Melancholic Mediocrity :v_bi:<p>UPDATE: Good morning, everyone. Here's a breakdown of our progress so far, thanks to everyone's incredible generosity:</p><p>Storage unit: Paid. Our possessions are safe.<br>Phone: Paid. My partner can now still reach me if urgent.<br>Motel room: Tonight and tomorrow paid.<br>Groceries: We have a modest amount on hand (which is a huge improvement)</p><p>We've accomplished all of our original goals with this fundraiser and then some, but now I must humbly ask everyone to rally with us to get our car insurance reinstated.</p><p>I realize that doesn't sound as urgent as everything else but it makes me incredibly nervous. It's the biggest hurdle we have right now, it keeps us even more isolated than our usual hermit lifestyle and is probably exacerbating our various mental ills.</p><p>Plus there seems to be a slight bump in hours at work which might help us stay current if we can just get this huge initial payment out of the way. It's obscene that we're paying almost 50% more because of my credit history, but it's still the cheapest policy around so what choice do I have?</p><p>Therefore I've reset the goal and included what was left from the original. I'm sorry this is such a big ask but it would mean the world to me if we can meet it. (UPDATE: Only $100 remaining!!)</p><p>Tldr; I need the community's help getting our car insurance reinstated. It would bring us huge peace of mind and -- barring any unforeseen disasters -- might be slightly more likely for us to keep current thanks to (cautious) optimism about our situation.</p><p>----------------------------------------------</p><p>Hi everyone.</p><p>It's once again time for me to plead with the Fediverse for <a href="https://beige.party/tags/MutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MutualAid</span></a>. I'm reaching the end of my rope trying to keep up with everything. We've been even more isolated than usual due to having no car insurance which isn't helping our <a href="https://beige.party/tags/MentalIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MentalIllness</span></a> (es). I'm still being scheduled lower hours at work -- just enough to rob me of any spoons for anything besides work, but not quite enough to actually survive.</p><p>Our storage unit with all our possessions is past due and in danger. We're almost out of groceries. My phone service just got cut off which makes my vulnerable partner nervous in case there's an emergency. My shift at work tonight won't be quite enough to cover tomorrow's room payment. And I'm apparently going to need to just pop ibuprofen like candy indefinitely for this broken molar.</p><p>One small spot of good news: My partner has been incredibly brave having run out of edibles for his <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PTSD</span></a>. He's been out for nearly a week now which in the past would be unthinkable, his anxiety would become so severe he'd vomit until he was dehydrated after only a couple of days.</p><p>I swear I'm trying, everyone.. I really want to just give up but I'm trying my best despite this stupid fucking <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BPD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BPD</span></a> and <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a>-addled brain of mine. (I really wish I could get the hang of dissociation.)</p><p>Anyway.. to get us back to not feeling like we're totally drowning would require closer to $800, but I realize that's outrageously excessive, so instead my goal is to at least get our storage unit current and my phone service back up which sadly is also still excessive.</p><p>Please forgive me for the thousandth time, but if anyone is willing AND able to help us please donate to any of the links below. </p><p>If you AREN'T able to contribute, I beg you please DO NOT feel guilty or ashamed. Obviously I couldn't help you any more than you can help me, if our situations were reversed; so if all you can offer is a boost then boost away with a clear conscience because sometimes <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Solidarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Solidarity</span></a> is literally the best folks like us can do right now.</p><p>Venmo: <a href="https://venmo.com/thegizmotwins" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">venmo.com/thegizmotwins</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br>Cashapp: <a href="https://cash.app/$thegizmotwins" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">cash.app/$thegizmotwins</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br>PP: penguinpower8182@gmail.com<br>GFM: <a href="https://gofund.me/12171be3" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">gofund.me/12171be3</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

Emma and Emily 🏳️‍⚧️<p>Came down with a bug last week and only started to feel human yesterday, so I thought a run would help shift the last of it. Did my longest run so far, I literally ran until my legs turned to jelly and I went dizzy. I ended up lay on the floor trying to overcome a panic attack as I couldn’t breathe or see properly but despite that a coastal run blew away the cobwebs and made me feel like I had achieved something. <br>It was a quiet run and there was hardly anyone about, which is very much my kind of run. Pushing myself and getting out of my comfort zone is getting out there for a run or hike but right now it has to be somewhere quiet with very few people about as groups of strangers still sends my mental health spiralling and causes my PTSD to go worse and also triggers more flashbacks than I usually deal with, so it’s too much for me right now. I’m great with groups of people I know and feel safe with I’m just not there yet to push myself further but I will get there. Planning ahead really helps but I still can’t plan for everything and some things slip through the cracks. This time it was becoming dehydrated as I don’t have a running vest to carry fluids while I run yet. This is something I’m going to have to move up my priority list if I want to do another long run, so I will get saving for one. <br>Proud of myself for continuing to push my boundaries by trying somewhere new to run and giving it everything I had in the tank. My body and mind will get stronger and I know it is going to be a long journey. I am working very hard on accepting that recovery is going to take time but as long as I keep trying I will eventually get there. <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/mentalhealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mentalhealth</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/mentalhealthrecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mentalhealthrecovery</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/mentalhealthawareness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mentalhealthawareness</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/ptsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ptsd</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/ptsdrecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ptsdrecovery</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/complextrauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>complextrauma</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>running</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/runningmotivation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>runningmotivation</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/coastalrun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coastalrun</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/runningrecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>runningrecovery</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/freshair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freshair</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/pushyourlimits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pushyourlimits</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/keepgoing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>keepgoing</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/tryingmybest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tryingmybest</span></a></p>

