i appreciate any amount you can give, and please reblog + share.
My name is Maha, and I'm a trans woman in Iraq. For years, the Islamic regime in Iraq has demonized being Trans. Enmity towards trans people
I often talk about reality checking and going along with it when helping someone deal with delusions, but I felt as if I didn’t really make it clear to what I meant when I said it.
Recently I saw a post similar to “how to sneakily give your delusional friend a reality check when they told you not to” and honestly, that’ll just make us lose trust for you. Because we can tell when you do that.
don’t argue with or challenge the delusion—attempting to disprove someone’s delusions is not helpful at all and will result in that person not trusting you
assure the delusional person that they are safe; be open and honest at all times
encourage them to verbalize their feelings and offer protection to prevent injury to themselves or, possibly, others
start building a trusting relationship with them rather than acting on a desire to control their symptoms
do not confirm or feed into the delusion by asking questions about it when the person is not experiencing a psychotic episode
what it does not mean:
insisting to a psychotic person experiencing psychosis that what they’re experiencing isn’t real
I don’t mean to trivialize psychosis by making a weird comparison, but this guide also serves as a handy checklist for helping someone through a bad drug trip. In both cases your number one priority is to get the person through whatever they’re dealing with unharmed.
i don’t think it’s trivializing at all, nor a weird comparison—as a psychotic person who has had psychotic episodes inadvertently triggered by drug use and/or worsened while trying to self-medicate with drugs, i think this is an important addition.
Every once in a while, I wish the friendship meter from the Sims was real so that way when people tell me "I used Chat-GPT" they can visually see just how much respect I just lost for them in that moment.
WHILE THE WORLD SPEAKS ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS, THIS IS THE REALITY.
For more than two and a half years, you have stood by me through some of the hardest moments of my life. Your support, your words, and your kindness helped us keep going when we were close to breaking. Because of you, we were able to hold on, and I will never forget that.
But the truth is, our story is not over yet.
We have lost everything, our home, our source of income, and the stability we once had. It feels like we are not just starting from zero, but trying to rise from below it.
Now things are even harder with my father’s illness. He needs ongoing care and treatment, while we are facing a complete lack of income. Even covering our basic daily needs has become a real struggle.
We are doing everything we can to stay strong, but we cannot do it alone anymore.
I am not asking for much, just for you to stand by us as you always have. Any support, no matter how small, can make a real difference. It can help us cover my father’s treatment, provide our basic needs, and help us keep going.
And if you are unable to donate, simply sharing our story could help it reach someone who can.
Thank you for being there for us and for not leaving us alone.
Dear Esteemed Donors,
My name is Ahmad, and I am a 16-year-old from northern Gaza… Ahmad family needs your support for Support Ahmad’s Fami
📌📌📌 Fundraiser vetted (#167 by el-shab-hussein & nabulsi), But we created a new GoFundMe page because GoFundMe suspended the beneficiary’s account.
Oh my God, my wife has been in the hospital unconscious for a two week.
My wife is suffering from severe malnutrition and is five months pregnant. We've been here at the hospital for a week, fighting for her.
My wife urgently needs treatment in order for her condition to improve.
We are living through catastrophic conditions; we are suffering from a severe shortage of food and medicine.
We urgently need 450 euros to secure the necessary treatment and food for my wife and unborn child before her health deteriorates further. I implore you, with compassion, to help me and stand by me in my ordeal. I cannot bear to see my wife die before my eyes; she means so much to me.😭
In this cursed war, I lost my mother and older brother due to lack of medical treatment caused by the war and the siege. The pain of loss is unbearable; my heart still aches every day because of their absence. 😭
Please don't leave me alone. I beg you to help me save my wife. I don't want to lose her. I want her to recover and stand by me so we can continue our lives together. 😭
This could be the last time I write anything while my wife is still alive, and I will never forgive anyone who sees this and scrolls past without caring or even sharing.
The doctors said severe bleeding and weakness caused this terrifying moment, and without urgent treatment it could happen again anytime, so I ask, can you help me get treatment for my wife??, please donate now.
As a brother, there is no pain greater than watching someone you love suffer every single day, knowing you cannot take their pain away.
My brother has already been through surgery, endless hospital visits, and unimaginable hardship. We hoped the worst was behind us, but his journey is far from over. He still needs $1,500 to continue his treatment, receive the medications he depends on, and complete the medical care that gives him a real chance to recover.
Deadline: 21 Jul
Current Progress: $23,946 / $ 25,446
In the heart of Gaza City, amidst the turmoil of conflict and resilience, Tawfik's… Tawfik Wal needs your support for Support Tawfik Dream o
Every day we delay his treatment is another day of pain, fear, and uncertainty. Seeing him struggle while worrying about how we will afford his care is heartbreaking. We have done everything we can, but we have reached a point where we simply cannot do this alone.
Your support will help cover:
• Ongoing medical treatment
• Essential medications
• Medical supplies
• Follow-up care and rehabilitation
Every donation, no matter how small, brings my brother one step closer to recovery. If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing our fundraiser. One share could reach the person who changes everything for my brother.
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing with my family during one of the hardest times of our lives. Your kindness gives us hope. ❤️

Hi My name is Ibrahim, a young man from the Gaza Strip. I'm li… Ibrahim Family needs your support for Donate to help ibrahim and his family
My voice shouldn't go unanswered, as if I don't exist. Imagine, my dear friend, being in my place, at this difficult age—adolescence—living under these circumstances. I expect you wouldn't be able to endure even a few minutes. So please, don't leave me to suffer alone. Please donate to me and share this post.
Only $358 left… Please don’t let my mother’s hope end here 💔
We’ve fought so hard to get this far, and now only $358 stands between my mother and the urgent heart procedure she needs 😔
If just 14 kind people donate $25, my mother can finally get one step closer to the urgent heart procedure she needs
I keep refreshing the fundraiser, hoping to see another donation, but nothing changes. Meanwhile, I return to the hospital and see my mother still waiting, still in pain, still asking me with her eyes for hope that I struggle to give.💔😔
I’m begging you with all my heart , Please… don’t tell yourself, “Someone else will donate.” What if everyone thinks the same way?
Be one of those 14 people. Your $25 may feel small to you, but to me, it could mean one step closer to hearing the words, “Your mother can finally have her procedure.”
Please don’t let our hope fade when we are so close. If you can’t donate, please share our story. Every act of kindness brings my mother closer to the treatment she desperately needs. 💔🙏
Please… be the reason I can tell my mother, “You’re finally going to get your operation.” 💔

Several wildfires are forcing members of a number of First Nations to flee their homes in northern Ontario.
“I had time to run home and pack a bag and get to the beach where the boats were waiting,” said a member of Namaygoosisagagun First Nation (Collins). “We literally had minutes to get on the boats and flee before it took our town.
“Once we left my house finally after packing what I could in a pack sack, the fire was right behind our place. We had to run to the beach and once we got there, it was only moments before the fire had jumped over the (train) track and was coming for us.”
it has since been confirmed that namaygoosisagagun first nation has completely burnt to the ground. if you would like to help the community navigate an ongoing crisis, i urge you to donate to the anishinabek nation 7th generation, a registered charity seeking to improve the lives of first nations people. donations are going directly to members of namaygoosisagagun first nation.
