This may be controversial but I Genuinely wish people would stop being all arrogant and patronising Abt organ donation.
Like people talking abt organ donation to me is the equivalent of those virtue signalling posts on tiktok that’s like “if you don’t do this you’re a shit human being and don’t deserve genuine love or care” cuz yeah organ donation is important but so is respecting people’s wishes who don’t feel comfortable doing it. For example if your religion doesn’t allow it. Me personally I’m not opposed to organ donation but I don’t want to sign up (I live in a country where I’m automatically assumed an organ donor unless I opt out anyways) because I have such bad anxiety if I think about it I will have a panic attack. And I struggle rlly bad w intrusive thoughts and one occurring one is Abt having my organs removed so I just hate thinking about it bc it’s genuinely really distressing for me. Like the thought of having my organs taken is just so panic inducing and awful for me to think about because it reminds me of how I’m going to die one day and I’m actually terrified of that so xxxxx and whenever I try to explain this to people when I say I’m not an organ donor (haven’t got a card that u get when u sign up) it’s like “WHY NOT??!?!?!?” “YOULL BE DEAD YOU WONT NEED THEM!!!” “WHY ARE YOU SUCH A SHIT PERSON DO YOU NOT CARE ABOUT OTHERS IN NEED????” Like no. Just let me explain for two secs and stop being an asshole !!! I just think that it’s stupid cuz I think that even if it’s not for religious reasons we should still respect the wishes of the dead. If I say I don’t want to donate I don’t want to and I have a valid reason and that should be respected. I get that organ donation is struggling bc of aging population but you don’t have to make me feel guilty about my genuine fears and anxieties because you want to make yourself look better. Cuz these people don’t care they just wanna make themselves seem better than you most of the time. And they just scream at you and it’s really upsetting.
#more in tags#like there’s ways to get people to donate but publicly shaming and humiliating them is not it#and it just hurts as a mentally ill person to be hounded over things that genuinely make my illness worse#bc god forbid I want to stay stable and not have a breakdown#plus I’m also disabled like it’s good I’m not an organ donor bc babes none of this is working for me#so why would it work for anyone else#organ donation is a privilege and I feel as well that I’m not heard out as a disabled person when I try to explain#that hey I am self aware enough to know that my organs wouldn’t be of use to anyone once I die bc they’ll probably be the reason I do#plus I can still donate in other ways#like I’m all for donating blood or plasma and to help where I can and feel comfortable doing so#but forcing people to do something bc YOU think it’s best without even considering personal nuance is stupid and I hate it#organ donation#organ donor#personal#mirs thoughts#mir screams#vent#vent post#mental illness#mental health#blood donation#blood donor#plasma#hospital#blood drive#healthcare

I’m in the middle of doing my #millionstepsfordiabetesuk
I wondered if anyone could be kind enough to donate to a great cause, that has helped me and so many other people.
I was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes in 2016 when I was 18 years old.
Since then I have also been diagnosed with EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency), Diabetic Retinopathy, and Chronic Pain. I have also lost my teeth due to bad control and being unsupported by my diabetes team.
Even if it is only a few pence, or a few pounds (even if you’re in America or other countries), every penny helps!
All money goes to DiabetesUK to help other diabetics get the help they need!
This is a really important cause for me. I know I have only done 254,131 steps but I am dealing with chronic pain and I’m logging every step I am taking even if it isn’t much.
These guys have helped me with so much. Even if I didn’t know it yet.
Without donations I probably wouldn’t have got the pump or sensor that have helped me lower my HbA1c or my blood sugar!
Please help where and when you can. This challenge finishes on 30/09/23! 30th September 2023!
Please help me get more money for this amazing charity and the amazing people that have helped me and others so much!
#mental health awareness#mental health#diabetes uk#type one diabetes#type one diabetic#one million step challenge#every donation counts#please help other diabetics#diabetes#diabetics#diabetes community#blood sugar#blood glucose#charity#diabetic retinopathy#exocrine pancreatic insufficiency#chronic pain#teeth extraction#please help#please help me#donate what you can afford#every penny counts#charity walk