Emma and Emily 🏳️‍⚧️<p>73 days smoke free!!! Just had to share because I haven’t checked this app for a little bit and I was blown away by how far I have come 💪🏼. I would say half of the days are easy and half are really difficult and I still use nicotine mints and gum the amount depends on the day but on the whole it’s getting less. I am still shocked that I’m managing to stick with this and I’m truly proud of myself. Also I’m loving that I can say I haven’t smoked this year 🥰 and as the days are ticking along being able to say this means more. <br>Stopping smoking is just one of many things that I’m either already doing or intending to do and every goal is something to make my body or mind healthier and stronger. I know that these objectives are contributing to me getting to become the person I want to be. Every piece of the puzzle matters and in the short term will help to get me through intensive trauma therapy and in the long term who knows, it’s actually not something I’ve thought about yet. I’m naturally an impatient person so that is also something I’m working hard on by trusting the choices I’m making and having faith in the path I’m walking and that at the very least my mental health will improve so that I can be a stronger more independent woman. <br>I want to thank everyone that has been following me on my journey to stronger mental health and huge thank you for you love, beautiful messages and support. <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/mentalhealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mentalhealth</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/mentalhealthawareness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mentalhealthawareness</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/mentalhealthrecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mentalhealthrecovery</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/ptsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ptsd</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/ptsdrecoveryjourney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ptsdrecoveryjourney</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/complextrauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>complextrauma</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/complextraumarecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>complextraumarecovery</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/trusttheprocess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trusttheprocess</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/positivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>positivity</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/strength" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strength</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/love" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>love</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/betterhealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>betterhealth</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/patience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>patience</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/healthybodyhealthymind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>healthybodyhealthymind</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/journey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>journey</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/stopsmoking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stopsmoking</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/stopsmokingstartliving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stopsmokingstartliving</span></a></p>
Emma and Emily 🏳️‍⚧️<p>After a week of not running I got myself back out there. Super proud of myself because it’s taken me days to push myself back out the door. <br>I struggle massively to get out and exercise I have to have loads of things in place and it’s a whole thing just to force myself outside. The promise I made to myself that I will push myself this year to improve my mental health is thankfully still the loudest voice. The self doubt, anxiety, darkness and trauma are still extremely loud and I battle with poor mental health constantly but the important thing is that I’m still fighting, fighting for myself. None of this is easy at times it feels impossible but I don’t allow myself to give up on myself. If you are struggling with your mental health remember you are worth fighting for and fight for yourself, just a little win makes all the difference. You’ve got this and you are so worth it, keep going and keep fighting for you 💪🏼🏃🏽‍♀️👌🏼. <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/mentalhealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mentalhealth</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/mentalhealthmatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mentalhealthmatters</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/mentalhealthawareness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mentalhealthawareness</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/mentalhealthrecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mentalhealthrecovery</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/ptsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ptsd</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/ptsdrecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ptsdrecovery</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/ptsdrecoveryjourney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ptsdrecoveryjourney</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/complextrauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>complextrauma</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>running</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/runningmotivation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>runningmotivation</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/thisgirlcan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thisgirlcan</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/thisgirlcanrun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thisgirlcanrun</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/positivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>positivity</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/keepgoing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>keepgoing</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/youareworthit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>youareworthit</span></a>❤️ <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/youmatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>youmatter</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/fightforyou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fightforyou</span></a></p>
MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 5, 1871: Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919) was born in Zamosc, Poland. Together with Karl Liebknecht, she helped found the radical Spartacus League in 1916. The Spartacists and other leftwing Council Communists launched an uprising to replace the 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. Many of the ultranationalist Freikorps members were suffering from PTSD from WWI. Many went onto to become members of the Nazi Party and served in the SS. The Freikorps had weapons and military equipment leftover from WWI and were able to quash the uprising within a week. Up to 200 people died in the fighting, including 17 Freikorps soldiers. The Social Democrats captured, beat and executed Liebknecht and Luxemburg.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RosaLuxemburg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RosaLuxemburg</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/spartacist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spartacist</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/communism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>communism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nazis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/uprising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uprising</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ptsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ptsd</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/execution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>execution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/socialdemocrat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>socialdemocrat</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/germany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>germany</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poland</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a></p>

Emma and Emily 🏳️‍⚧️<p>As I am still a non smoker I’ve decided to use some of the money saved on myself. It’s so easy to let the “extra” money get eaten up by bills etc because let’s be honest when you are on a tight budget there are always essentials to spend our money on, especially with rising prices. <br>When I smoked I used rolling tobacco and smoked very little so my “extra” isn’t loads but it’s still more. I’ve thought a lot about what I can do for myself and I’ve chosen something fairly simple. I need to drink way more water than I do and as I’m not far off 46 I need to start looking after my body more before menopause hits. I’m aware that when menopause does hit my hair, skin, nails and joints will be affected so I’m going to try a daily dose of collagen to see if I notice a difference. I also barely eat fruit as I’m not too keen on it so I’m also going to add some frozen berries to my water, that I will eat once I’m done with my water. <br>I am noticing that the big boost in exercise whilst great for my mental health, those natural hormone boosts that come with exercise are super helpful for someone like me with awful mental health but no medications have worked for me so I’m reliant on exercise and also I’m now looking at diet and supplements to also possibly help, my body is struggling to keep up and recover. <br>I’m hoping by starting to make little changes to my diet and other things that my recovery will start to improve and my body will start to keep up. If nothing else I’m getting much needed water into my body. I will update when I notice a difference. <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/mentalwellbeing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mentalwellbeing</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/mentalhealthawareness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mentalhealthawareness</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/mentalhealthmatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mentalhealthmatters</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/mentalhealthrecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mentalhealthrecovery</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/ptsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ptsd</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/ptsdrecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ptsdrecovery</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/exercise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exercise</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/activelifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>activelifestyle</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>healthcare</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/stopsmoking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stopsmoking</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/stopsmokingstartliving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stopsmokingstartliving</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/fruit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fruit</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>water</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/collagen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>collagen</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/takecareofyourmentalhealt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>takecareofyourmentalhealt</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/littlechanges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>littlechanges</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/littlechangesbigresults" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>littlechangesbigresults</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/takecareofyourself" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>takecareofyourself</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/takecareofyourtemple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>takecareofyourtemple</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/takecareofyourmachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>takecareofyourmachine</span></a></p>

Mx. Luna Corbden<p>OTSD - Ongoing Traumatic Stress Disorder</p><p>PTSD treatment in our culture assumes trauma is in the past. "Post" is doing a lot of denial here. There is no clear triage program for assessing CURRENT chronic stress and abuse factors.</p><p>In my experience, there is NO HEALING from PTSD when considering only the past. If your body is constantly flooded with stress hormones and ever in sympathetic nervous state from real, actual, existing pressures and traumas, it is impossible to heal, no matter how many therapy sessions, SSRIs, learning CBT thinking habits, EMDR, hospitalizations, or horse therapy. (Yes, I have done all these things. They were bandaids.)</p><p>OTSD is not all in your head. Your panic attacks are SOMETIMES just a trigger reaction to demons of the past. But more often, in my experience, they are REASONABLE reactions to current, actively ongoing trauma.</p><p>Removing these stressors isn't just personally very difficult. I recently made some very hard sacrifices to get myself into a much healthier situation. For many, it's impossible, no matter how many sacrifices they're willing to make.</p><p>Our society is getting increasingly hostile to emotional healthiness, reducing the options we have on a personal level to get ourselves out of abusive relationships, toxic workplaces, and economic stress.</p><p>I hardly blame therapists because it's not like THEY can individually fix systemic traumas.</p><p>But the therapeutic community needs to acknowledge the water they carry for what I call Abuse Culture. Unresolved corporate, religious, and systemic abuses are sucking all our energies like a giant emotional vampire above all of us.</p><p>The goal of helping professions has been just getting people back to productivity for the vampires, whatever it takes — meds, mindfulness, focus on childhood, endless coping mechanisms — no real fixes, just learning to cope rather than making the changes to our personal lives AND SOCIETY that are necessary for healthy minds.</p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AbuseCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbuseCulture</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/PTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PTSD</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MentalHealth</span></a></p>
