Dieser Chatbot wird eingestellt

Liebe Nutzer:innen des tagesschau-Telegram-Bots,

Telegram zeigt inzwischen in Chatbots wie diesem Werbeanzeigen an und schreibt den Bot-betreibenden Accounts ungefragt eine Gewinnbeteiligung in einer mit Telegram verbundenen Kryptowährung gut. Diese Funktion lässt sich offenbar nicht abstellen und wir als tagesschau-Redaktion haben keinerlei Einfluss auf diese Funktion. Wir können und wollen derartige Einnahmen nicht annehmen, da es sich bei dem tagesschau-Chatbot um ein öffentlich-rechtliches Angebot handelt. Daher müssen wir den tagesschau-Chatbot auf Telegram leider schließen. Die Inhalte könnt ihr weiterhin über die Messenger WhatsApp, Apple iMessage und Facebook Messenger nutzen: https://www.tagesschau.de/messenger Den direktesten Draht zu uns habt ihr natürlich über die tagesschau-App: https://www.tagesschau.de/app

Viele Grüße, euer tagesschau-Social-Media-Team

I gave up weed since I was a teenager. I have a very active inner monologue, my therapists have always said that I intellectualise everything, which isn't a good thing. Weed smoking just makes my inner demons even louder, me more anxious, and the over analysing even more over done. Maybe it'll be different because it's been 20 years, and supposedly cannibis breeding has made strains that don't make you paranoid???

NOPE

Thankfully I didn't take bong rips like 18 year old me used to. (Do you all even still call them bong rips). Even just a couple of puffs brought back the old self hatred and paranoia.

The only good thing is that middle aged me is better at arguing against my inner demons than teenager me. My life sucks because this system sucks, not because I suck. Some people hate me because they're materially comfortable descendants of settlers and colonisers who still take the side of empire in 2025. I'm lonely because this system is alienating AF.

I put on positive commie music for two hours and sang along, literally crying for much of it. I feel asleep to Columbo.

tldr: if weed made you paranoid at 18, it might still make you paranoid in your 40s.

I am daft, my maths was off. 9 sessions x £60 per session is £540 plus £40 shoe inserts = £580 in total. But two more people came through with donations, thank you so much! I now have £216 towards it. Since I have some of the money already I have made an appointment for the consultation, it's 13th August, this Wednesday coming.

Repost:

I had a stroke a few years ago and it has left me with pain and debilitating mobility problems. Despite musculoskeletal physiotherapy and neuro physiotherapy on the NHS, it's getting worse, not better, as my left side is so weak I can barely walk and keep getting severe sports injuries on my left side just from doing simple everyday things like lifting small objects and walking a few steps. I have ended up in the emergency department of the hospital on multiple occasions with debilitating and painful injuries like torn muscles, inflamed tendons and similar things, just from doing simple daily things like walking a short distance and lifting light objects, all because my left side is so weak due to the stroke. These injuries are so severe I've been completely unable to use the affected body parts for a long time afterwards, and am currently virtually immobile due to it.

Because of long NHS waiting lists and the fact it took so long to start physio after the stroke, combined with the fact they can't provide regular enough treatments due to having too many patients, my mobility problems have been getting worse rather than better.

I had my most recent physiotherapy appointment today and they told me I need two things that the NHS doesn't pay for. I need new orthopaedic inserts in my shoes, and they also recommended shockwave therapy, since all other treatments up until now have failed. However the NHS is gradually reducing the treatments they offer, and my local hospital's physiotherapy department doesn't offer this treatment on the NHS. They said they can refer me to go private.

The cost is £60 a session, and I would need multiple sessions (maybe 9). The orthopaedic inserts for the shoes are £10 each and I need four.

My mobility problems due to all this are so severe now that I can barely walk more than a few steps. I am trapped at home all day, have no independence as I can't go anywhere unless my landlady agrees to drive me. I can't even use public transport as the nearest bus stop is too far away for me to walk. I am a prisoner unless this gets resolved, and it is destroying my mental health, I am so depressed staring at four walls all day.

Due to the fact I'm going through a disability benefit appeal and have no income, I can't pay for this myself. If anyone is able to help with any part of the cost, my paypal is the_mighty_tabs@hotmail.co.uk

(If anyone is willing to help, please write in the message box that it's a gift, as if I win my benefit appeal I will have to prove I didn't earn any money coming in.)

I have written a more detailed post about my mobility issues and lack of NHS funding for this in the disability megathread if anyone wants to know more.

I'm only 41 and I am living the life of an old age pensioner stuck in a nursing home. I really need whatever help exists to try and improve this situation. Life is absolutely miserable like this. My life was already down the drain due to cancer treatment and everything, but without even being able to get outside and walk around, I've got nothing worthwhile at all. Also I'm already at risk of having another stroke due to my thyroid cancer treatment, and lack of exercise is going to increase that risk.
