It's important that people know this when they claim platitudes about 'getting support' and 'healing' that require a stable home, friends, family or even relationships. I spent all of that time trying to get to this point by myself just so some selfish POS could slap me down again. I hate this. I posted this on twitter...

But they aren't funding MDMA PTSD research. I think with the right guided nudge, these foundations may be open to s...
