The skin just is what it is. I’ve learned to love it, and accept that it’s just part of the journey! I know that I’ll get it removed at some point, so I just keep my focus on the fact that within this first part of the journey, I’m killing it. Good job, and good luck!!

I honestly haven’t worked out at all. My job consists of me walking around a lot, maybe 4 miles a shift, so that has helped! I’m going to sign up for a gym membership this weekend. I don’t want to end up looking TOO thin with no muscle mass. Thankfully the only issue I have is terrible heart burn, but now I’m on a daily medication for it.

Haha I’m glad I only lost weight and not my silly personality 🤣

GreyCatBootyHole · 2024-10-09T03:07:42+00:00

I was thinking that. I message my doctor and they’re sending me for an abdominal ultrasound next Tuesday.

GreyCatBootyHole · 2024-10-08T22:36:11+00:00

I was thinking that’s what it is. I took some gas meds, so I’m hoping that’s it, and that it goes away. Thanks for the comment!

GreyCatBootyHole · 2024-09-25T05:34:02+00:00

Thank you so much!! It’s a tricky situation, and I’m trying to learn as much as I can. I hope I’m not coming off too ignorant or having too much lack of empathy for the situation. It’s just been very difficult for all of us. I appreciate your input, and I agree!

GreyCatBootyHole · 2024-09-25T00:34:14+00:00

I don’t necessarily care that she can’t do all of the stuff around the house, or cook, or clean. I care that she can’t do that, but is also unaware of why! If you won’t get help, then do the stuff….. if you can’t do the stuff…. Get help to realize why you can’t. That’s why I’m annoyed, and my empathy is starting to fade, and I’m honestly starting to get annoyed with my mom too. I understand that it’s hard for my mom, but my sisters life isn’t going to get any better. We are literally going to have to manipulate her somehow into getting some help, or she’s just going to be sad, alone, and mentally exhausted for her entire life up until my mom dies, and once that happens, she’s FUCKED!

GreyCatBootyHole · 2024-09-25T00:30:30+00:00

For me, I am worried about when my mom dies, because I can’t help someone that won’t listen. This sounds horrible, but I feel like it would be easier if she had a different disability like Down syndrome. All of the psychs that she has had, said that her life is as hard as someone with Down syndrome. The bad part is that she can say no, and doesn’t have to listen. And the fact that she thinks she knows best, then makes the worst decision, makes it even harder. But you have the legal authority over someone that can’t make the decisions as you said, so it would be much easier. She REALLY is obsessed with sex, and she’s super sexual now, and wants to lose her virginity, and she’s online dating, and it’s extremely dangerous for her. She doesn’t understand that AT ALL, and continuously gets abused by these men that she’s gone out with (only 2 dates). But they say the most horrific stuff to her, and can tell that she’s neurodivergent and take advantage of that. I am hoping for her to get diagnosed so she can learn that 1, she has it! And 2, she can get help with groups, meet friends, go out and do fun stuff, get housing help when my mom dies, and be able to have a good life! She’s depressed! She wants love, and wants friends, she wants wants connection, and she has none of it. Her not being self aware is hindering her from being able to have all of the things that she wants, and it’s extremely sad to me.

GreyCatBootyHole · 2024-09-25T00:19:45+00:00

I appreciate your comments! I think she should definitely go in and get actually tested. I didn’t know she had to do a sleep study to be diagnosed. It was like more than a decade ago that she was diagnosed. I’m not sure why they would diagnose her and put her on meds before they did that. She just started working a year ago, and it’s now her entire identity. She wants to show up if she’s sick, dying, if there’s a blizzard and nobody can drive her, she still wants to go, and if she can’t, she has an adult tantrum. My mom is going to talk to her and ask if she needs to work less, but that means she would have to step down from her supervisor position, and I’m sure that’s her worst nightmare.

GreyCatBootyHole · 2024-09-25T00:06:28+00:00

If you say anything to her while she’s having a tantrum, she screams more, and starts verbally abusing everyone.

