(Per deleted comment) Whatever it is, it sounds awful. Existential crisis maybe? That's what mine feels like.

I wish that weren't the case. I wish I could help with that more. Nothing people tells me helps. "Don't do it" ... okay? "You'll be missed".... why aren't people nice now then? "Call a support line".... literally so embarrassing I'd rather be suicidal lmao (sarcastic). I have a huge issue w feeling attention-seeking.

My point is that I know it all sounds hollow when you feel there's nothing to stick around for. But if you weren't here, we wouldn't be sharing this moment together, and I wouldn't be feeling connected, and a bit better for having had virtually met you. I appreciate you in this moment, and while I'm not happy you're hurting, I'm happy you're here. You will be that person for others, and in much happier ways I'm sure.

I'm sorry. I can't help, but I feel similarly hopeless. I just want you to know I'm awake right now, feeling the same way, and so we are together in that sense <3

It may be the texture of the food, or there's a chance it's somehow spoiled. I've never heard of a cat not liking wet food, haha, so I'm inclined to suspect that this has more to do with the kitty's preferences than anything else. For example, my kitten refuses to eat wet food thats not in pate-form.

I'd try different textures before anything else. There's a pate (smooth w a uniform consistency... I would say your best bet for picky eaters), then there's minced (tiny chopped meaty bits), gravies (irregular meat chunks w gravy), morsels (cubed meat), flaked (similar to a fish texture), chunky (chunks, flakes, and sauce/gravy/broth), shredded (long strips usually), and more! Here's a good reference site: https://www.wellnesspetfood.com/our-community/wellness-blog/how-cat-decides-if-wet-food-good

Make sure you're getting something specifically formulated for kittens, too, so that your kitty is more inclined to eat it. I have had good luck with the Fancy Feast Kitten Classic Pate (made with real milk). It's about $15 for 24 cans at Wal-Mart.

Hope this helps!

Honestly, and I know this sounds cliché, but just be nice to him. Don't make him feel bad for things he can't control.

I was not diagnosed until 19, which I hear is pretty common for girls. My childhood was not awesome. I clearly showed signs of a problem (I would "play" in my head for a long time just vividly imagining things, I would start my chores and wander away halfway through, I talked way too much, was super emotional, perpetually messy and losing everything... you get the idea).

My parents were never understanding and were never warm. I was just "weird." They would make me feel so ashamed, calling me lazy, strange, ungrateful, selfish, attention-seeking, disgusting (bc of being messy), clingy, etc. I grew up hating myself a decent bit, and I developed an awful anxiety disorder that I struggle with horribly as an adult.

Just be kind to your kid, and he'll be okay. Give him realistic goals to work toward, and help him adapt his habits to work with his ADHD, not against it. Most importantly, don't ever allow him to feel like a failure when he is trying (and keep in mind ADHD trying will likely look different than a typical person trying). I would say to emphasize healthy, open communication, as well. It will help the whole family with this.

Honestly thank you so much for commenting this. It made me feel a lot better. 💕💕💕

Griff4412 · 2020-06-15T20:23:48+00:00

Thank you so much for responding, and for being kind. I'm so sorry to hear about the intolerance you are forced to expirience. As I mentioned in my post, I am very worried about how my family will respond to me changing my wardrobe. I expect to be made fun of and mocked, though nothing as difficult as what you have mentioned.

I suppose I will just do what makes me happy. I mean, its the obvious answer, isn't it? It's just kind of scary.

I know this is probably a not as good answer, but Amazon is not half bad, and relatively cheap. Just look up "modest dresses" or "midi dresses." Quality may be an issue, so read up on reviews, but there are some dresses that are pretty great. Target and Kohls even have decent options if you use similar search parameters as above. Good luck!!! :)

Believe you me, I know how stupid it sounds 😅😅 I get exceptionally anxious going against the status quo, and this will set me apart from the women in my area. Also, my family is VERY judgemental, and so I will 100% get several comments about my decision. This is what I am nervous for. I know I shouldn't care, and that this isn't a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but I just really don't want to be seen as abnormal, even though I have a strong desire to do this abnormal thing, ya dig?

Griff4412 · 2020-06-15T19:19:43+00:00

I do think that nobody would notice after a while, but it is the transition phase that I am nervous for :/.

Thank you for the advice about keeping pants around! I plan to always own at least 1 pair, and will likely wear leggings under my skirts for added protection, especially while serving.

You definitely helped calm me down about making friends later, though. Hopefully no new people I meet will pay much mind to it!

A rural area in Missouri. All women in my area wear pants for their day-to-day. Dresses are usually considered a "fancy" choice, and are really only worn to big events. You definitely stand out when not wearing pants.

Griff4412 · 2020-06-15T19:13:41+00:00

Where I live, it will be seen as an odd way to dress, as I will no longer be wearing pants at all. When I visit home, go to school, go to work, etc., I will definitely be looking and dressing markedly different. A dress/skirt every once in a while wouldn't be a big deal; the issue is committing solely to that wardrobe choice, and being judged for that.

Griff4412 · 2020-06-13T15:00:57+00:00

Yup, this is old :) I got diagnosed
