I need help figuring out which is easiest 😭😭

I put Thomas the tank engine in and it bricked. Won’t turn on again. 😭😭 was working genuinely perfectly until then??

Why is no one talking about Cora’s bruising?
Upper arm, 3 small bruises (suggestive of fingers but no forensic weigh in)
Lower legs (inner ankles) bruising on both legs.

THIS IS SUGGESTIVE OF BEING CARRIED, NO???

And before anyone says they were old, the woman in court said they were red which suggests they were very recent.

In my mind this paints a picture of someone holding her arms and legs to carry/move her.

Let me start off by saying, safeguarding can be LIFE SAVING. And I’m not upset that safeguarding is taken seriously when it comes to babies and infants.

1. If you are of any melanated ethnicity about to give birth, please do not leave ninewells until you have requested the midwives look for birthmarks and note every single birthmark down. (However Mongolian blue spots can develop or become more noticeable days after birth when your baby becomes a normal color)

I know so many parents of non-white babies in Dundee that have had to deal with their babies BIRTHMARKS being referred to paediatrics. Mongolian blue spots are a blue/grey birthmark. They are extremely common. Like 99% of Chinese babies being born with them ‘common’.

If your baby is referred for a Mongolian blue spot, *please request dermatology* to confirm for the doctors that it is a birth mark.

I have had a horrible experience with ninewells before because of my own baby having this birth mark. I was not believed it was a birth mark. My paediatrician requested forensics, but did not request dermatology. I had to sternly ASK for dermatology to see my baby and confirm. I later filed a complaint because of the things my dr said to me.

She denied ANY investigation of the birth mark at all.
She straight up lied.
A medical photographer took pictures of my babies birthmark. My health visitors were also extremely aware that this was about my babies birthmark as they had to sit in a room with police and tell them that this is a birthmark.

Obviously since my complaint and the complaints of other parents I know, training around identifying Mongolian blue spots is still lacking.

So please, be aware that *you can request dermatology to confirm it is not a bruise* if you are ever in this situation. It will save you so much stress and time. ❤️

This is just a rant because I need to remind myself to not slide back into this addictive cycle

I have flip flopped between EDs since I was 11yo.
Recently, my longest stage has been “non-purging bulimia” - for anyone who is like wtf is that, it’s where I would binge for days and then not eat for 3 days and exercise heavily. I genuinely thought this was not bulimia until my dr told me it was.
Since trying to recover, I just slipped back into binge eating disorder and I’ve gained so much weight. Everyone has commented on it which is making me feel worse. And now I’m back to the yak.

Idk if it counts as a relapse if I’ve just never been good to begin with, but this is the first time since February I’ve purged. This time I didn’t empty my full stomach. Idk if that’s weird to say, but the texting of mush at the end of the purge is just so vile to me.

I’ve never felt good with bulimia. I’ve never felt the control or the power that people describe. I’m so ashamed and the shame makes me binge and then the shame of binging makes me purge. I’m so tired.
Most of all, I’m ashamed I can never make it to fully empty my stomach when I purge. Like a pointless bulimic. It’s the worst addiction anyone could have :(

If anyone took the time to read this, thank you. I’d love to just not feel alone in this right now. No one around me knows about my eating problems.

Hey everyone, I have a few old phones just rotting away in my attic, where do I learn how to create a cyberdeck outta em?

What are beginner resources I should know?
How did you all start your journeys with this? Thank you for any help!!
