I have BPD and the only medication that I'm regularly prescribed is melatonin. When my sleep is bad, I start to spiral and I get so unwell that I can't effectively engage in therapy. The worse I get, the worse I sleep. Sorting my sleep out is always the first step we (me and my doctor and shrink) take towards getting better.

No sorries. Thanks for writing it!
I felt similar. Tried meds, depression dissappear, but was left with pure apathy.
I've been doing a twice weekly DBT since. The results are palpable.

(I'd love if you could share any of the readings/things you find helpful.)

There for sure is not a make it all better pull. Most research shows therapy is more beneficial than meds for PTSD.
(Best results are meds + therapy.)

A very sincere thank you for sharing.

The African hair market is different from the European hair market. The products you're thinking of are different and have nothing to do with treatments that would be applied to African hair. Relaxers, for example.

50 years ago they inhaled lead like it was no ones business. Sorry we don’t want brain damage like you boomers. No wonder you resorted to violence because people were “annoying”.

Maybe PoC should be more comfortable with their natural hair. Why shouldn’t that be normalized?

The only “product” i use as a white person is head and shoulders once every few days.

The natural hairstyle of PoC should be ok right?

Without getting into the weeds of which vaccine does what for which variant

COVID infection during pregnancy has been ASSOCIATED with about a 40% incidence of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, such as preeclampsia

Fallout from this is less well studied but that can increase incidence of preterm delivery (which has its own issues) increased need for induction of labor at 37 weeks rather than showing natural labor to occur and increased risk for c section
