Die Bundesregierung plant ernsthaft, psychisch erkrankte Menschen zu Sonderkontrollen ins Jobcenter zu zwingen, um zu prüfen, ob sie "wirklich" krank sind. Das ist kein Sozialstaat.⬇️

ADHS ist, das Gute mit dem Nützlichen verbinden. Hier: einkaufen und frühstücken beim Bäcker.
Zuvor müssen aber noch acht wichtige Dinge angefangen werden. Bedeutet, dass aus dem Frühstück ein Abendessen wird. Mit etwas Glück.

Checkout my podcast tonight on my YouTube Channel!! We livestream at 12am EST! "I Can't Make This S%!+ Up!" is about harm reduction, addiction & recovery, my personal story, and my experience being a prison wife. If any of those things you can relate to then check it out! I have a special guest on tonight so it should be a great show!

CW: Mental health issues, symptoms/discussion of C-PTSD
I have #cptsd. I was formally diagnosed around 2008.
I had thought that PTSD was something only survivors of combat, insurrection, widescale famine etc had.
Common misconception.
"PTSD" also gets thrown around too casually now..it's not just a bad memory, or something you found briefly traumatic or difficult.
It's all this, and more.
The "C" is for complex- which is the result of exposure to prolonged trauma.

*My social justice activist friend, Crystal, was interviewed for this article.*
As the City of Victoria conducts what outreach workers say are deadly sweeps of Pandora Avenue, those who facilitate unhoused individuals into addiction rehabilitation centres say there’s not enough spaces to meet the needs of those who are left on the capital city’s streets.
“What I’m faced with is, where am I sending them?” said Theresa Reeve, executive director of the relatively new non-profit Westcoast Recovery Outreach.
Reeve says private treatment centres only take a select number of government-funded clients, leaving empty beds open for higher paying private clients.
“I could fill up their treatment centre if they would allow me,” said Reeve. “But they only let a few government-funded beds. We need to increase those government funded beds. These people deserve a chance just like everybody else.”
“People having to wait anywhere from two weeks to three months waiting to get into a detox bed is not acceptable. We need a better system now. We just had an election about. Where are all the beds they promised they were going to build?”
The Minister of Health told CHEK News in a statement that her government is adding new services without specifics.

Mental Health Matters. Every day, all day. Stop and check in with yourself. Take time to connect with your surroundings and experience your senses.
I am terrible about doing so. But I know just how powerful it is to really be present. To put my phone down, put my AirPods away, and just listen, touch, smell, and enjoy the outdoors or somewhere peaceful.
Take care of yourselves. YOU matter.

I don't think an image has so accurately represented how I feel as much as this one does.
It is both a powerful and incredible image, while being equally horrifying for my state of life.

Two months after DEF CON, I got exactly the hair I needed. Why needed? I’ve discovered just how important it is to truly LOOK like myself. When I look in the mirror and see this person, I feel whole, I feel happy, I feel my greatest self love.
How I look to myself is important for my mental health. Seeing the most genuine me, is critical for my well being.

In #VictoriaBC - you get in trouble from bylaw officers if you cook/feed the poor & houseless folks in Summer. You don't get in much trouble & usually left alone in cold, freezing weather in Winter because bylaw officers won't patrol much when conditions are miserable out. I learned that from past lived experiences when trying to cook outside to feed #hungry & #houseless folks.
I wouldn't feel the need to keep trying to feed people here if our governments, & our society as a whole, didn't treat houseless folks like they're not human & not deserving of kindness, compassion & understanding. Some of us citizens have got in trouble for trying to feed people - when the people trying to punish people like me aren't doing much to help feed & house the folks who need to be fed & housed the most.
I'm not a criminal. The heartless governments & ignorant people who #stigmatize hungry, houseless folks, while doing shit all to help out, are the real criminals in our society.
I will ALWAYS try to feed the hungry, without judgements. I hope more people will also go out to feed the hungry, without judgements. We - the grassroots citizens, who care - are local humanity in action. We need to keep trying to help folks in our own communities, as much as we can. We need to keep resisting the fascists who try to destroy our efforts.
Cruel fascists are no benefit to any community. Whether they're elected officials or not. The houseless are part of all of our communities. They don't deserve to be ignored & treated like lesser than humans.

"Complications of #CharcotFoot:
As your bones get weaker, they can break and move out of place. When that happens:
Your foot may lose its shape. The arch in the middle of your foot may drop until the bones are lower than your heel or toes. Doctors sometimes call this “rocker bottom.”
Your toes may curl.
Your ankle might become twisted and unsteady.
Bones may press against your shoes"
