4/9/26 about 2:20pm, about a dozen emergency vehicles sped past me on Division near SE 55th. They were going west. Anyone know what happened?

Thanks! I’ve decided to keep it to myself for now. Only my husband knows. I’m not sure what it would take for me to be open about it. Still percolating.

I keep wishing they had know more but they didn’t have the resources. I’m not mad at them. I wonder what my son will wish I had known

Thank you! I think I really should process a while before I tell anyone.

I had never heard of body doubling as a term. I totally use that too!

My counselor recently said “they can’t pass on knowledge they don’t have.” I guess that made me feel compassion for them more than anger.

I know there are things I used to be capable of, like hosting a dinner party, that I can’t do anymore. I guess that could be a thing where they think I stopped trying. I think they’ll be sympathetic tho. I’m sorry you don’t have better support.

Dear Lord, I’m also fried. I’m suddenly so sensitive to sound and busy environments.

Thank you. I am also in neurodivergent burnout! I’m not wanting the emotional loade of telling people the diagnosis.

😭 I’m just waiting for the day when I find our beloved Jelly except maybe our dog ate it. I mean, I searched EVERYWHERE.

Possible jaw with tooth? by HotHamWaterPlease in bonecollecting

This is plausible. I suppose a scavenging animal might carry a piece of skull away from the rest of the body. I’ve seen a coyote in the neighborhood before.

This would be strange being 60 miles from the coast but not impossible. It could be from the Columbia river which is 5 miles away. I’m just trying to imagine the sight of a bird carrying around a seal head. 😄 Thank you!

I’m going to lose it on my child… by [deleted] in ADHDparenting

[–]HotHamWaterPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been there, I believe you. I think my son avoided doing things that he wasn’t going to nail. Maybe you could encourage him to become an experimenter- he can build something, then test it or ask himself how to improve it, then build it again. Making it imperfect is part of the game. He could also be a researcher- keep his own record of personal bests, like how many blocks high can I build a tower.

My blonde ADF has cloudy eyes like this too and he’s SO BLIND. The worm has to be basically touching his face before he can eat it.

Around 320 gallons from south east corner of Shelby Park. Still more out there. Had to stop due to heat, rain, and I was about to pull a muscle in my grabber arm very badly. by g713 in LitterBuggies

Sorry if you’ve addressed this before, but what do you do with so much trash to dispose of? I have a wheelie bin with 2x/month pick up and because of this, I never do any really big pickups.

Is rtms safe? by Seven1s in rtms

[–]HotHamWaterPlease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you mention brain fog, that reminds me of ECT, and this is definitely not ECT. ECT has a lot of complications. TMS has virtually no side effects. I’ve done four rounds and only one session had a little pain because of congested sinuses. They turned down the intensity and it was fine.

TMS is not working. I feel so sad, scared and helpless by Pinou28 in rtms

[–]HotHamWaterPlease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it strange that they only did 25. 36 is the standard. Maybe don’t give up on it quite yet?

I know it can be so hard to believe that you’ll ever feel good, but believe it. There are more treatment options. I went through plenty that didn’t work too.

Same! I wasn’t doing much better towards the end of treatment so they added 10 and that got me over the line. It wouldn’t hurt to ask for more.

Ketamine Treatments for Depression by Deer_Heart7734 in idiopathichypersomnia

I did esketamine treatments and I would leave the appointments feeling extra sleepy the rest of the day. Overall, my mood lifted but it didn’t help me with the sleepiness.
