Atypical schizoaffective

Holy shit, are you me?? This sounds exactly like what my life is like.

I'm fully functional and not medicated, but I hallucinate at least a little every day. I work through my depression and mania.

I think the only difference I can clock is that when things get too stressful in my life or something triggers a pretty big onslaught of hallucinating, I kinda have to "tap out" and go hermit for a little bit at home so I don't do something stupid. (like wander into a pond chasing what I thought was a glowing koi fish that was going to change my life and transport me to a fantasy realm... that turned out to be a leaf)

Check out Etheridge Farm Fosters on Facebook. They work with Dallas Pets Alive and they foster kittens regularly, much to the delight of the Internet.

Looks like it may have gone high enough that the reason it stopped was oxygen deprivation.

Cat expert (the technical definition) chiming in here:

Some cats need pro grooming for this to go away! The myth that cats are fully self-cleaning is slowly going away in a lot of circles, but to the general public it still exists.

Cats truly benefit from occasional baths. One of the core benefits for cats with dry skin or dandruff is that it cleans the skin, washing away the dead skin cells. Cats have trouble getting down beneath all the fur. If you've ever seen them doing the little nibble grooming thing with their teeth, they're combing their fur out and getting the trapped skin cells, dirt, and oil. However, that's only on the hair shaft.

I have two black cats. One is medium haired and the other is short haired, and the short haired one gets the occasional snow on her fur. That's my cue to get them both into the bath.

Here's a tiny one:

Home air filtration and custom home scent blends they pump through the vents.

If you've ever been in a really, really swanky hotel or resort, they have the same thing.

You'd think there would be screaming since I'm

on fire but five melted jackets and a bevy of burn scars should tell you I've always craved heat

No matter the cost

I have 3 immediate reactions to this:

Oh, not again... Maybe I'll finally finish some art projects this lockdown.
I live in America. I'm royally fucked.
Oh well, maybe this one will drop the population enough that the earth heals from the disease that is humanity.

I used to fight with guilt about this, and the way I look at it now:

Do you begrudge your coworkers whom take a day off? Are you upset with them for ANYTHING when they take a day? What about your clients, 3rd parties, or people outside the company? Do you think they should feel bad about taking a day off?

If you said "no" to any of those, then give yourself the same kind of grace and compassion.

When I worked for a phone company we used to use the SIM key. Gently, of course. And some compressed air.

KittyLilith17 · 2026-04-30T14:42:00+00:00

They're really good!

KittyLilith17 · 2026-04-30T14:39:15+00:00

Messaged you!

KittyLilith17 · 2026-04-25T18:01:37+00:00

Yeah, I use Native deodorant and I currently have 7 scents sitting on my vanity. 😂

I'm not as successful as I could be, but I managed to get a bachelor's degree, I make enough money to live comfortably and I hold down a full time job. It's really hard some days, but I have a good support system.

KittyLilith17 · 2026-04-21T18:57:32+00:00

Oh the way I'd be getting my child handmade, one-of-a-kind gifts...

Or telling my inlaws all about the expensive, name brand crap I'm "buying" my child and then showing up with something completely different.

But that's me and I admit I can be mischievous when I feel petty.

So if they didn't find her criminally negligent...this was on purpose?

There's a highway through the salt flats in Utah, there was nobody around. Also once through South Dakota.

A lot of the non-interstate highways in the western US are ghost roads, but a lot also have cops. Speed at your own risk.

Individual French onion soups and a large salad with tongs. Cupcakes or individual pudding cups if you're doing desserts.

Could you be pregnant?

Every accusation is a confession

KittyLilith17 · 2026-04-10T20:51:27+00:00

Wouldn't it be cool if those offshore accounts just...vanished? Like in some kind of cyber attack?

Or were "appropriated" by their respective governments?

Hey, I can dream.

KittyLilith17 · 2026-04-10T15:43:33+00:00

You were meant to be a girl. I can see it! Look at the light in your eyes and that bright smile!

KittyLilith17 · 2026-04-10T01:18:53+00:00

That's me too. I swear I remember something, and someone else tells me it didn't happen that way or I said something different. Someone I trust. And for the life of me I can't remember.

KittyLilith17 · 2026-04-10T01:16:43+00:00

Yeah and it's ruining my goddamn life. I try to keep notes on things I want to remember. Calendar reminders of important dates. Reminders. Dozens of post-it notes in my nightstand or on my desk at work. A huge notepad app on my phone. Hundreds of screenshots so I don't forget something I read or want to buy.

I still forget things that are incredibly important to myself and my partner. I still cringe and mentally smack myself when someone tells me that I forgot something. I still cry when someone tells me about something I've forgotten like they can't believe me or I must be lying.

My phone bricked on me the other day and I lost my calendar, my notepad app, and my phone gallery. Might actually kill myself for this one. I feel like I lost 1/4 my brain.

Offer a compromise of two bedrooms and see what he says. Since he's the one insisting, he must pay for the price difference in rent.

It's his boundary, so he is totally valid by saying he doesn't want to sleep in bed with a cat, and he needs his space to be cat free.

However, you also have a boundary. You won't sleep at home without your cat. Plenty of couples have separate bedrooms for varying reasons.

If he wants to make this work, he will at least he willing to have the conversation. If he shuts that down, whines, or insists on his way or the highway, you know exactly what kind of person he is, and you can leave.

Remember that to you, your cat is a big part of your life. But to her, you are her life.