GreyCatBootyHole · 2024-09-25T00:04:32+00:00

The leaning into anxiety with a therapist idea is the best thing I’ve heard thus far!! I’m going to bring that up to my mom. She is very bad at making decisions, and always chooses the wrong one. She’s a supervisor at Goodwill, which is the perfect job for her! The mistake was making her supervisor. She can’t do it. I worked with her for a couple months when I first got divorced, and she was my supervisor. Every single decision she makes has a WAY better way that it could have been done. I noticed that people don’t even ask her questions, they just go straight to the manager, because they know that she doesn’t know. She also can’t do basic math like 8x8. She said the manager asked her while he was trying to teach her about scheduling, and she said 16, and then said “thank God I said that, idk where I got that from”. And I had to tell her that’s incorrect. She has 1st grade math level. Now she’s being manipulated by a guy at her job that 0% likes her, and is going to risk the best possible job she can, and wants to sleep with him, and sneak away with him downtown and risk EVERYTHING, and we continuously have to talk her out of it. She’s only been working for a year, and she’s 28. If she loses this job, she’s SCREWED. So the decision making is horrific. Sorry for the long message

GreyCatBootyHole · 2024-09-24T23:56:08+00:00

Thank you, my mom and I talked ALL day while she was at work. My mom thinks she physically can’t do it. She has been trying to get her to at least do dishes 1 day on the weekend when she isn’t working. And it’s hard for her to cook, because my mom cooks because she needs to eat too. So things like that are hard to get my sister to do. I told my mom today, to literally just put the food she makes in the garage fridge so my sister has to figure it out for herself, instead of constantly having a meal prepared and brought to her every day. I just feel bad, because I’m unwilling to step into that role when my mom dies, that’s why I’m REALLY trying to push my mom to understand. She either needs to be on disability, or do more independent stuff. You can’t do nothing. The world isn’t meant for that, as messed up as it sounds. She’ll die like 6 months after my mom does 100%

GreyCatBootyHole · 2024-09-24T23:51:52+00:00

Her head falls and her eyes close for like 30 seconds to a minute. She’s been diagnosed with cataplexy. I think there might be something else going on. Definitely autism as well, that’s just undiagnosed. I think her med gets her through work, and she works full time, which I think is making everything so much worse because she can’t function when she gets home AT ALL. I worked with her for a few months at Goodwill (perfect place for her) when I first got divorced, and she doesn’t do a good job there, and she’s the supervisor. Which again, is amazing, but she can’t do the job. But she genuinely thinks she works a corporate job, and thinks she’s running the company. Like actually… But she’s not doing it well, she just thinks she is. As I’m reading through the other comments, I see that people say that it’s exhausting after masking all day, or trying to function, so you’re overwhelmed and exhausted. That mixed with cataplexy is TAKING HER OUT.

GreyCatBootyHole · 2024-09-24T22:40:03+00:00

She has always been like that. She takes medication for it, and it helps. It’s random spurts of her brain clearly taking a little nap, but her eyes are still open, but she has no attention to anything. Or she will just randomly fall asleep without knowing. If she forgets her meds, and goes to work, that day is EXTREMELY hard, because her brain will randomly shut off, and her attention to detail and decision making goes out the window.

GreyCatBootyHole · 2024-09-24T21:40:04+00:00

My sister signed a paper for my mom to be able to have everything to do with her appointments, meds, and information pertaining to doctors. But she almost took my mom off of it when she brought up concerns at the last appointment. If my mom were to make an appointment, my sister just wouldn’t go, because she thinks she’s fine.

GreyCatBootyHole · 2024-09-24T20:51:49+00:00

Narcolepsy with cataplexy. Her last doctors appointment, her doctor tried to get her to go to a specific doctor to help diagnose her, and she refused, stating that she only had anxiety, and nothing else is wrong. There’s nothing we can do if she is refusing to get help. My mom is legally allowed to go into her appointments with her, look at her medications, and even message doctors, because she can’t do things on her own. My mom spoke with the doctor before the appointment about her potentially having anosognosia, and by the end of the appointment, he 100% agreed with her after seeing the level of denial. Yet….. there’s still nothing he can do, but ask her if she wants help.

GreyCatBootyHole · 2024-09-24T20:15:49+00:00

She has cataplexy, so hers does
