Saw this on FB. I don't know if this Dr. Doyle is legit, but I feel personally attacked. So there's that.
Post traumatic depression is frequently fueled by survivors' reluctance to put things worth looking forvard to on the calendar- because trauma has convinced us anticipating good things is pointless & stupid. Planning fun things can feel risky when the future is unknowable. Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle I @DrDoyleSays

I think this stabs anyway, but the anxiety disorder twists the knife
Somebody said "Being overly independent is a defense mechanism from constantly being let down" & I promise you I felt it in my soul.

Happy #Caturday from Izzy. Especially to everyone who's hungover or planning to be.

Oreos are just so gross.

Big brother. Retro #Caturday
Large dog with front paws an ottoman. He stands over his cat sister as she stands on same ottoman. They look out a window into the back yard as critters captivate both of them. Flippin' adorable.

As soon as I shut down the first session the Blue Jay showed up, so I started recording again.

It's cool enough for a #TenMinMerlin, but all I got this morning was these two angry assholes presumably yelling at each other.

Caffeinated, fed, and medicated. LFG, #Caturday!
Two cats, Izzy and Ollie, being extremely lazy during outdoor enrichment time. Izzy, a tortie, half sits half lays on stone pavers while Ollie, a brown tabby, sprawls out them in the foreground showing the camera his very floofy belly.

Grocery day. They had bags of them, but I heard they weren't great and didn't want to be stuck with a lot anyway. (I'm being nicer to my guts than my tastebuds right now.)

It's not the best morning I've ever had, but there are birds and it's Friday.

Even though I can't work, Fridays are still magical.

The blue jay and the crow sound like they're two old men who like the sound of their anger. But I'm guessing there's just a predator nearby and they're on alert.

I think the cuckoo ID was a mistake. But dang the Wren and blue jay were having a chirp-off. The Wren dropped the mic on that bitch.
