My situation has just drastically changed. You do NOT need a #Cohost account to read this post.
TL;DR: My father is now at risk of losing his job, which means my parents are going to keep me in this house to take my money. My mother continues to try to scare me out of moving out. I have nowhere to go. I need guidance. Please help me.
#Psychoactive drug is the only known treatment that heals traumatic brain injuries
Story by Andrei Ionescu

"In a groundbreaking study, Stanford researchers have discovered a potential treatment for the invisible wounds of war, particularly traumatic brain injuries (#TBIs) that often lead to post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, #depression, and #suicide among military #veterans.
"Published in the journal Nature Medicine, the study reveals that the plant-based psychoactive drug ibogaine, in combination with #magnesium, can significantly reduce symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression, and improve functioning in veterans with traumatic brain injury."
I made a bad vlog about why there are so few of us older transgender people
But I left out that way back then pretty much no one cared if you were transgender. Oh, you're a girl now? Cool, wanna grab a beer??? That was the common reaction
Oh, there were h8 crimes, but there were always h8 crimes. Hence my #ptsd
Today in Labor History January 5, 1919: Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg launched the Spartacist Uprising in Berlin. Part of the post-WWI Revolution occurring throughout Germany, the Spartacist uprising was essentially a power struggle between the Spartacists and other Council Communists (left-wing, anti-authoritarian communists) against the Social Democrats. 500,000 workers participated in the General Strike they called for January 7 to replace the moderate Social Democratic government with a communist one. Many of the workers obtained arms. They tried, but failed, to get the support of the Navy, which remained neutral in the conflict. However, the Social Democrats got the anti-Communist Freikorps paramilitary to fight for their side. The Freikorps had weapons and military equipment leftover from WWI and were able to quash the uprising within a week. The Freikorps was comprised of WWI vets, many of whom were suffering from PTSD. Many went on to became Nazis. Up to 200 people died in the fighting, including 17 Freikorps soldiers. The Social Democrats captured, beat and executed Liebknecht and Luxemburg.

@Caiotekit the #fireworks bother my #cats and folks with #PTSD, so I'd be happy without the noise, but the 15 minutes of display is so cheap, almost any town or city can do it for under $100,000..
Decades of research has shown that the everyday burden of these race-related threats, slights and exclusions in day-to-day life translates into a real increase in disease risk.
Due to my mental issues, I'm really interested in trying mushrooms as a treatment. #Insomnia#Anxiety#Depression#PTSD
All that crap.
I last asked my doctor if it was right for me like five years ago and he said if it were legal, he'd consider it.
I should probably ask again because I gotten about as much relief as mindfulness is going to bring me and I'm still not doing great.
For me, it was deleting Twitter and giving up thousands of followers, many had become friends over the years. I tried to get them to jump over here but very few did. I've also really cut back on the Meta crap too. But almost all animal welfare and musicians I love are only on the meta properties
My mental health did get better, even tho I'm still a #ptsd mess

Disabled people are treated like our bodies, our stories, are public property - especially so for those of us who are Aboriginal, who are Black, or People of Colour, who are trans or queer, or read as women.
Consider that if someone with a disability is posting their mutual aid links, either give/share/support or just move on.
Don't message us asking why we're disabled or why we're not on disability support pensions - that's nunya. NUNYA.
Ah, would you look at that, after a few days of respite following Halloween, the bellends with fireworks are back to scare the living shit out of pets like our puppy, folks with PTSD, etc.
PS. Wanna hear a joke? Fireworks are illegal in Ireland.
"Positing that the idea of an innate core gender identity is simplistic, problematic, and, even, potentially harmful to LGBTQ+ people, they instead argue that gender is something all subjects acquire. Trauma, they provocatively propose, sometimes has a share in that acquisition."
"In their way of thinking, lived trauma as well as structural and intergenerationally transmitted traumatic debris may become a resource for transness and queerness. Such a suggestion importantly counters conservative accounts that identify trauma as disrupting or “warping” some putatively “normal” gender."
