I think y’all should be aware that I’m asleep when I say these things. He’s not giving you any context for them
Me: How you feeling?
@karencuthbert.bsky.social : A little chestnut.

After showing Karen a video of someone doing a turtle impression:
Karen: Occupational hazard.
Me: Occupational hazard of what?
Karen: Researchers. Lecturers. [pause] No, because they don't work the ocean.
She then proceeded to eat a napkin, and fall asleep again, all within 15 seconds.

First time I’ve ever came out of an appointment with a psychiatrist feeling better about myself. (I’ve been seeing psychiatrists since I was 11). No gaslighting, and giving me autonomy over this drug we’re trying. Insisting that I recognise that what I’m doing right now is so damn much.
