“Dear PoPville,
Is it just me or is Capital Bikeshare trying to charge others for lost bikes it mistakenly says were not docked?
In my case, it turns out the dock was ‘off line’ when my bike was docked and Capital Bikeshare had no record of it – until I found the bike ( with serial number) still in the dock 2 days later and sent a photo to prove the problem is with its system.”

Mental health struggles don’t come with a schedule or a warning. Whether you’re overwhelmed by work stress, dealing with anxiety after scrolling social media, feeling isolated, or just having a hard time—you’re not alone. And asking for help isn’t weakness. It’s courage.
Here’s the thing about mental health in DC:
Too many of us are suffering in silence. Young adults are navigating social comparison anxiety. Seniors are dealing with isolation. All of us are carrying weight we don’t always show.
What you need to know:
- You don’t have to figure this out alone. The 988 Lifeline is available 24/7—call, text, or chat anytime. No judgment. No pressure.
- Small habits change everything. A 15-minute walk. Putting your phone down for an hour. Talking to someone you trust. These aren’t luxuries—they’re survival skills.
- The myths are wrong. Therapy isn’t just for “sick” people. Mental health isn’t a weakness. Your feelings are valid. You deserve support.
- Your community is here. Local DC mental health resources, support groups, and counselors are ready to help. Free screenings. Affordable care. People who get it.
This week, we’re challenging DC to #BeMindful. Share what helps you—a walk, a conversation, a moment of silence. Break the stigma by being real about your mental health.
If you’re struggling:
- 988 Lifeline: Call or text 988
- Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741
Your mental health is as important as your physical health. You deserve to feel okay. And you don’t have to do it alone.
