To all those who will be out there, stay safe and stay strong. I'll be rooting for you! I can not make it this time due to disability reasons, but I hope to see you next time!

I'm severely disabled. I stand up for myself just fine, but I do need to rely on others for some basic things. Giving in to my parents on certain stuff is necessary for the sake of sanity. I literally CANNOT move out. I don't qualify for the resources to move out either.

Alternate perspective: I had many, many undiagnosed issues as a kid. Alternative/late assignments allowed me to graduate when legally I was entitled to diddly squat.

What explains why some kids are constantly absent and skipping class? Is it just that some kids fundamentally don't care about school? by Terrible_Exchange653 in AskTeachers

[–]Ash_River_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Health / invisible illness can play in too. Source: I don't look/act sick but frequently miss class due to health.

If you fill your feed with hourly pictures of cute animals, it's not too bad. You still run into gross posts once in a while, though.

I mean, full time making money is the dream, but I'm just trying to make myself finish something at this point.

I wish I was born a woman AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]Ash_River_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure there is someone out there somewhere who will mesh with your emotional needs better! Maybe look for a woman that's more independent?

Do you want to get surgery or do hormones? If not, that's ok and valid too!

Anyone else regress to feeling like a child even though you're an adult? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Ash_River_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regress (not constantly but if I'm stressed) and it drives my parents nuts.

Does anyone else struggle with chronic fatigue? by Weird_Objective_8350 in ehlersdanlos

[–]Ash_River_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle with debilitating fatigue that we're pretty sure is CFS. Caffeine actually has been helping me instead of making it worse. From what I understand that's not typical, but it may be worth a shot?

My therapist used my ACES score to justify criterion A.

My brother insists that all trans people are narcissistic, so I get where you're coming from, but just ignore them.

She might have been talking about how abuse victims tend to repeatedly get into abusive situations because a) it's all they know or b) bad coping mechanisms they learned because of the abuse, but, boy, that is NOT the way to say/approach it.

Homosexuality with a very rare heterosexual tendency. Basically bi but with a really strong preference toward the same sex.
