The Harvest Will Come

joanwestenberg.com · Dec 06

I spent most of my twenties believing that purpose was something you found once and then held onto. A winning lottery ticket you kept in your wallet forever. The self-help industry reinforced this: find your passion. Discover your why. Land on the thing that makes you leap out of bed

There's something cruel in how our culture treats in-between times.

We have words for achievement
and words for burnout,

but we lack vocabulary for the necessary pauses that precede new growth.

If you say you're
"between projects," people assume you've been cast aside.

The idea that you might be in a natural winter,
that you might be dormant in a way that's preparatory rather than pathological,
doesn't compute for most people.

The right’s mental-health overdiagnosis bandwagon is rolling. Wes Streeting should not be on it | John Harris

theguardian.com · Dec 07

Thankfully, we now know more about conditions such as autism and ADHD. The health secretary must not be part of this attempt to turn back the clock, says Guardian columnist John Harris

"Why is our health secretary picking over the number of diagnoses, when he could be focusing on why our systems of work, education and care are still so closed off to the people who get them?"

The ever-excellent John Harris dissects the nasty "overdiagnosis" trope, currently promoted by Wes Streeting and our nightmare Labour government. His style is calm and balanced, but I can feel the underlying rage.

John Harris is a good man.

theguardian.com/commentisfree/. John Harris is absolutely right. The result of Wes Streeting's so-called "review" is a foregone conclusion, & WILL find that #mentalhealth conditions, #ADHD & #autism are over-diagnosed - because that is what the "review" is supposed to find, to "justify" the #Labour Government's #disability #benefit #cuts. The personnel selected to run it already believe that - as does Wes Streeting himself.
