Worst part of my ptsd are the night terrors/sleep paralysis. Its so fucking exhausting. I cant wait for my dog to learn to alert me in my sleep bc I cant keep doing this.

So... big suprise!
The municipality is funding me a lightweight wheelchair!
I did not expect that at all, but it's progressing pretty fast and I am about to be called for a fitting and selection process to find the right wheelchair for me.
I'm kinda hoping I get a completely custom-made and fitted one, but will also be incredibly grateful with a more standard (and cheaper) wheelchair. Honestly the fact that I won't have to buy one myself saves me like 400 - 500 bucks. So win!
No news on the adjusted living space yet.
But the news for the PTSD service dog is carefully hopeful?? It's no longer no, but maybe.
So, progress!

hi guys! so as people who have been following me for a while may know, i've been in the process of trying to get a service dog so i can actually function for the better part of two years now. it's been difficult because i'm an adult civilian with ptsd, and pretty much all affordable organizations and funds are either for children, blind people, or veterans. this service dog will primarily be used as a psychiatric service dog to assist with my ptsd, and will also assist with mobility during higher pain days, and will be trained to do medical alerts
yesterday i had an interview with my state's vocational rehabilitation center, and (transphobia and ableism aside) it was pretty much a useless waste of time. so now i'm on my last resort. right now i have three things i'm doing to get money
i'm going to start donating plasma next week
i'm opening an etsy shop as soon as i get back to my college campus and have access to a po box
i'm starting a g/f/ndme
the total cost of the service dog will be $17,000, with $3,000 being due up front at the time of me signing the contract. i need your help raising that money, since i'm currently unable to get conventional employment due to my disabilities (something that'll be relieved once i get a service dog. yay for the cycle of poverty /s)
i'm going to reblog this post with the link to the fundraiser, and once my etsy shop is open i'll link that as well. if you can't donate, please at least reblog this post so other people can

When my Service Dog was tasking for me. Her task was to “block”. A block is where the medical equipment (service dog) puts a barrier between you and someone else that could pose a threat, or trigger you in any way. :) She did awesome!!!!

Hi!! I feel kinda bad posting this here, but I trust Kinzblr with my problems lol. I was wondering if anyone could donate to my GoFundMe to get myself a service dog- and if you wish, I can make you a drawing in return! I hope I can reach some kind souls with this post, since I think a service dog would really help me out right now, but my family is quite poor at the moment. Also, please ignore that I'm using a different name in this GoFundMe, I'm not really out to my family about using the name Waylon, so I mostly just use my name online, and then an old name I used in public.
Thank you so much if you decide to help at all, and thank you if all you do is reblog, or like, or anything :) 💙💙

Hey everyone! I’m trying to raise funds for my Service dog Betty who will support me everywhere i go. I just want to be able to live a normal-ish day to day life again and Betty will be a huge help to let me deal with my struggles. If you want to read further, i’ve got a more detailed text on the GFM in english and in german. Any shares or donations, basically any form of support would honestly mean the world!!

It was a good day. No pain. Blood sugars in check. Nice weather. A little howling. A little woo-wooing. A nice long walk. Good meals. I miss you Little man. No greater love.

hype us up we’re gonna call another service dog program in the next couple of days (soon) and it would be super great if they think we are a good fit for the program cuz they provide service dogs at no cost and they pay for you traveling and staying at the facility for three weeks to train with the dog they chose for you!! AAA /pos

hey guys,
i just reinstalled the tumblr app to check out some stuff i posted here a couple years ago, especially during the times of 2013-2016 when i created this blog.
it hurts to see old posts; mainly because back then i would’ve thought that by now i’d be recovered and living my best life.
turns out, i’m probably doing worse than ever. two and a half years ago, my best friend committed suicide and my life became steadily worse. my drug ab*se got out of hand and a year ago, i saw one of my ab*sees and it all got worse.
for quite some time me (and most of my therapists) were convinced i had bpd but turns out, we were wrong.
after years of not knowing what my diagnosis was, i finally got diagnosed with cptsd and pnes. i realised, that most of my was filled with abuse. life hasn’t been easy ever since but there’s a light in the dark - in about three months, my service dog in training will move in and i cannot put my excitement in words.
i hope you guys are doing okay <3

My psychologist and trauma team are writing a medical report for a service dog. I cannot begin to express how relieved I am to have my medical team behind me.

my service dog is already helping me sm!!! i had a pots episode last night and it was very hard being excited (as a reward for him alerting me) and a bit annoying that he didn't stop alerting until the episode went away bc like it took a while to go away lmfao BUT he was very helpful and he was very excited to give me my phone
i think rn my most tangible benefit is when i go somewhere. since like middle school so over nine years i've always had to listen to music whenever i go anywhere to keep my ocd and anxiety under control. walking with him is the first time in a LONG time that i haven't needed that. he's a very good boy :)

Really don’t like waking up in a cold sweat with some strange sense of fear and that if I don’t get out of the room and into the light of the living room that I’ll be in some kind of danger is not fun. I’d like that to stop.
Anyway, I need to ask my therapist if there’s anything outside of a service dog that can help with that. Meds haven’t worked in the past, but I’m in a safe situation now so maybe? Also getting a service dog is painfully expensive. And idk if that’d work with my line of work. Being a caregiver idk if that’d be something I could even do. Not to mention the cost of taking care of said dog.
Honestly I have very little information on this. I just know that it’s helped other people who have similar symptoms as mine, and idk if I’m just hopeful that it’d help, or desperate.
There’s also the heart problems my dr is trying to figure out. He’s concerned it’s becoming dangerous. And we’re trying to figure out the source and what it could be. I’ve had a monitor on for almost two weeks. No idea if it’ll show anything. All my EKG’s have shown nothing, but that’s why he wanted two weeks on a monitor. To see if it’ll pick up something they just can’t see on a few min ekg.
I really hope they find something honestly. And that goes for all my symptoms. The chronic pain, constant brain fog and fatigue. And all the others. Most people in my life don’t understand my desperation for someone to find something on the tests. But it’s been years of suffering with no answers. At this point I just want to know what’s causing it even if there’s nothing they can really do for it. My chronically ill friends all understand it at least.
