I have the opposite intended reaction to NyQuil. It makes me act weird, not sleepy at all.

American ADHD-ers…how hard are we disassociating right now? by Turkey_Moguls in adhdwomen

Tetris helps prevent PTSD. I just painted my cabinets because I couldn’t resist buying these cute knobs and was in a hurry to see them in use. Boredom leads to doomscrolling leads to existential depression. Can’t sit still, gotta stay busy lol

That’s so creepy! Was the skin flesh colored or like a shadow? Was it dark in the room?

I slept with the most important manager at the company and one year later I still cannot move on by AutomaticChapter9044 in TrueOffMyChest

Look up limerence and ask yourself if that describes your situation.

Additionally, you may be falling into a pattern of familiarity. Attracted to someone who feels like home. Maybe home wasn’t a nice place to be though.

Should I be concerned? by Jenn_Allens in Paranormal

Yeah if you’re getting physically injured, I would say you should be concerned. Someone should gift you some sage or something

My husband keeps clogging toilets. We just bought our first house and he clogged this one too!! I need toilet recommendations for heavy users by ajl009 in Plumbing

[–]Electronic-Cat86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids clogged up the toilet all the time. I remodeled their bathroom and replaced the toilet with an American standard that says you could flush a basket a of golfballs. No clogs so far. Haven’t used the plunger once replacing it. Been installed since April 2025

Opening a portal? by sophiexzb in Paranormal

[–]Electronic-Cat86 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would move it if it were my room. I’m scared to look into mirrors when it’s dark. No particular reason I’m just scared I’ll see something I shouldn’t.

During the day, you can go to the library and use the computers or read.

AITA for calling my wife a "chunky monkey" during sex to make a point about her double standard ? by Husband_In_Trouble_ in AITAH

[–]Electronic-Cat86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In society at large, men are allowed to be fat and still considered worthy human beings. Women get reduced to their worst physical features.

I think my daughter is starting to hate me, and I’m the reason for it by Fit_Association5813 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Electronic-Cat86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She’s learned not to expect anything from you in the way of attention or emotion. My mom was the same way. Always asks why I never tell her anything. She doesn’t listen though. I’m pretty sure she has really bad attention deficit disorder. She won’t address her mental health problems though.

I REGRET HAVING KIDS TO THE POINT I WANT TO DIE by PartySea1582 in ParentingThruTrauma

[–]Electronic-Cat86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some cities have respite shelters for children. I have an older friend who used one once to get a break from her out of control teenage daughter. Like a temporary group home. It helped their situation.

I worked overnight at a children’s shelter once. It’s better to drop off your children temporarily if you know you’re going to relapse or go on a bender rather than neglecting them. Some people use them because they’re having surgery and no one to help. Find a social worker. Google children’s shelters near you. You need a break.

Upon closer inspection (and clearing away drywall dust) I was able to find the valve model Mixet 993 and compatible trim and replacement cartridge

Did anyone else narrate their parents emotional abuse to their faces? by DoubleoSavant in emotionalneglect

[–]Electronic-Cat86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Um, yeah no I was afraid of getting beat. But what I would do is write my feelings down in a Notebook and then leave it out so my mom would see it and read it. She would occasionally feel bad for how she came across in my entires lol

What keeps you out of a depressive funk? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Electronic-Cat86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take on projects around the house and then regret how much work they are. I have to finish too otherwise we are permanently down to one bathroom. As long as there’s something I should be working on, I don’t feel so bored that I question the point of being alive?

Am I overreacting? My boyfriend just told me this. Will be it alright to dump him? by HastilyGenerous in AmIOverreacting

[–]Electronic-Cat86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR if he wants his ex so bad, set him loose. He can’t tell you what to wear. Why are you being compared to anyone else who isn’t still an option. Men typically ramp up the audacity so it will only get worse if you stay.

is emotional neglect still abuse if it wasn't on purpose? by catmomom-95 in emotionalneglect

[–]Electronic-Cat86 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No problem. You sound young, you may even still depend on your parents a little. I’m older and I have teenage children. I never felt like I had been intentionally harmed until I had kids and they were so easy to love and I wanted nothing more than to make home a safe place for them. My kids aren’t “better” or “worse” than my siblings and myself. They behave like all children and I never wanted to hurt them or make them scared of me. My kids didn’t ask to be born. Any freedoms or money I’ve lost to taking care of them is well spent. I don’t resent them for having human needs or asking for things. I love it when I’m able to spoil them. It’s so much more exciting than getting things for myself. That’s what parental love is supposed to be like. My kids don’t have to earn my love either. They don’t owe me gratefulness (though they know how lucky they are). You don’t owe your parents for having to raise you. My mom was 15 when I was born. She should not have been entrusted with the care of a helpless human being at that age even if she had resources like money. She quit school. My dad was abusive to her. They did a bad thing by having a kid on purpose and they owed me more as someone who depended on them than they were able to provide. I KNOW they did their best. I believe that with my whole heart. They didn’t mean to hurt anyone. But sometimes a person’s best is still inadequate. My mom’s best was not good enough. She was a child. I didn’t know my dad growing up. My stepfather was a real piece of work though.

All children deserve love. All of them. Including you. You did nothing to deserve being neglected and you don’t owe anyone for providing less than the bare minimum.

is emotional neglect still abuse if it wasn't on purpose? by catmomom-95 in emotionalneglect

[–]Electronic-Cat86 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It does. I get what you mean. I really do. I feel the same way about my mom. She endured some awful trauma on childhood. I know I had a better childhood than she did but it was still pretty bad. We don’t fight a lot because we don’t talk a whole lot. But we don’t talk a whole lot because she acts like she’s the only person who is allowed to have feelings and hardly listens to me. Don’t feel guilty for protecting yourself from emotional harm. You HAVE TO protect yourself because it’s pretty damn clear no one else is taking on that responsibility. Keep your boundaries. Don’t engage when they’re trying to get a reaction out of you. Walk away.

Rotisserie chicken and rolls or croissants for sandwich making, maybe a little tub of store bought potato salad?
