  5. I'm starting to be traumatized again, we'd been making progress in the last 11 months, various pills, SSRI and sleep aids. I had been able to talk about the origin of my PTSD but as we reach the anniversary, pills are not working, I'm having troubled sleep, throwing up when I wake, and generally sliding back into a bad place. (I'm OK, BTW)
    It's going to be fine in a month but I think the next 30 days could be rough.
    Going to speak to my head doctor next week about upping my dose. Originally he wanted me to double the dose, but I reminded him, we are seniors in an isolated location. Not the time for one of us to be unconscious if something requires my attention.

    My *meds* include my Vape, and I misplaced it. Switched to pipe, and broke it. I'm living on capsules until the vape is found. I really need to get back to sleeping all night

  10. I have come to the conclusion that considering I have no idea what I am going to eat as one my teeth/tooth is hurting and second I have really nothing to eat along with my precarious health which appears to be on some precipice of impending catastrophe, that I need a full time maid, a cook, a nurse, a driver ect, and of course I still need a home of my own, in other words this #disabled man existing in #poverty is at the crossroads of suffering struggling and completely collapsing, it would be of the most urgent benefit if society, community and humanity could find the bloody compassion to actually rise up and assist me today;

  11. Well this is rather anxiety inducing, I have to go have another kind of Xray done to try and find out what is making my tooth hurt, as at the moment there is no logical explanation for it to be hurting, the dentist was kind and very thorough, but more perplexed about what they did not find, so now I have to make another appointment at a specialist that has some better Xray tech with higher resolution, People I am tired, I am hungry I am in Freaking Pain, I really need your help right now to raise the money so I can take care of myself;

  12. CW: Massage

    Has anyone ever done craniosacral massage/therapy? I’m curious about it but don’t know anyone that’s actually done it.

    Healing from trauma isn’t the realm of Western medicine and I’m looking at more forms of somatic release, looking at the mind+body connection. Curious to hear anyone else’s experience.

    Bonus points if you’re in Indy and have a rec.

  14. Ok So I Have An Emergency Dental Appointment Today at 9:00am, I think my landlord is going to drive me, they have not been able to tell me how much it will cost, nor how many appointments I will need, I hope they can do it the same day I am already there, But they said I need to try and have some payment available, especially if I have to make another appointment I have to pay something, So I really need to Come Up with At the Least Right Now, $500 before Monday the 10th of August at 9:00am, your help would be much appreciated right now;

    The stress of what I am dealing with right now really has my #anxiety in overdrive, my stomach is rather upset, I really have not had much to eat in the past 3 or 4 days, my tooth is really bothering me, the fact I finally have an appointment set has not relived any pressure, as I have no idea how I am going to handle the monetary part of it, and I am hoping they actually do something for me before I have to worry about finding the money, anyways between my normal mountain of need now this emergency, I just can not catch my breath nor a rest, I really wish people could understand just how desperately I need their help to raise some very much needed money right now;

  17. I've been working on updating a decision making process in a #coop from #voting to #consensus inspired by #ietf #decisionMaking process when a colleague made me realize that consensus process is not compatible with many #neurodivergent cognitive styles. It disproportionately favors #Neurotypicals and extraverted ppl while putting more introverted and less verbal type people at a disadvantage. Also it's yet another "social capital" dominated decision making process. Less social capital - less likely you'll actually speak up against the crowd.

    The "no one left behind" goal is not fulfilled by the "no loud opposition" decision process. What process does that? We're staying with the simplistic voting for now but adding a prolonged debate. Any ideas? How other #cooperatives do that? Especially #anarchist ones?

  23. '“That’s not a good return on investment,” said Rep. Terry Stier, a Republican from Belle Plaine, where he is the police chief. “The fund is draining.”

    'Stier chairs a work group that’s trying to fix the system, which he contends is plagued by fraud, arguing that some officers claim they have PTSD just so they can retire early because they don’t like the job or are facing discipline or termination.

    'But state officials say it’s nearly impossible to deny disability coverage if a medical professional signs off on a PTSD claim.'

    Minnesota has spent millions trying to stem the tide of police PTSD retirements. It isn’t working.

