This country is the literal worst, and we haven't even hit rock bottom yet.

So, are we not paying federal taxes this year?

More protests?

Or just hoping that Congress finally does something?

I canNOT believe the progressives are having to explain the 2nd Amendment to a bunch of NRA, gun loving, murderers.

Has anyone tinted the windows of their vehicle to help with overstimulation from the sun? Has it helped?

It literally hurts my eyes and head. I wear dark sunglasses, but sometimes it's just not enough.

cPTSD and autism self-care needs almost constant self-care. Find little ways to take care of yourself. #cptsd #autism

A struggle with being a dog trainer and business owner when you have multiple chronic mental health and medical diagnosis, is that I try so hard to be there for my clients but then some days the body just doesn't let you. Today is one of those days. Sorry team SnW.

Let's be friends on Finch! Meet your emotional support companion to finally make daily self care fun! Take care of your pet by taking care of yourself!

I joined the Finch app and I am really enjoying it. Fun way to encourage self care. It's more fun with friends. #finch #selfcare

Ever have an hour break, so you sit down to "rest up" and you just made yourself even more tired? #overworked #cptsd #burnout

1st day back from a long weekend & already ready for a vacation. 😂😂😂😭😭😭🤪🤪🤪

Just read the behavior report for Phoenix's first visit with Dr Bohland at OSU Veterinary Behavioral Medicine department. Dated April 4th, 2022.

She has come so far thanks to amazing people that believe in science & kindness.

We are so very lucky to have an amazing tribe for our little family.

There are not enough carbs in the world to make this OK. #lgbt #cptsd

Anyone else use Schitt's Creek for brain bleaching before bed? #simplythebest #schittscreek #cptsd

Because I am an adult, god damnit!!To hell with A1c and HDLs.

Dog Trainer Friends: How are you dealing with clients you have found out are Trumpers?

I don't get them often, but it's enough.

I think I need to put something even more clear on my website about where I stand. Weed them out even more. But what?

Stressed baby Phoenix as we waited for her MRI and spine surgery. She has several herniated discs, mostly chronic & at least one acute herniated disc. She's now in surgery. She'll stay over night.

crisis, while dealing w/ a transportation stressor, & least we forget who our president is. Realizing no one you love is OK & beating yourself up b/c you're not good enough to fix.

We are not OK but we will be OK. Phe updates regularly tomorrow. #cptsd #lgbt #queer #trauma #trump

forcing the knowledge that I was not loved as a child to the front & feeling guilty that your inner child is grieving, your inner teen is angry AF, & your kind of healed adult is a wild trip. B/c you'll never be good enough to handle the stressful situation. Whatever choice you make will... (2/3)

cPTSD is being triggered by the fact you're in a healthy relationship, that acknowledges it's not perfect, but is true love. We're have a medical emergency w/ Phoenix. To watch my wife's strength & hopeful spirit through this... (1/2)

Old, married, lesbian convos. (Yes, we're texting from inside the house. She's downstairs sleep with Phoenix on the couch. I am in bed so that I have a half decent chance to sleep before tomorrow.)

Ugh... I'm running over. Rest of story on the other site.

Yes momma!

Anyone else's dog have to sniff everything like they're making sure you're not feeding them poison.

Try to get them to eat a carrot ONE time in. 2014 and they never trust you again.

Going through an upsetting or traumatic event, remaining absolutely calm throughout. Knowing exactly how to mitigate or even stop the event from continuing. Appearing to be "completely OK", only to have a complete panic attack when you get home to your safe space. #cptsd #ptsd #mentalhealth

Info-dumping when asked to introduce yourself to a group. Then apologize for "rambling". Then think about it a lot and what you should have said, instead of what you did say. #cptsd #ptsd #mentalhealth

Beating yourself up over dropping something and breaking it. OBVIOUSLY, you don't care about things. You don't deserve things. And no one will ever love you. #cptsd #ptsd #mentalhealth
