This [user/system/plural/alter/headmate] has an ESSA.

This user loves their ESSA.

An ESSA is an Emotional Support Stuffed Animal. An ESSA is meant to help their handler in some way. This may be simply as a comfort object, but there is often more to it. They may help a person with grounding to mitigate anxiety and dissociation, they may help with sensory processing issues in handlers with autism and ADHD, they may serve as motivators, or any of a wide range of other uses.

Handlers may choose to have an ESSA instead of a live Emotional Support Animal or Service Animal due to factors such as cost, ability to train such an animal, or allergies. They may also have an ESA, but do not bring them out in public. Our system has two ESAs - a bonded pair of cats - but while they do a great deal to mitigate some of our issues resulting from depression, they are not suited for work as psychiatric service animals. We therefore have an ESSA as well. We need to make it home because our cats love us and depend on us, but our ESSA will help keep us from dissociating before we get there.

The flag base used is by @thecouncilofidiots. Our system colored it, and we admittedly shuffled up the meanings of the stripes a bit. Per the Council's flag coining post, the outer stripes are for protection, the small stripes are for safety, the middle stripe is for comfort, and the oval in the circle is for plushies and stuffed animals. In our colored version, light blue is for serenity and security, dark green is for grounding and calm, gold is for autism, deep red is for ADHD, purple is for disabilities more broadly and especially physical disabilities, and white is for regression.

[To the Council, sorry for the ping, hopefully that's alright!]

This [user/system/plural] has hEDS.

This [user/system/plural] has hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) is a heritable connective tissue disorder that causes generalized joint hypermobility, joint instability, and chronic pain. hEDS is also associated with a variety of other symptoms and related conditions that affect many different areas of the body. hEDS is the most common type of EDS, accounting for about 90% of EDS cases. hEDS is currently classified as a rare disorder and is thought to affect at least 1 in 3,100–5,000 people. However, the true prevalence of hEDS is not known and may be underestimated.

Definition, from The Ehlers-Danlos Society, and more information about the condition can be found here. The border of these boxes is purple, the awareness color for chronic pain, and the square at the left side is zebra print, which is the awareness "color" for EDS, to symbolize the uniqueness of each case.