    The trip to the #ER, my landlord and long time friend had to go to the doctor which happened to be at the hospital so I was able to rideshare with her, and I walked into the emergency department, it has been a long time since I have been in any medical setting, boy things have changed, first I had to fill out this tiny half sheet of who I am and what my issue is, then to my luck it was empty and a lite day, so the nurse triaged me fairly quickly, I was babbling on about my health as she asked questions doing my vitals, I am sure I sounded like a manic nut job, but then after about 5 mins she sat me in a tiny room to wait for the doctor who within 2 mins promptly walked into the room sat down, and quickly went over what the reason for my visit, again I am sure I sounded like a babbling manic nutjob, he was nice and listened and after 4 mins said ok we are going to give you some antibiotics, something to relive the pain and the swelling and asked if they could give me the first round while I was there, of course I said yes, he said ok stepped out, and in less than 2 mins another nurse came in with my meds, my discharge papers and already called in my prescriptions to walmart, and I was out, it took longer to physically get there than it took to be seen and sent out the door, then at walmart I had to have my friend collect my meds because since I never leave home, my id is expired and they would not accept my id to get my own meds, even though my id expired was still me I had my hospital discharge papers and a wrist band from the hospital identifying me, and I was paying using my walmart app connected to my phone attached to my cc to my name, anyways between the pain, and being out in public my anxiety was through the roof and I am pretty sure I looked and sounded like a manic babbling nutjob to everyone, we got home and I had a few things to tend to then I took a short nap, and around 7 last night I got back into bed and then got up around 5:30 am this morning, the rest of my normal if you can call it that pain is still with me, but my tooth is down to a dull pain, the antibiotics and the stuff for swelling is helping, but I only have about 7 days worth, so now I have to find a dentist to still address the root problem which happens to be the root of my tooth, I need a root cannel, and I have no idea how I am going to pay for the er visit that I am getting billed for and now a dentist and root cannel, I could really use all the help and support I can get right now;


    Part 2:

    So the pain from my tooth was so bad I had to go to the #Emergencyroom between that and the 7 days of meds I got that cost me or is somehow going to cost me $2200, that this #disabled man existing in #poverty simply does not have, not to mention I still need to find a way to afford to go to an actual #Dentist so I can get a #rootcanal and after spending time trying to find a dentist turns out that is going to cost me another $2000, I NEED HELP PEOPLE, PLEASE HELP ME NOW, I STILL NEED #FOOD TO EAT THIS MONTH, and Now I have a #Dentalemergency to contend with,


    Part 1:

    On top of my constant pain and exhaustion I have a Cavity on inside of my Left Maxillary Lateral Incisor, that has elected to become an excruciating pain, I have not slept at all in the past 24 hours, every time I begin to doze off, bone shattering pain radiates through the entire left side of my face, as a #disabled man existing solely in #poverty and without access to any #transit or #medical care, I tried over the night to do the whole clove oil bit, after using enough to cook a Christmas ham and downing 3000mg of Tylenol, there is no relief in sight, I beg for help to get through each day and I seldomly receive enough for the extreme basics, my #health is in decline and I am in no way able to care for myself in that regard in any capacity, I am currently in enough pain to cripple a horse, and there is simply nothing I can do about it, #disability is hard enough when you have no support system but add #poverty #agging and #health issues and your pretty much in an eternal world of hell;


    🛒 Today’s goal: **$5000** for a Dental Emergency and for the food I still need to obtain for this month, I have a cart full but can’t place the order.

    A prescription form of THC helped many people with PTSD escape recurring trauma-related nightmares, with more than one-third reporting that the nightmares disappeared completely after ten weeks. The results could point toward a long-awaited treatment for one of PTSD’s most distressing and stubborn symptoms.

  32. CW: I may have finally learned my lesson about procrastinating on fundraising, so we need to crowdfund the remaining August rent #HousingRequest #MutualAidRequest ($990/$1210 <=== now more than halfway!!)

    UPDATE: We're two days from deadline, and we're getting very close to making goal, along with the anxiety-ridden executive paralysis. I would love it if we could get it covered by tomorrow so that if anything goes wrong with the second attempt at an emissions test on the car, I can have something *good* with which to distract myself.

    I must admit sadly the current total isn't completely accurate because I had to use some of the funds to pay for the emissions test, gas to drive the car far enough for the emissions test to actually work (hopefully this time!!🤞) and food. I *think* my pay advance tomorrow will be enough to make up for the borrowed funds.

    I am incredibly grateful to all of our Fedi friends who've pitched in. I'm thrilled that we've had a few more smaller donations than usual, because that eases the burden on the handful of insanely generous people who have shouldered the bulk of our needs!

    I'm telling you folks, #MutualAid is literally the only reason my partner, our border collie and I are clothed, fed, and sheltered. I am not kidding when I say that it saves lives.

    Gotta drive to work. Cross your fingers that I get there and back without being pulled over or the check engine light popping on!

    ============================================

    Hi everyone,

    For those of you who haven't followed my soap opera-like existence here on the Fediwebs, my partner, our co-dependent border collie and I have unfortunately had to rely on the community here to survive, thanks to our chronic mental health challenges.

    I've also made several expensive financial mistakes lately trying to prioritize which of our ongoing monetary crises; the most simple of which is I felt embarrassed fundraising non-stop and procrastinated too long, costing us steep, unnecessary fees.

