibility, distance, or scheduling needs.

What about you? Do you prefer in-person appointments, or does it depend on the doctor or reason for the visit?

The world around us is constantly evolving, and opportunities to keep learning often arise when we have more questions than answers. Whether it’s about our health, finances, spirituality, career, work, hobbies, sense of purpose, motivation, inspiration, or personal interests, there’s always more we can discover and understand.

What’s something you’d like to gain more clarity about? What’s sparking your curiosity right now? What’s something you’d like more answers to?

So much has happened this year, positive, negative, and everything in between.

What are 3 things you are grateful to have experienced? What made those experiences important to you?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks 3 things are getting closer and going out with her family more, being open and honest with her therapist (which helped her release a lot of grief she was feeling), and setting boundaries with herself and others and sticking to them.

So much of depression pulls you into the past or the future. Regrets about what happened. Fear about what’s coming.

But the present moment often gets forgotten. And the truth is, the present is the only place where healing can actually begin.

Your breath is the anchor. When you pay attention to it, even for just a few seconds, you pull yourself out of the endless cycle of “what was” and “what if.”

That simple act is not small. It is the doorway to change. Because when you are here, in this moment, you have the power to begin again.

Do you ever notice how your breath changes when you bring your awareness to it?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how I recovered from depression and suicide back when I was a teen.
