Finally feel like our system is back in some balance. Symptoms and pain are still there. But our appetite and being able to lose weight have returned. Now, continue to set boundaries and protect your well being as best you can. How's your part of the world?

A long day of fighting symptoms and exhaustion. Finally we'll be able to pick up two heart meds to hopefully help with weight gain and other problems. Is it something else? At this point, we don't think so. Screen everything because weird triggering stuff is everywhere. On bad days at times you feel like you're going to snap in two. But you have to fight back to try and keep some sense of being grounded. What choice do you have?

Because you have to. That's why. Protect yourself.

Trying to get an earlier cardiologist appointment because of problems with my appetite and lower endurance. Walking a couple of hundred yards is taxing. Not luck yet. Don't take on the pain of the world in addition to your pain. Don't dissociate. That will just make pain. Salt and sugar relapses will make it worse as well. Protect yourself.

The government shutdown has stopped for three weeks. Supposedly "new negotiations " will happen in the meantime to have new border security policies. If this doesn't work, then it's back to the fifth shutdown while Trump's in office. Does this happen in your part of the world? Don't dissociate. Don't let your guard down. The danger is always there. Protect yourself.

A long day of fighting symptoms and a lower appetite. Sometimes chest pain happens and you try to not fall apart. Is my body just falling apart from fighting every single day? Not sure. But what choice do you have? Don't dissociate. Don't fall apart and have no idea of where you are. This will just make your pain even worse. Protect yourself.

Day 34 of the shutdown, and no end in sight. Protect yourself as best you can. We know we're following the right things. But your symptoms and pain are always there. Still trying to reach my cardiologist. He wanted me to stop two of my heart meds. But it feels like that's making my heart functioning rate lower and harder to eat small meals and drink small amounts of liquid. We'll keep trying. It's not your fault.

Day 33 of the government shutdown. How long will it continue? As long as the two main political parties can score political points out of it? Symptoms and pain never go away. Our appetite has gone down some more. Also, our tolerance for salt. But you do the best you can to try and cope. Protect yourself.

Day 32 of the government shutdown. The list of damage that this is casing continues to grow: Not being able to pay rent or mortgages Not being able to buy food Having to go to food banks who are struggling under an enormous demand to try and help people Not being able to pay co pays and deductables for necessary medication and medical treatment People possible dying from not being able to get treatment This is literally killing innocent people. But the politicians are acting like we don't care. Anything to get what we want. Symptoms and pain never go away. But we know that we're following the right things to protect ourselves. Thanks for the support. Pass our URL onto anyone that you think it might help.

Just like your symptoms never go away, the government shutdown is the same? 1 month now and so there's no point in trying anymore? Instead, run for President? Very strange. Protect yourself as best you can.

Finally a break from nightmares. But the exhaustion never stops. Don't have a relapse and not know where you are. It's like the full reality of how terrifying your trauma history was and continues to be hits you now. Because the pain never goes away. The government shutdown has hit one month. Despite the constant "behind the scenes negotiating continues" soundbites, is it really? Why then would people constantly be leaving Washington? For many, running for President is way more important than saving the country and people's lives. Protect yourself.

Almost one month now and no end to the government shutdown. Trump went on TV and said he had a "major compromise". Total lie. Now innocent people will continue to not get paid, lose their homes, not be able to get life saving medicine or operations. Or they might die. The Republicans (also called racist neocons) think this is okay. You were stupid enough to take a government job? Shut up and deal with it. You lose everything (including possibly your life)? Fuck off. We fight symptoms and do our best to protect ourselves. It's not your fault. Does this happen in your part of the world?

Tomorrow, Trump will make an "important national announcement" at 3 pm EST. Will this be a "national emergency"? Will he officially become a dictator? Not sure. But the government shutdown continues at almost one month. Protect yourself as best you can. Will millions finally riot in the streets? How come a government shutdown isn't a serious crime? Because that's how "The Real World" works? Stay safe.

Almost no sleep at night and more nightmares. Suddenly you open your eyes and you feel horribly empty. But you have to fight back. You can't just sit back and do nothing. Don't dissociate. Don't relapse. Don't fall apart. It's not your fault. Protect yourself.

A really long day of fighting symptoms and exhaustion. Don't dissociate. Don't let your guard down. the longer you go without doing that, the more debilitating your symptoms are. But you have to. You have no other choice. More people continue to be hurt here by the government shutdown. 26 days now, and the total cost is staggering. At least one person has died, and possibly more. Because the government won't let you get paid for your work, you can't afford medicine that will keep you alive. Instead, corporate media loves to hype how many politicians are running in 2020. So far, 31. Trump versus 30 Democrats. Why are these people's priorities so fucked up? I don't know. Protect yourself.

A long day of fighting symptoms. Constant exhaustion and don't relapse. My life has value. I won't throw it away. I did nothing wrong. Protect yourself.

You have to fight back to protect yourself. Don't let your guard down. But also, your well being comes first before you save the world. Always a balancing act. Protect yourself.

A long day in fighting to not relapse. It will only make pain worse. Protect your well being. The longer you go without relapsing, the more debilitating the pain is. But what choice do you have?

The shutdown continues. More innocent people are being endangered. At least one person has died. How come nobody's been prosecuted? Is this murder? Criminally negligent homicide? It's a fucking crime. I'm trying to protect myself as best I can. Set boundaries and keep you side of things clean. You can't just sit back and do nothing. Be careful.

Trump and his racist bots don't care about anyone or anything else but their own power. He'll hire 17 new White House lawyers. But innocent federal employees? Fuck them. The pain never goes away. But you have to protect yourself. Stay safe.

Trump tried to sell his racist wall on TV. Pure lies and fear. Meanwhile the government shutdown continues. Trying hard not to fall apart from depression. Focus on tangible things. Don't let your guard down where you might relapse. You have to protect yourself. Stay in touch.

Greetings to our worldwide audience. Tomorrow, racist Trump will have a national speech where he'll invoke a "national emergency" to justify building his racist wall. Meanwhile his government shutdown continues to destroy the economy, the US intl. reputation and innocent people's lives. NOBODY will prosecute him because that's the "custom" here. Sitting Presidents never get prosecuted. Also, former ones as well. Fighting hard to not fall apart from depression. Face it head on as best you can. But you don't want to just sink down and feel like there's no hope. I did nothing wrong. I refuse to destroy my life. I am not a failure in any way. Protect yourself.

Fighting hard not to relapse. This will only make pain worse. Protect your well being as best you can. Because you have to.

Finally got over my bronchitis. The meds were making my heart symptoms worse. Now we're ust trying to not relapse. That will help you to escape pain? No. It will make it worse. Protect yourself.
