Hi! I’m thinking of making a discord server for support ! For those who need to vent or get stuff off their chest related to FG and other animal problems

If you want to just chat and have a conversation about what goes on.

Would anyone be interested in joining? It will be highly restricted and have high security measures.

If you’re looking to join dm me.

Hi everyone! I’m wanting to print out some flyers at my community library and keep them in my backpack with me and post them up to places I go.

Does this seem like a good idea?

Does anyone know if FG has a flyer print out or anything related to a flyer? I can’t check their website as I don’t want to be accidentally exposed to media.
If not I will make my own but I will need a QR code people can scan. Does FG have a QR code?

I also post to my socials about FG. I am trying to think of things that can help spread awareness.

Update: I decided to just go to the site and I found a lot of posters and QR codes!

Last year I (17f) came across a TikTok comment that mentioned rings in China and I stumbled into a rabbit hole. Ever since that day, it has affected me severely. I couldn’t focus at work, I couldn‘t eat, I couldn’t sleep.

Everything triggered me, I mean everything.

From Dinosaurs specifically T rexes, to the stove, to blenders. to smoothies, to the color red, down to my own cats. It ate me alive, there was a point where I didn’t sleep for days and I just cried and cried and had more and more concerning thoughts. There wasn’t a single second in the day where I didn’t think about what I saw and what goes on.

Everyday I look up the same question “Is there any hope for the animal cruelty in China?” Just to hopefully get something but it’s always the same.

I can’t just not think about it, the images I saw have legit been engraved into my mind. I have developed severe PTSD because of it. It has triggered my mental illnesses to be so much worse. My mind is obsessing over it, it associated everything with it. Everytime I blink or go to sleep I see it. I dream about it.

I have been through so much in life but this definitely is what hits me like a truck. I talk to my boyfriend all the time about it. It feels like it’s eating me alive. At one point I would scream my lungs out all night and kick around and lash out at my plushes or anything in my room.

I go to the gym to distract myself. I feed my stray cats in my apartment complex, there was one extremely sick cat and my family doesn’t have a lot of money but we took him to the vet and now he’s doing so good now! We honestly thought he wouldn’t make it but I knew there was a 2nd chance for him. That has been keeping me calm, helping the strays here and keeping my mind busy.

If I can’t distract myself I end up being grinded down into a paste.

I hope there will be justice one day and hope for the vulnerable. I will truly never ever understand it. How can those people sleep at night. I’ll never get it.

To anyone else suffering the same way, I hear you and see you. You aren’t alone and you are not crazy. It’s not a crime to be sympathetic. I always best myself up for crying everyday. It gets better, finding a safe space to vent my anger like the gym helped me. It’s okay to take time for yourself. It’s okay to be vulnerable. It’s okay to be angry and cry. Even caring makes a huge difference. You are doing enough. There is hope, and please take a break from all of this if you need it.
