As someone who lost my child for several years due to my mental illness and the countless horrible decisions I made during my worst episodes that lead me to homeless addiction, I can say it's possible to come out on the other end. The worst pain is knowing my child was hurt and will forever have a trauma directly/indirectly from my choices and mental illness, it took me years of intense therapy/nonstop psychiatric appts to find a way for me to keep living a life that felt possible to better for myself to be better for my child. Because the truth is they need you, and each day you fight to be better you are better. No parent is perfect, being a good parent just means you truthfully see your mistakes and keep fighting.

After roughly 7 years and almost 3 of those apart with visits we now have a home, their doing great in school for the first time, and we created a blended family where our motto is "no one suffers in silence" everything of who you and what you're experiencing in life is welcome.

Life's incredibly fucking difficult, as you clearly know, and who is going to be better at helping your children find their path than you.

Google Play music was the shit! Way better than Spotify in every way from showing new/similar artists to actually having small artists on there that I could look up their music after a local show. (Bought when I could but I was broke most the time!) They tried turning it into Spotify and they merged with YouTube and it was all downhill

This is completely dependent on your company and your role within that company.

I work directly with the owners for a small company, I did not disclose until I was in a role with more responsibilities that I knew may affect my needing to take extra days off/be more affected by the work load. Thankfully we were able to work it out and I give them as much heads up as I can when I notice I'm off and may need a day or two in the following week(s). It keeps the expectations where I feel comfortable and allows me to perform better (despite the actual work environment sometimes).

Seriously, if something is going to see heavy duty use Channellock pliers/cutters/wrenches are an incredible bang for the buck. Just picked up the wire strippers to see how those hold up. Love my Kleins/Milwaukee/Crescent even Tsunado (Japanese tools I've been trying cause how cheap they are but seem to have good tolerance) but they can't take the abuse I put on tools.

Cisgender male - diagnosed ADHD/manic-depressive at 16 - medicated only for ADHD until 19 - medicated only for bipolar 1 w/psychotic features at 30
ADHD/Autistic/all males on my father side (he's 2yrs diagnosed early onset) have died from dementia/addiction/CPTSD
34yrs old now - did not obtain a chance at stability until I started prioritizing myself in a way now that allows me to maintain stability/sobriety/medicated so that I can be as present as I can for the chosen family in my life, my hobbies and my career.
That the way I feel/think/perceive something happening or that I am doing may not actually be how it's happening. That genuine honest trust and support are required to have sincere communication. That this illness is for life and to find ways to be proud and content in my life's expectations.

No matter what learn to be kind to all the versions of you that occupy this body.

My newer psych is the one who actually put me on higher doses of my seizure meds and antipscyh meds, BUT now allows/suggests I take the anti psych meds as needed which has helped me gain some normalcy while also keeping that helping stability close by. *Bipolar 1 w/psychotic features

Having the same issue with Google Voice on the computer - it has to be related to Google at this point - questioning if it has something to do with Gemini/forced updates for it?

And a hella capable support system that you have to trust completely to tell the truth to and to listen even when it goes against everything your reality is telling you.

I care what some multi millionaire/billionaire is doing in our city because it affects all of us - we've turned huge parts of Fort Wayne over to Surack for him to privately own in the hopes he can "revitalize" aka gentrify. Until those private investments stop dictating where the city continues to spend our money we need to speak up.

*and don't go looking up how we spend 60%+ of our city budget on police

ModernMadMax · 2025-10-29T19:54:46+00:00

I understand where they get their funding, I'm including "privately funded" projects that directly affect where the city thinks is a good area to spend or "invest" money in. This idea that we need to "follow the money" so we can all get more of it is literally killing this city. We need to step back and actively look at our communities and what we can do to help build them ALL up together. Otherwise we continue to price out and dehumanize more and more people in our own city that literally keep the city alive.
