Did they also adjust for stress and availability of health care?

    The study is done on US women, so healthcare is a mere dream they once had.

    Also if you can afford a Mediterranean diet in the US, you're probably decently well off and get better healthcare in general.

    Kinda reminds me of those news stories about how people who drink 1-2 glasses of red wine 3-5 times per week have the best health outcomes. Like yeah, I get that rich people are doing fine.

    Can you define a meaningful difference between “availability of” and “access to?”

    yes, the difference is that when I wrote that I haven't had my coffee yet and completely missed the second half of your sentence. my bad.

    haven't slept well in a while, with all the ICE being in my town stress.

    Do you or anyone here also experience the trump effect? Where there’s just so much head spinning chaos generated in the constant barrage of news you start to catch his dementia in forgetting names and words that were once so easy to grasp not even a yr ago?

    The human brain was not designed for the 24 hr news cycle. If you're already organized in a movement try to focus energy there. People give back more than they get usually.

    If you're not currently in a Rapid Response or Mutual Aid network feel free to reach out I'm happy to talk about resources.

    Also, if you're not already, make time for loved ones and friends. Do activities with them and share the burden.

    I’m happy to check whatever resources you throw my way.

    Today I just entirely stepped back from all the social media and news. Didnt look at any of it and just concentrated on my own projects. I can feel a bit of my brain coming back to me already

    I think tomorrow I’ll throw a museum channel on and just have that in the background. I’ll happily take another day of detoxing

    That’s alright, neighbor, makes sense to me. I’ve found my stress move from the anxiety to the numb zone over the past week or two. Sometimes it feels silly to go through the motions of work and life, but just keep on keeping on, find some volunteer opportunities if you haven’t (I can DM you one if you want), and take care of yourself.

    I'm keeping myself so fucking busy, between mutual aid and organizing. I don't think anyone can have a better support network, my friends literally go to hotels parking lots to check license plates for ICE. but it's still scary as fuck being stuck in the greencard process at this time.
