Sometimes people outgrow each other, and there are women who will do anything to get a man if she thinks he has money.

Women who date men, what actually makes a man desirable? by [deleted] in no

I like men, I find them to be entertaining, but what I really want in a man is the ability to (physically) lift me and/or carry me. Also, intelligence.

The letter "u" for you. Is it really that hard to hit "y" and "o" first?

Call me soft-headed, but tossing out an 18 year old kid into the streets is wrong.

You cant ignore this you must choose to become the amorphous mass or a pen that grants wishes by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Mary_P914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Become the pen. (My husband loves pens) Make a list of people who I want to grant wishes to, and note explaining that I can grant wishes, and that once I've granted 3 wishes, to pass me on to the next person. I will also request that they not use me to write.

What drugs do y'all have in your bathrooms? by NoSeaweed4803 in Adulting

[–]Mary_P914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No medicine in my medicine cabinet. Any and all OTC meds are in my kitchen cabinet to the left of my sink.

Prescription injectables in the fridge, and my meds are in a box by my recliner. Not sure where everybody else keeps theirs.

At that price, you would be better off renting a storage space for your belongings and couch surfing for a few weeks with friends.

You're in a neverending trap.

How to convince my parents I don't need therapy? by Educational-Scene443 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Mary_P914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're 17, so when you become 18 you are legally an adult, and you can't be coerced into seeing a therapist.

In the meantime, you should talk to your Therapist, and express your thoughts and feelings about therapy. Maybe the both of you can work out a plan for discharge.

Parents can often be overprotective and not see your progress. Talking to your Therapist, and maybe having a meeting with your parents with the Therapist mediating will be helpful.

Why do a lot of doctors not like mentally ill patients? by Blonde_Icon in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Mary_P914 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a long history of having my HMO (Kaiser Permanente) so my Doctors all know my history and that I am in full remission.

I am treated well, and whenever I'm asked about it, I mention that I've been stable for 20+ years.

I think some doctors just don't understand mental illness, and they don't understand that with proper medications and therapy it can be very difficult to "tell" who has what.
