#USA #Swimming #therapy #dog retires, named honorary member of the team
 The #swimmers requested #TherapyDogs to minimize their #anxiety at the #Olympics.  “So many people find animals as a calming essence,” said Emily Klueh, manager of #MentalHealth & #emotional #wellness for USA Swimming. “athletes are looking for … environments where they can get away from the hype, [where] they can calm their nervous systems down.”

#introduction

I'm Charli! I'm a bisexual trans girl on a quest to improve my mental health, find more of my authentic self, make new community connections, and maybe get a bit closer to happiness as I go.

I live in Oregon's Portland metro. I love punk rock and 80s new wave music. I'm almost knowledgeable enough with Linux to be annoying. And I can hyperfixate over old shorthand textbooks like you wouldn't believe.

I struggle with anxiety, depression, sensory processing, depersonalization, and the typical difficulties of navigating life while being neurodivegent. I believe talking about mental health shouldn't be stigmatized.

Updated! We're struggling again. #MutualAidRequest

EDIT: We now have enough to make tomorrow's motel payment. Yay! We could still really use some help with food until we can get to a food pantry later this week. But we're at least safe and housed for another night thanks to the love and generosity of our friends here. You all are amazing. Thank you.

We've been eating pretty skimpily the past few days, unfortunately including the puppy. I had to buy some canned dog food for him yesterday because he was starving, but it upset his tummy and he threw up more than a full can last night. (Yes, I know adjusting their diet suddenly is bad. It was the best I could do with what was going to be my lunch money at work yesterday).

We managed to scrape enough to pay tonight's motel stay and order my partner's medicinal cannabis for his #PTSD. He's been off it for days and chronically throwing up from his #anxiety. I'm out of mine and nearly walked off my job yesterday because I'm struggling so badly to try and keep it together.

I'm off today which means we have nothing for tomorrow's motel bill and of course only scheduled half a shift tomorrow which puts us short for Thursday's.

Payday (of what little is left that it wouldn't let me advance) is Friday which should tide us over for at least a day or two but it's going to be really rough until then.

We need #MutualAid help with tommorow's motel charges, a bag of the puppy's (proper) dog food, and some human food. I could desperately use my medicinal cannabis but if I can't, I suppose it is what it is.

Y'all know the drill. Forgive me once again, but if anyone is willing AND able to help (please do not place yourself in hardship for us -- you've got to put your own oxygen mask on first) we would be grateful.

I'm sorry everyone. I swear I'm trying. (This is also me trying as hard as I can to not be self-deprecating, please clap)

#StreetArt #anxiety #StreetPhotography

A small sculpture resembling a toy "Lego man" stands on a sidewalk pavement against a section of brick wall. The facial expression of the figure is one of fear, consternation perhaps. Their shirt is hand painted with the phrase, "I came I saw I had anxiety and left"

a journal with the prompt "Describe time you pretended when when you weren't"

Sometimes when I say "I'm okay", I want someone to look me in the eyes, hug me tight, and say, "I know you're not."
