I have a cart full of #food to eat but lack the $350 to buy it, I have a cart full of personal care, hygiene, and household supplies but lack the $200 to buy it, I have a cart full of clothing that I need but lack the $400 to buy it, not to mention the rest of what I need to deal with, it is sad really, that in one of the wealthiest times in human history and in one of the wealthiest nations on earth, that anyone would be struggling with #poverty and #disability, and do so with so very little support at all, it really is sad that I have to beg for help that I most certainly never actually receive in any capacity to actually resolve the gapping growing hole of needs;

This is not a request for luxury. This is a cry for dignity.

Also: I was thinking about how some folks get real bent out of shape about psychiatric diagnoses. Asking why we need labels, or saying, now it's our identity and that's a problem (or something). Or doubting the validity, because labels for things that they minimize means that modern medicine pathologizes everything.

A reminder:

It's called a mental disorder because it dis-orders our lives. Diagnoses validate us and tell us where and how we can help ourselves.

Ugh the other great part about my intake appointment, is when I mentioned I've self diagnosed #AuDHD based on the clinical questionnaires, they didn't question me at all. They basically said at this point, diagnosis doesn't mean so much especially when waitlists are so long (2 YEARS), so they/we can just focus on coping strategies and tools. 🥹

Also learned I might have OCD, so that's cool, and totally not surprising at all. 😅

Heal Minds Gaza: empowering Palestinian children who were in detention

Palestinian children in Israeli occupation prisons face severe psychological violence that deeply impacts their sense of safety, identity, and community after their detention. The Heal Minds Gaza initiative aims to address this issue through a mental health intervention for 80+ children who were detained in Israeli prisons. The program will support children’s healing through research-informed therapeutic activities focusing on emotional release, social integration, and life skills. By creating a safe space for expression and learning, the initiative will empower children to heal, rebuild their identity, and reintegrate into society.

The words we use matter. Labeling people can reinforce stigma and impede recovery. Let's focus on support and empathy.