Look mama I'm on tv!
But seriously though. Please give blood.
I know there are plenty of conspiracy rumors and truths and black folks blood and organs being sold on the black market.
But instead of worrying about things you heard, think about this.
Sickle Cell Disease.
This is considered a black disease.
Can you imagine living 95 percent of your life in terrible pain?
Because the blood your body produces is sickle. Black babies screaming in pain and having to be medicated for pain at such an early age and develop a tolerance.
Pain medication is prescribed differently too. Medical facilities tend to treat black adults with sickle cell as junkies trying to fix a habit when they have pain crisis and limit medication given out. Now think of this compared to an adult living with cancer who would be given treated differently when it comes to pain management and medication.
I know this 16 year old with sickle cell. Her pain has gotten so bad she is prescribed methadone and dilaudid on a weekly basis. She has a full hip replacement surgery on one hip and a partial hip replacement on the other. She is constantly in back pain with her MRI showing major deterioration in her vertebrae. She is just 16. Imagine other black kids who are dealing with this. Living a life in pain.
Sickle Cell is a major disease that affects mostly the black community. It's hard to get help for patients who need bone marrow transplant when many blacks refuse to donate their bone marrow. I just ask to please help by donating blood.

Someone a while ago told me apparently not to tag donation posts with trigger warnings?? I only do that for gore or blood. As someone whose sensitive to both of those things and has multiple friends who are, call me privileged if you want, but I’m gonna trigger warn it. I’ll still pass it along in hopes others can help, but fuck off telling me not to trigger warn actual blood and gore.
#‘comes off as callous and privileged’ eat shit rando#I nearly fainted at the sight of one of my own injuries I don’t wanna hear your sniveling bullshit#I was super close to needing a hospital from fainting and blood loss so I don’t wanna hear it fuckass#even one of my Instagram buds whose trying to help spread awareness and spread donation posts and causes trigger warns for that stuff so 👀#mine#op

*rattling the bars of my cage and screaming*
I WANT TO TAKE CARE OF MY HEALTH I JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO ASK FOR HELP IN A WAY THAT WILL LET ME BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
#blue chatter#I know I need to talk to a doctor abt the pain issues#I know this#my concern is that the focus of my past few visits has been purely about my BMI#which is not helpful.#even if that is relevant to the current concerns. massively altering my weight would me a work intensive long term goal/pipe dream#sure. me weighing less could reduce my joint pain. it’s a possibility. I cannot snap my fingers and lose 20 pounds.#sure. my weight could affect my heart rate and my ability to exercise.#you could even argue that I’m pretty sedentary and could stand to exercise more#I still cannot snap my fingers and lose 20 pounds.#my heart rate is still really high *now*. it is hard to exercise without feeling like I can’t catch my breath *now*.#sure. my breasts are not entirely fibrous tissue. if I lost weight they would probably be smaller. reducing my back pain.#I *still* cannot snap my fingers and lose 20 pounds.#but somehow every conversation in the doctor’s office comes back to my weight#especially if *gasp* it’s gone up in the past year#yeah. I’m aware. it’s not something I can super control.#the fact remains that I do not have the spoons to spend on the diet and exercise plans I know I will get recommended#and I know I will get recommended them because my parents go to this doctor and my dad went through an intense weight loss program#which. by the way. despite him heavily restricting his diet and exercising to run a 5k. did not lead to long term weight loss.#and he did not end up sticking with it long term bc it made him actively miserable and he enjoys things like food with fat in it and wine#but I also know that I should not be ignoring all these red flags.#I’m also worried that if I bring up heart issues again then they’ll take me off my ADHD meds#which would be fair as a first trial to see if it helps reduce symptoms#but also. I don’t get shit done without my meds. I wasn’t consistently medicated in high school or freshman year of college#and I was so exhausted all the time just doing the bare minimum#it felt like running headfirst into a brick wall constantly. and I don’t want that for myself.#also in the periods I went off of my meds myself for a week to try and lower my heart rate it did very little#bc believe me. I would love to be able to donate plasma. but I can’t bc I’m over 100BPM at rest.#I would make so much money if I could sell my blood water but I Cannot

Inseparable since childhood: Steven Rogers and James Buchanan “Bucky” Barnes…
#we used to be a fucking country.#I donate blood as often as I’m permitted to; workie spaces out blood drives quite nicely#but I’m very aware that (other traumatic instances regarding my blood related family)#I’m happy to hand over a pint of my actual blood as often as is sensible/healthy#idk what the logic is from the people recognize the restrictions on gay men are godawful#bc the restrictions are genuinely godawful; if you’re aware about your HIV status and it’s negative#you should be able to donate blood regardless of how recently you’ve had unprotected sex with someone#personal#rant in tags#blood donation#blood for the blood god

