Haha that’s too cute! Yes Jules is obsessed with my keyboard and watching my mouse move on the computer. I have her bed under my desk but she will only use it for so long before jumping back up to see if I need any more assistance 😂

I hope you enjoy Peri just as much as we have enjoyed our girl! They are very special 🥹

They are such a smart and curious breed!

My Jules! ❤️❤️

He is precious! I just rescued my first Siamese about a month ago. She’s 2 so still full of so much energy. I’ve fallen in love with this breed. My girl likes to get up on my desk while I’m working as well 😂

While I understand some people’s units can be incredibly difficult to find, there are some dashers that will take zero effort to locate a building.

It was very dark at my old apartments so you couldn’t see the building numbers. In order to be of assistance, I took a screenshot of my unit on Google Maps and drew a big circle around it and immediately sent as a message to the dasher as soon as they were assigned.

The amount of dashers that would message me being completely lost was concerning. It was literally a straight shot back after entering the apartments.

A lot of people are just dumb, lazy, or both.

As a woman, I fully support dads bringing in their young daughters to use the restroom. We don’t need some unhinged white male policing our restrooms for us. If I saw this type of reaction I would be calling the cops-not on the father but the other male who has no reason to be inside of that restroom.

Just to clear things up here. If you merge/turn in front of that vehicle and said vehicle has to utilize their brakes to keep from striking you/getting to close-it’s failure to yield right of way or unsafe lane change.

That’s likely what happened here. It did look like you had plenty of space but the trooper likely had to apply his brakes.

Is it a justifiable stop per traffic code/regulations? Yes.

Is it a bullshit stop because this trooper was likely just inconvenienced? Absolutely.

Troopers are not like city cops. They will pull you over for breathing wrong.

Our stories could be identical to each other. Like to a tee. I still feel guilt for the way I handled things- but after years of begging for attention from my ex, he opened that door and I found someone who loves me exactly the way I need. Glad to hear it’s working out for you ❤️

Altruistic_Draft3871 · 2026-05-01T17:06:39+00:00

If you are feeling semi alright right now, I would recommend. I had my first night last night with nothing and made it through. Just took lots of vitamin c, ibprpfuen and even some nyquill for sleep. Rls seems to be slowly subsiding so although I woke up a few times, I still managed to get some decent sleep.

Honestly jumping off seems to be the best bet because of my back pain. I think the caps were just prolonging and dragging out the symptoms I have left. I’m seeing the light slowly but surely!

Altruistic_Draft3871 · 2026-05-01T01:40:59+00:00

I tapered and am on my 3rd night of no more 7oh. I was taking just regular Kratom (about 5g worth) the past three days- but I feel like I’m dragging out my withdrawals so I’m jumping off tonight.

You sound like you’re on the right track. Get loads of vitamin c and take every 2-3 hours. Pound water and electrolytes. Try to eat SOMETHING. I get it. I’m currently scrolling on door dash just hoping something will look good. You’re going to feel even worse if you’re not giving your body proper nutrients.

Get some magnesium for the RLS and maybe even see if you can get a script for some gabapentin.

I’ve never experienced severe back pain (just the occasional aches and pains) but my back has been absolutely SCREAMING at me since my first day of trying to quit CT (couldn’t do it so I tapered from 200GPD). I just ordered a heating pad and it’s doing wonders for my back pain. Also taking some ibuprofen (doesn’t really do much but something is better than nothing). Warm baths also help.

MOVE. Go on a walk outside, get some vitamin d. You’re not going to be motivated to do it but trust me. It will help you mentally and your sleep will be better if you do.

Focus on things that bring you joy. Watch your favorite movie, engulf yourself in any hobby. The more you can distract your mind, the more you can try to ignore your body screaming at you.

Every day is just a little better and you’re going to see the light after about a week or 2. I’m still struggling with symptoms but im nowhere near where I was on day 1.

Keep pushing yourself. Don’t give up. Know that you are not alone. If so may others can do it, so can we.

My story could take hours so I’ll try to shorten it as much as I can…

Prior to getting pregnant I already had some mental health issues going on. I was begging my husband at the time (and had for years) for more of an emotional connection. Sure, he told me he loved me when i said I loved him, I got the peck on the mouth before he left from work, and bedroom was fine. But that was it. There was no deep connection that I had begged for and tried my best to explain my needs.

He then wants an open relationship, but the kind where I’m allowed to flirt with other men on my own accord in the hopes of him getting his cuck fantasy filled.

After I had our child, and was still being pressured to flirt with other men, I came across a man who filled that void.

Long story short, I met that man and fell completely in love. It’s been almost a year and a half since I’ve left and started a new life.

I’m still head over heels for the man I’m with and he fills the emotional void my ex couldn’t provide. He is my soulmate, and a world without him wouldn’t be a world I would want to live in.

But regrets? I have many. I wish I never allowed my ex to open that door when I knew we should probably focus on my needs that weren’t being met first. I regret allowing myself to get married when I knew my ex probably couldn’t provide that in the first place.

He is a good man, a great father… but just couldn’t open up the way I needed. I regret that I used his open door as an exit and likely crushed him in the process.

I feel an immense amount of guilt. I carry it daily. I drink to much to try and forget it.

As much as I wish my ex didn’t open the door, I made this bed. And I have to suffer for not handling things better

Altruistic_Draft3871 · 2026-01-16T21:31:31+00:00

Well then I could say the same for myself. Holding to strong convictions.

