I'm Allie and I'm recovering from a nervous breakdown. PTSD relapsing, losing my job unexpectedly, transition hardships, drifting apart from social networks over the pandemic, and then the political shifts in DC all snowballed to dire effect.

But--I'm out of DC now, and safe, with family, and seeing a new therapist specializing in trauma. Goals on the horizon are becoming vehicular and getting employment again, as well as advancing with my gender transition goals. To get to that point I need to settle credit card debt accumulated during my DC tenure--getting that squared away will let me tie a neat bow on the DC chapter of my life and hopefully move forward with my cats and family, and through my goals and therapy, with the ability to really focus on the present instead of dwelling in the past.