Raising Sickle Cell Awareness in Memory of Israel Adeoye.
So my nephew (by way of marriage), Israel Oluwamide Adeoye, passed away 3 weeks ago from Sickle Cell Disease at the age of 27.
After his death, I discovered his TikTok page and proceeded to listen to all of his videos and learned more about his experiences with the disease and specifically with the medical establishment.
Y’all! I was appalled. And slightly embarrassed for not having known more while this was happening. I’ve known sickle cell exists and could have rambled off a brief definition of what it was in terms of its etiology. What I did NOT know was the ravaging way in which it affects people’s actual daily lives and an inside look at what the day-to-day looks like for those going through it. Listening to his stories deeply humbled me.
When I met my husband, it was on our second date that he asked me about my status and if I was a carrier for sickle cell trait (AS). I did not know. Still don’t know actually. But because he knew he was AA (a non-carrier), I guess it didn’t matter for us so much in terms of carrying on dating. But I understand now why we had that conversation so early on.
I also learned from one of Israel’s TikToks that Sickle Cell Awareness Day is the same day as Juneteenth. He was disheartened that the Juneteenth holiday overshadowed Sickle Cell Awareness Day and wanted more people to know about the disease. He often ended his videos detailing his medical abuse with a charge for us to help and “do something about it.” I kinda took that charge to heart.
In honor of Israel, and all Sickle Cell Warriors, I wanted to take up his cause and do my small part to help with raising awareness. We are all we got y’all! Back in the 70’s the Black Panther Party saw this need and they were fighting for this awareness too. One of the main initiatives for the Party setting up the free health clinics was to get people screened for sickle cell disease and trait. It is 2024, some 50 years later, and still, this isn’t being talked about nearly enough. I know they are beginning to make some strides with gene therapy it seems…but a cure that is readily available and affordable for all is probably still some ways away.
So what is sickle cell disease? According to the NIH, “Sickle cell disease is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders that affect hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen through the body. Normally, red blood cells are disc-shaped and flexible enough to move easily through the blood vessels. In sickle cell disease, red blood cells become crescent- or “sickle”-shaped due to a genetic mutation. These sickled red blood cells do not bend or move easily and can block blood flow to the rest of the body.
The blocked blood flow through the body can lead to serious problems, including stroke, eye problems, infections, and episodes of pain called pain crises.”
The condition affects more than 100,000 people in the United States and 20 million people worldwide. According to the CDC, “more than 90% are non-Hispanic Black or African American, and an estimated 3%–9% are Hispanic or Latino.” Pause and let that sink in for a moment. More than 90% of us!
“About 1 in 13 Black or African American babies are born with sickle cell trait.
About 1 in every 365 Black or African American babies are born with sickle cell disease.
The estimated life expectancy of those with SCD in the United States is more than 20 years shorter than the average expected.”
Those are pretty chilling statistics to me. Like any disease, there is a spectrum of how well one can do while having it, but no one is exempt from the pain.
So with all that being said… The purpose of this post. I don’t know what to do to “fix it” as he asked. And I am sure I don’t have the power to do much, though I will continue to research and figure out a more satisfying answer to that question for myself. But for now…
I am doing a bake sale for Juneteenth in honor of Israel and for World Sickle Cell Day. The proceeds from the bake sale will be donated to Health Equity Matters Foundation in his name, as was requested by the family at his funeral.
I would be honored if you all would support this initiative by buying cupcakes or just making a donation if you don’t want the actual cupcakes.
Better yet, if you want to take it a step further, I charge everyone to go get tested to see if they are sickle cell carriers and know their status. Make sure your children know theirs also.
If you are able to, donate blood!
I don’t want to say that he lost his fight to sickle cell. He fought well and was awarded the rest he so desperately needed. But his fight is over. However I am personally making sure that his charge to “do something” did not fall on deaf ears. This is my little version of “something.” And if nothing else, every Juneteenth y’all will hear from me a post about Sickle Cell Awareness Day, even if that’s all I can do. Posting additional links in the comments for those who want to know more.
Rest well Israel.