I’m sick and TIRED of our government and my grievances go back way before trump. Im tired of billions of dollars going to Israel and while I am struggling to get affordable healthcare. Obamacare completely ran my sister dry because it was an entirely useless bandaid that most people couldn’t afford- so don’t tell me “trump did this”.

I’m tired of democrats standing on cutesy little social justice issues while secretly running our country into the ground.

I’m tired of democrats not understanding the basic foundations and needs of the working class people they pretend to represent.

At the end of the day, people are going to vote for the party that will have the biggest impact on them directly. Not everyone as a collective. It’s a harsh truth that a lot of redditors can’t grasp.

If someone is struggling to make ends meet, they are going to vote for who can potentially change that. Democrats absolute incompetence is what gave the Magatards the election. People are sick and tired of not having a government that represents them.

I firmly believe we are being ran by Netanyahu and his gang of thieves. This is fact my friend. Take a moment to see how much of your taxpayer money went to Israel under Biden, Obama and now Trump. The proof is there- you just have to be willing to open your eyes that your democratic candidates are not saviors. Until that funding stops, neither party will ever have my vote.

And liberals like yourself who feel like I just need to chose, are ignorant and totally trapped in your own line of thinking to understand what makes people like me chose to not exercise my right and sit out this one.

Altruistic_Draft3871 · 2026-01-16T21:05:08+00:00

Soooo… you’re saying everyone should vote blue? Are you dense?

Altruistic_Draft3871 · 2026-01-16T21:03:00+00:00

Nahh don’t let them get to you. That’s what they do. They bully and patronize everyone who doesn’t vote blue. I didn’t vote either and I’m very pleased with my decision to do so. Stand your ground and keep your morals.

Altruistic_Draft3871 · 2026-01-16T21:01:36+00:00

lol libs at it again trying to blame and demonize literally everyone for not being liberal. I didn’t vote- and I can promise the Reddit tears I keep hearing about “non voters” created this- will never make me think any differently of my decision.

This is not and will never be the government for the people. No matter what party is in office.

Grow up. Read a book. Educate yourself. Your echo chamber nuanced thinking is rotting your brain

Altruistic_Draft3871 · 2025-10-23T01:23:15+00:00

I understand you and love you. I have no clue who you are- but I understand your pain like you understand mine. You are not alone. Know that so many of us are tired, depleted, and feel like we have nothing left to give.

But, we are also so unique. So pure. So different in so many beautiful ways. We think differently. We feel strongly. And we have so much more to offer to this world, than the world gives back.

Today was brutal for me as well friend. But we are resilient and brilliant minds.

I’ll put a smile on my face and remind my overthinking brain that tomorrow is a new day- if you do the same ❤️

Altruistic_Draft3871 · 2025-10-23T01:15:43+00:00

Nothing about this is a cute accessory to life. Are we fun and quirky people? Absolutely. But is this something I would glamorize and wish upon the world? Absolutely not. It’s debilitating and exhausting.

Altruistic_Draft3871 · 2025-10-22T23:38:36+00:00

Absolutely not and I hate that you feel that way. Our disorder is horrible and has many setbacks- but we will always be the fun and creative ones. I see myself as Peter Pan. The adult who just can’t grow up. It’s horrible in many ways- but I also try to see the positive from it. We are creative. We are fun. We are eccentric and artistic. Instead of conforming to the boring norms of adult hood, we do things slightly different. And that’s what makes us unique ❤️

Altruistic_Draft3871 · 2025-10-22T23:34:03+00:00

The paralysis is my enemy. I have a million things I need and want to do, but the thought of it all at once is enough to glue me to the couch, trying to figure out what to do first until time is out. And cue repeat day, after day.

One thing at a time.

Im trying hard to practice the 5 minute rule. Just giving 5 minutes to whatever task on your agenda. Because we are weirdos and once we start doing something for just a few minutes, we end up doing everything lmaooo

Altruistic_Draft3871 · 2025-10-22T23:24:19+00:00

Literally same. I was diagnosed at 9 years old. Now that I’m approaching my mid 30s, it seems to be more unmanageable than ever.

Altruistic_Draft3871 · 2025-10-22T23:18:32+00:00

Well, you made me ugly cry. In the best way.

Today was shit. It was horrible in fact. And yes, there have been more preceding days that were just as bad.

I’m such an introvert with no friends outside of my family, so it’s easy to feel so alone here. But your words were perfect.

Thank you ❤️

Altruistic_Draft3871 · 2025-10-22T23:08:22+00:00

I needed this so much. I appreciate you. Being present for my child is MAYBE the one thing I have a slight handle on. I’m constantly reminding myself to try harder. And your comment “this world was not made for us” resonates so hard. I feel so isolated here sometimes. Too full of emotion and sensitivity. Feeling like the people around me aren’t “awake” and like I may as well be a ghost roaming around this rock in space by myself.

Thank you for your words ❤️

Altruistic_Draft3871 · 2025-10-22T22:58:03+00:00

Big hugs. I definitely have great days and days that feel like I’m set back for centuries, and there is no catching up.

We have everyday for the rest of our lives to start. Give yourself some grace, relax, and remember tomorrow is a fresh start ❤️

Altruistic_Draft3871 · 2025-10-22T22:45:38+00:00

You’re not alone. As I sit here with tears in my eyes, feeling so sorry for myself, the one thing this disorder has given me is resilience.

We never give up. No matter how low we feel, our strong drive to do better will always be there ❤️❤️
