#it's all in your head

[janesurlife]

I want to talk about this "mentality" thing once and for all cause charles Fans (and Oscar fans too) bring this up again and again. First of all not all drivers have the exact same personality so it's understandable that they react differently in similar situations. Max used to be criticised cause he wasn't as flashy as Hamilton. Now Lando is being criticised for either celebrating too much or too little. George is sometimes made fun of because of the way he reacts to his achievements while Oscar is often praised for not being "too reactive". YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'RE VERY DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

Now to address this tweet, a lecfosi is criticising Carlos for thanking his team after an ok race while praising Charles for not saying anything (which I don't even think is true, he did say something but this ferrari news account is famous for misinformation)

First of all, ferrari shat in qualifying...not mincing my words here. Both drivers suffered, both made mistakes and they landed on 9th and 10th. So after that their priority would be to finish in points and that's exactly what they did. Carlos had to struggle a bit more because of the bad start but he made a good recovery. He understands that this race could have gone so much worse for them so after finishing the race unharmed and with points, thanking his team and the mechanics for repairing the car in time is the least he could do as a driver. I don't wanna go into too much detail about Charles but in my very personal opinion not thanking your team (IF he really didn't) after a job well done doesn't make you look like a champion, it makes you look like a passive aggressive whiney bitch but that's just me. So please stop with this "championship mentality" bullshit cause it means nothing.

The brain is a physical organ.

I found an article about inappropriate things professionals in healthcare settings have been heard saying, and a lot of it is pretty bad. But it was nice to see a doctor in a medical publication saying what I’ve been saying for years: The brain is a physical organ.

MedPage Today - The Worst Thing I've Heard a Doctor Say — Awkward, offensive, cringe-inducing things colleagues have said by Mikhail Varshavski, DO October 17, 2024 My name is Jake Goodman and I'm in my last year of psychiatry residency. The worst thing I have ever heard a doctor say about a patient was, "It's all in his head. It's not real." In our head is a really complex thing called a brain. It's an organ just like any other organ in your body and it can get sick, just like with your other organs. If your pancreas gets sick, you can get pancreatitis. If your lungs get sick, you can get emphysema. If your brain gets sick, you can get depression or anxiety, [post-traumatic stress disorder], psychosis, and insomnia. It's in our heads, but that doesn't make it not real. It's as real as any other medical condition.

I think often calling something psychosomatic is a cop-out by clinicians for stuff they don’t understand or whatever medical science hasn’t figured out already. Which is why it gets applied often to people with Long Covid and various post-infection conditions that are poorly understood, or even poorly studied so far. And it's why there's this weird carve out for mental health where it's not treated as healthcare, for example by having separate insurance coverage for “behavioral health” - a term that seems to indicate the purpose is controlling behavior rather than relieving suffering.

I go further and say that the assertion of “psychosomatic” or “all in the head” is actually based in superstition. 

Political abuse of behavioral science and mental health. Chloe Humbert Apr 12, 2024 Anyone who tells you a health issue, mental illness or physical illness, is “purely psychological” is telling you they believe in superstition and metaphysics, they are not talking about medical science, because the brain is a physical organ, and there is no thought or behaviour divorced from the human body in scientific terms - only in supernatural or religious terms.

You know I was just thinking about how women tend to describe their partners as "sun" and men tend to describe their partners as "moon" - and I think, it's because women always underestimate themselves and are criticized for everything and most of the times they have to downplay their achievements to make their partners feel better, so when they are in love with the right person who supports them and wants them to have their moment, they bloom like a flower, under the sun - someone who makes their eyes shine, someone who makes them happy. Their sunshine.

On the other hand men tend to suppress their emotions, ("Why are you crying - just go to the gym and work it out of your body like a man") most of them are depressed because of how little they get to express themselves and who do we go to when we have no one?? THE MOON. the moon is every depressed person's friend and that's why men see their partners as the moon, someone they can be vulnerable with, someone who sees the dark side and still stays -

(It's probably all bullshit but this explanation just makes me feel better )

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

rolling over, half asleep, in the middle of the night and when you stretch your arm out you end up smacking ghost in the face, and you can’t help but fling yourself back with a loud gasp before realizing it’s just your man, who yet again, snuck inside and cozied up to you without stirring you (bc he hates waking up his baby) bc he was able to come home early and chose to surprise you. and after you relax and begin apologizing for hitting him you hear his low, growly chuckle as he sits up to pull you into his chest, kissing your forehead before mumbling into your sweet smelling hair “it’s all right lovie, di’n’t mean to scare you.”
