How is he gonna climb that ladder if he doesn’t have two hands free?

Thank you 💜

I’m a current MT resident, planning to leave because I can’t afford it anymore and I keep having to travel out of state for specialty medical care. And honestly, the number of times people have used slurs around me is too damn high

Not disputing that Montana is full of meth, but this happened in Minnesota

He said that if anyone audited they’d need to be able to read my name in the signature. I still trusted him at that point so I didn’t have much reason to question it lol

When I bought my first car, my dad (who owned the dealership lol) shredded the paperwork that I signed in cursive, and made me re-write in block letters. It’s the only car or other big-expense/important thing that I didn’t sign for with my usual signature.

My other confusing problem with that transaction was I wasn’t allowed to buy the kind of vehicle I wanted. Yes, I was already an adult living on my own by then, but I figured he knew best. (he did not)

I eat breakfast consistently, usually some form of rice porrige and various veggies. Lunch is my most skipped meal, but I forget to eat dinner sometimes too lol

If I’m lucky I made rice for dinner and have left over to stir fry the next morning

Every college chemistry class I’ve taken (5 now) has had a professor asking why no living thing uses all d-aminos. Kinda sounds like that experiment may answer the question one way or another!

I had a string of relationships in my 20s as well, but I don’t think any of them were healthy and I developed my own drinking habit to cope before realizing I didn’t want that misery for myself.

Dunno if you want any advice to consider, but I’ve lived alone for most of my 30s, and I have to say having a pet really helps. I have a cat and a dog, and the dog does provide more opportunities for conversations to happen just seeing the same people on the trails we walk every day. These are usually shallow conversations so it’s easier to avoid feeling like I’ve upset anyone (it still happens lol “why did I say good morning that way??” but it’s low stakes at least). But even having a plant to take care of helps with the loneliness, because you have this living thing that occupies the same space as you, and even if you can’t leave the house today you can still share being alive and existing with this plant or creature.

Anyway, I wish you all the luck with your move and your new future

Edit: I just realized we’ve commented to each other before, I was on a different account though lol. I’m glad your move date is so close now :)

I have AvPD, and I am sure there is a genetic link, but it’s hard to separate it from my mother’s issues and treatment of me. She had schizo-affective bipolar and was an alcoholic on top of that.

I’ve found therapy to be a bit frustrating, because I am able to cope with my fears and recognize when I’m slipping into avoidance but still unable to form connections with people. I’ve been released from therapy but still don’t have any friends or relationships because I still react to other people’s unpredictable emotions with fawning and then cutting them out of my life lol

It’s a very lonely disorder

I have no idea what this is called, since I’m still new to Apple, but iPad has a handwriting correction feature in its Notes app. I recently had surgery on my dominant arm, so that feature really came in handy for taking notes at uni. I write in cursive with some mixed symbols and it’s able to handle that.

Maybe when going for a mini laptop you can try finding a tablet that also allows for a Bluetooth keyboard, this way you get practice writing by hand but can swap to keyboard after some time.

Alternatively, you could try the Pomodoro method while writing. I find it helps when my adhd is too stronk

Ah! Okay once you finish all the bundles you’ll get the quest. It’s a grind, but worth it ^.

It’s in the theater! You have to choose the community center path then you’ll get a quest to convert the abandoned Joja warehouse.

I was going to bring up taking Abigail on a date to see cheesy movies and feeding her rock candy, but I enjoy the crane game a little bit more than that lol

I’m optimizing so I can afford to win all the prizes in the crane game 😅

Wash the bands with warm soapy water, and you can try using alcohol to remove the oils on your legs to see if that helps. You can use thin plastic (I just save the bag I get them in) to keep the bands apart and free of lint while stored. I don’t shave, and haven’t had an issue with fine hairs reducing the staying power of the bands, but you may have more dense hair than I do

It could also be that they are simply too wide to stay on you, and this is what I’d bet is happening to you. They stretch a little while warm from body heat, and if it’s too wide there’s very little room to stretch before falling off. Generalized women’s sizes drive me nuts, a large in that brand would fit me at 5’3 and I highly doubt you and I share a thigh size. So my recommendation is that you try a brand for tall women, or at least find one that advertises a thigh measurement.

I can’t meditate in the way that everyone describes. I have a similar combination of brain traits, so I’ll share what helps me. One small caveat, I also have c-ptsd and my experience is that even my choice for meditation analog isn’t going to be helpful until you’re able to use therapeutic skills to protect yourself (like acknowledgment and redirection).

I have been told this counts as a “ritual” which might give you a keyword to find something for yourself that you’d prefer. But what I do is I make tea or coffee in a methodical and intentional way. Everything from choosing my beans, tea or herbal ingredients to the method of brewing gives me a chance to center myself and work out things that may be troubling me. I use a hand grinder and gooseneck kettle to make pour-over coffee. I harvest my own herbs or put together my own blend for tea and use a blooming pot. It’s very sense-driven but routine, which is important for my ADHD and autism to sit happily together for a few minutes.

Some people go for a run and find that meditative, I can see it because I feel similarly when I go for a hike to collect plant specimens. Really, with ADHD you may find that getting your body senses involved (yes even with primary inattentive) helps your brain loosen up and hit that meditative point. I don’t think I’ve ever had a silent brain, and I think that’s a sticking point for a lot of people when it comes to meditation. You can still have the benefits with a loud brain :)

Are you going to delete this one too?

I had a professor who never moved on from his hipster phase. Every once in a while he’d switch it up and wear tech bro sports jackets and graphic tees, like he was trying to branch out but he was more comfy with what he cultivated on his twenties and thirties lol

Sandy clearly has the high ground

Found the cold-hearted Sandy downvoter!
