I believe professionals in this industry have a lot of worry, empathetic load, and stress to carry with themselves. How come there are no special events or initiatives at hospitals to celebrate mental health month?

I never thought about that until I read your question. Our hospital does have a billboard and resources table under it dedicated to mental health services during Mental Health Awareness Month, but it is aimed at patients and visitors. That's not a bad thing, mind you. After all, it does raise awareness of the problem and the solutions. However, there is nothing focused on the employees. As I was thinking about that, it dawned on me that we in this profession are more aware of various diseases and conditions than anyone else in society. Still, we believe auto accidents, cancer, COVID, violent crime, mental illness are all things that happen to other people. We go around like we've got an S on our chest and there's no such thing as kryptonite. I suppose if we didn't, we'd be scared spitless and unable to do our jobs.

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!