    The total amount of the aforementioned fees was a bit of a slap in the face that seems to have finally gotten through my thick head.

    So.. we owe $1210 at the time of this writing which is due by August 14th and instead of waiting until the last moment, for once I am being proactive and starting this right away.

    My sincere apologies that we've had to constantly begpost lately.

    My plan is to try and raise this as soon as possible and then move immediately to working on September's total and have that in place *before* the end of the month.

    By that point, we're hoping and praying that my partner will have new employment by then that doesn't constantly trigger his PTSD, and/or I find a second job.. or potentially go back to school. Or something. (Onlyfans maybe? lol) Because things are clearly not fucking working as they are currently.

    I know many (most) of you are understandably sick and tired of seeing our begposts. My friends, please don't give up on us yet. I swear we're trying our best, meager as those efforts may be.

    If you're willing AND able, please boost and if possible donate. If you can't donate, *do NOT feel guilty* for being in the same boat as us. Your feelings about it are valid but rest assured you needn't feel bad.

    Seriously, folks. Both me and my partner are in tears with relief. 🙏🙏

    This week just keeps getting better and better!

    So here's the latest from our housing fiasco: As my partner mentions in the post below,

    beige.party/@g1m01982/11704032

    we've got to pay $800 towards our balance in the next four hours, and then the remaining balance by the 14th. ***If we don't, we lose this apartment per the lease agreement.*** I did not realize we had already progressed so far in the process already.

    Everything we've scraped together puts us at $580, so we need another $220 to make it.

    We really don't want to lose this place. We have adored it here. Halp.

    Folks, I've made a series of very poor judgement calls in this (as usual) and am in some deep shit today. Any help we can get is urgently and deeply appreciated. 🙏

    If you're willing AND able, please boost and if possible donate. If you can't donate, *do NOT feel guilty* for being in the same boat as us. Your feelings about it are valid but rest assured you needn't feel bad.

  36. People who have experienced trauma often suffer from haunting nightmares. But a new #CharitéBerlin study published in Nature Medicine offers hope for patients with #PTSD: drops containing THC—an active compound in #cannabis—helped more than half of the study participants, and over a third reported a complete disappearance of nightmares.

'Platner’s candidacy ultimately became a test of how much baggage a candidate can carry, and keep insisting he’s worked through, before it becomes disqualifying...In a country stubbornly attached to myths about the military’s positive transformative power, Platner presented a stark counterfactual. Still, how much of his behavior should be read through the lens of what combat did to him, and how much of it is simply who he is, independent of war?'

    I'm a painfully neurodivergent and chronically unemployed pan nb, a father to twins, and trying to get on my feet. Today I'm trying to gather up about $30 for some supplements that help with my major depression disorder and anxiety.

    I'm on hard times and haven't been able to secure a job in many months, and have gotten by on the charity of family and the kindness of others, but have little for myself. I post here because I appreciate the Mastodon community.

    I'll forever remember and be thankful if you are willing to lend me your support. I also take gameplay requests (at no cost). Every penny goes directly toward surviving. My handles are below. Pic is my dog, Biscuit. Thank you for hearing me out.

  40. CW: 🚨 I must also reluctantly make a #Housing #MutualAidRequest ($200/$1650)

    FOURTH UPDATE: What the hell? I thought I updated this already. Must have hallucinated it. Anyway, we have received enough to get our account back into the positive, but we only have six hours until we're past due on rent and.. I'm afraid this is all still going to blow up in my face.

    THIRD UPDATE: I should've just junked the car. Now we're royally fucked on rent (it's going to cost us $350+ in fees when we fail to pay in the next twelve hours) on top of our already $200 in the red balance thanks to overdraft fees because I'm a fucking moron.

    SECOND UPDATE (for clarification):

    **YES! We are still fundraising.** My apologies for the rambling, confusing nature of this post.

    UPDATE (already lol):

    My partner insists that it might be insulting to the person who lent us money, to directly fundraise on their behalf because they told my partner to keep it when they sent it. I'm not sure I entirely agree with my partner about this, but I'm deferring to his judgement and closing the prior fundraiser.

    So to the incredibly kind soul who sent us that money, I will do as you ask, but on the proviso that you *MUST* let me if you encounter the slightest problem because of this, so that we can rally the Fediverse to come to your aid. I do *not* want to see others suffering because of my foolishness.

    Thank you to that person, and every other person who has helped us. We couldn't make it without you. ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

    I apologize for having to do this so many times and for such huge amounts. I swear I'm trying my damnedest to not let everyone down.

    If you're willing AND able, please boost and if possible donate. If you can't donate, *do NOT feel guilty* for being in the same boat as us. Your feelings about it are valid but rest assured you needn't feel bad.
