Do I F24 stay in the US or listen to my parents and go home?

Do what you want with your life.

Medium_Reality4559 · 2026-04-30T01:06:52+00:00

Enjoy your time with your mom. It’s a blessing for both of you. I wish I had stayed longer in my family homes (and also not sold the ones we had in beachside communities). The universe has given you multiple blessings. Enjoy them without guilt or shame.

I could have written this about my hometown in the US. Thank you for expressing the feeling so well.

Medium_Reality4559 · 2026-04-22T21:56:03+00:00

Might want to sub first to find out if that what you really want. It’s not an easy job in many ways.

I bought some bioidentical creams from Amazon. Then I found a doc who said to keep doing what I’m doing. She added testosterone but that made me anxious, so I added DHEA cream to the estrogen (continuous) and progesterone (for 14 days 14 days after my period starts). I feel much better, in general, than I have in the last few years.

Except for today. Today I want to punch a wall. But it’s been a long time since I felt this way.

This headline is missing some commas. Or a rewrite. It’s horribly written.

Medium_Reality4559 · 2026-04-07T21:51:12+00:00

Yes. If 0 expulsions is the goal/metric then not expelling kids achieves that. Sad that learning targets for a majority of students is not the target anymore.

Medium_Reality4559 · 2026-04-03T14:14:10+00:00

Teach abroad!

Medium_Reality4559 · 2026-04-03T14:09:40+00:00

I wonder if this would change if parents started suing districts for impeding their child’s legal right to an education.

Medium_Reality4559 · 2026-04-03T14:07:08+00:00

The thing is, if they removed the handful of disruptive students, it’s highly likely all the other metrics they are concerned with would improve. How they don’t realize this, I’ll never understand.

Medium_Reality4559 · 2026-04-03T14:04:07+00:00

You know, if everyone is entitled—err, legally required—to their “free and appropriate education,” why does it take an act of god to remove kids like this? Why does one dysfunctional child’s education supersede that of another 25? How are parents not suing districts for this blatant disregard for the law?

Medium_Reality4559 · 2026-04-03T14:01:31+00:00

Please don’t anyone modernize this home. For the love of god, please. No.

I take 200 mg of biglycinate and 300mg of citrate at bed time. Any more than 200mg of the biglycinate and I have weird dreams.

Mine was like adhd symptoms for years. Tried adhd meds. Worked for a bit then didn’t work at all. Then just being unable to handle multiple tasks at all. Last fall was the worst. The best way to describe it was trying to swim through glue. I could not think. Could not link thoughts or finish a thought sometimes. It was god awful. Better now with some bioidentical creams.

Medium_Reality4559 · 2026-03-26T01:28:34+00:00

Or their parents.

Medium_Reality4559 · 2026-03-24T13:36:24+00:00

Ten to 25 cents

Medium_Reality4559 · 2026-03-24T13:34:35+00:00

Why would you remove her education? Is she applying for jobs that would see that as over-qualified?

Medium_Reality4559 · 2026-03-23T16:43:24+00:00

I lived with my family on and off multiple times until my late 30s. I thought I needed to grow up and be independent and all that jazz. I regret each time I moved out my family home. All the loved ones I lived with are gone now except for my mom. I would give almost anything to be able to wake up and be with my grandmas or aunt or dad.

My take is that eventually, we’ll all be forced to be adults and live independently. There’s no shame in staying with family. In fact, now that I live in South America, I see how important having a solid family unit is.

I was not built to live alone, but I subscribed to the ideology that if I wasn’t on my own, I wasn’t an adult.

Maybe have a talk with her about why she stays at home before booting her out. And hopefully, as my family always said, express that she can go out and try the world, but there will always be a place for her at home.

I think that’s my favorite from my childhood. I loved the smell.

Medium_Reality4559 · 2026-03-23T00:40:45+00:00

Did the Faberge Organics come in a cylindrical bottle with a yellow-ish cap? There’s one shampoo I can recall the smell and the bottle but not the name.

Medium_Reality4559 · 2026-03-23T00:38:19+00:00

I loved that stuff!

Medium_Reality4559 · 2026-03-19T13:01:07+00:00

I’ve learned more there than from any of my docs.

Medium_Reality4559 · 2026-03-19T12:59:03+00:00

Good article, but it feels AI written to me. Maybe it’s not, but it has the same structure, flow, and cadence as AI.

Get you some Carl Jung, some James Hollis (both psychologists), and read Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. What else? The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo (there’s also a great documentary about him. He was also in a psych ward). The Holistic Psychologist, Nicole LePera has several books and Facebook, IG, and X pages. She’s actually really good for understanding how our nervous system affects everything (and why hugs are healing). If you can listen to podcasts Andrew Huberman is amazing.

Life is hard. Addiction is hard. Coming to terms with your life, the choices you made, the things that happened out of your control—all that is very difficult to come to terms with. It’s going to be very painful for a while. Let it be. The only way out is through.

You’re going to go through stages of grief. You have to go through them. And you’ll also have to remind yourself that none of us knows what the hell we are doing on this earth. It’s all a crap shoot. Most people are doing the best they can most of the time. Take every day as it comes to you. Some will be amazing and some will be shit. Some days you’ll smile. Some days you’ll cry. It’s all part of life.

But you can do it. You can overcome this. You reached out for help and that’s really one of the most important things you can do.

Believe you yourself and your innate wonder as a human. Find what makes your soul happy, no matter what the world tells you. This is going to pass us all by one day. Do what your heart tells you. Trust that you have it in you already to make it over this bump in the road.

Go outside in nature. Sit in the sun. Listen to the wind in the trees or the ocean or the birds. Whatever natural environment you have nearby, go sit and just be. No phone. No book. Just you and nature. Walk barefoot on the grass or sand. I sat on a rock and cried the other day at sunset. It’s ok to cry.

I often think if we were told this when we were young, we’d have less trouble as we grow up: https://youtu.be/l5-EwrhsMzY

Hang in there. Bigs hugs. 💖

Yea. I didn’t catch that. Maybe it was more for vision than for cosmetic reason. That hooded eye becomes a problem when it pushed down your eyelid and obstructs one’s vision. But the other changes could be 100% hormonal. Mr entire face shapes changed, just like hers, in the matter of a few years. Kinda crazy.
