I had a pt with paronychia of the 3rd digit. He had it drained recently; but it came back. I didn't want to do incision and drainage, so I gave PO abxs. But he will probably need it drained again. This is a helpful video showing how to numb the fingers. I didn't do this in residency. I really wish we had more of this.

How do you turn off feelings?

You see, the acting-out, the yelling, the screaming and even the hitting, all that a person does, serves as a defence against the experience of the anger. It’s a defence against keeping the anger inside where it can be deeply felt. Discharge defends against anger being actually experienced.

We learn only how to numb the pain in a thousand different ways instead of facing it head on. The only way to heal is to walk through it.

laying in the nurses office after purging your lunch in her bathroom is so numbing

I've seen some people get angry at the concept of "compassion fatigue" and I know anger is a normal human response to repeated injustice but unfortunately, so is numbing.

I've struggled with numbing my whole life, and although it's not a healthy place to stay, it's a common human coping mechanism.

If you're experiencing numbness and apathy right now, just know that doesn't make you a bad person. It is, however a signal that you need to learn how to regulate your emotions and unblock them.

It's not a moral thing, it's a trauma thing. Anger isn't inherently more moral than sadness or numbness

You don't love yourself because you do this

How many times do you abandon yourself during the day? The fantasy that you like to escape to when you get some time alone, when the feelings of inferiority, shame, lack, guilt, not enough trickle in…Do you try to fill in the void with something outside of you? Abandoning yourself is a habit you learnt but it can be unlearned by choosing to be present with being over mind flairs! By prioritizing…
