The brilliant @DrAdaCheungAU & @SavZwickl with #PrideInSport Webinar on Trans Inclusion in Sport -
Australia are the global leaders of trans sports.
Nearly 40 sports in Australia 🇦🇺 have community policies on #transgender inclusion in sports💜 🏳️⚧️
It's been 4 years since the launch of the @sportsaustralia Guidelines for the inclusion of transgender and gender diverse people in community sport and everything people were afraid of, hasn't happened. https://t.co/x6BBXSNjFH

The thing about depression and anxiety is you never know when it hits. I have it very bad today. The worst in a year. I didn’t take either of these pics myself but to anyone looking I seem healthy, full of life and smiling. On the inside is pain and an aching body.
I share this because so many people walk around with it and hide it too. Things couldn’t be going better for me. I have the dream life helping dogs, I have great family and friends and I don’t focus on possessions and am at ease with myself. I’ve a book, people say nice things about me everywhere in comments and messages and I’ve suitcases full of dog presents and cards people gave me. But still the dark cloud can descend. I’m thinking about the people who don’t have all those nice things and who are also struggling. That’s why I wanted to write this post. Depression and anxiety can happen to lawyers, sports stars, musicians, the person at the supermarket check out or your family members. It can happen to us all and many feel they have to hide it and battle alone.
I’ve tried to stay positive today but I had to leave a restaurant after going for a burger to try cheer up. I got a panic attack and left to come home and go to bed. The simplest task like walking across the room feels like a challenge. The dark clouds of doom just came in from all sides from nowhere. If you’ve felt that before you know how horrific it is. I couldn’t stop in the shop for a chocolate bar because of fear. The simplest task suddenly too daunting.
I’ll rest and ride it out. I’ve had a busy time and a lot to deal with but it always passes. Ill do all the right things (especially avoided alcohol) to make sure I’m back on track asap.
This is just a post for anybody out there who gets this. I’ve lots of followers now and I thought maybe I should just shrug it off and post a happy dog video I have from last week to cover it up. But this is real life. We can all suffer from depression and anxiety and we can all beat it and I hope by sharing my own little battles it might help someone. We’re all in this together and if you are lucky enough not to have battles do check on someone who you might think needs it. That can be an absolute game changer.
Big love ❤️

I had to repost this 🙏
“Thursday night, I was sitting in my garage smoking a cigarette. Horrible habit, I know. 4 young men rushed me, decided they wanted my car, beat me up, and wanted my keys. I told them the keys were in the house. They decided to go in. What they weren’t expecting were my two 80lb Pit Bulls. They are sweethearts and the kindest dogs you’ll ever know, but protect their home and owner with finesse. My beautiful babies charged these thieves and stood over me as I laid on the floor of my garage, forever protecting me. They are rescues. Unwanted dogs. They saved my life. Please consider adopting a rescue. They might save your life too.”
My article about the importance of ID tags for stuffies who travel will be in the next issue of the Teddy Bear Times magazine. And for anyone who is interested, Girl wrote an article about Kevin, Toddy, and Olly and it will be in the issue after next. #FurryTails#ToddysHug
@theweeflea@PhillipAdams_1 You're right about one thing mate.
The #Referendum is a perfect opportunity for white middle class Aussies to show they care about First Nations people. I care.
