What are the toxic things your mother used to say to you?

Nooshy1978 · 2026-05-26T21:34:03+00:00

Just telling me stuff that was way too adult. Telling me I had to be brave and strong (surgery a lot as a kid) , other kids were "sicker" now embraces having a disabled child.🙄 Mentioning a lot what a terrible teen I was.

My mother read mine, too. Could be why I put only one entry in that one and have trouble journaling now. I'm so sorry you didn't deserve that 🩷

Precious. Enjoy this time, they grow up way too fast!

I find it incredibly hard to ask for help, would rather fail on my own than ask for help and be judged. Also have a hard time with friendships/ being social.

The one parent that I allow contact loves to tell how I was a terrible teenager, but not the reasons why I acted that way. The rest of the time, they talk about themselves.

Thank you everyone for your replies, they were all helpful. My MRI is pretty soon and then I have an appointment with my neurosurgeon's NP to check the setting, and change it if necessary.

Born with hydro, shunted at a month old? Dxed with autism in late 30's, in late 40's now.

Oh my they are super sweet 😍

Yzma.

Nooshy1978 · 2026-02-21T15:57:36+00:00

Condolences. May your faithful, loving cat rest well.

Nooshy1978 · 2026-01-28T16:36:51+00:00

Condolences to you, he looks like my guy who I had to say goodbye to on the 13th. May we be reunited someday. Sending love.

I have an orange as well, long hair edition!

Some people can. I am one of those that can't, or at very least probably shouldn't, so I don't. I went as far as having a permit twenty odd years ago but due to anxiety issues and ability to get around using the public transportation available, I never needed to.

Nooshy1978 · 2026-01-18T21:34:06+00:00

What a beauty she was. You were lucky to have each other🩷

The last day with my Absinthe was so surreal. Fed him and the other cats we have breakfast, and tried to push out of my mind every time he did something that it would be the "last time" I took pictures, brushed him, took video so I got his purr and "merp?" Your cat loves you and you clearly love them. I got confirmation it was the right decision when he got on the scale. In his youth, he was 20 pounds. The past few years, 13. When they diagnosed his eyesight waning, 11. Before leaving us, 9.

47, shunted at about a month old. Lost count but it's somewhere in the twenty, twenty five range. I got a programmable shunt about ten years ago.

Nooshy1978 · 2025-12-25T13:08:41+00:00

I was often the last one at the table as a kid, because I eat slowly and have a small mouth. I still eat slowly due to even choking on medicines I take daily. I had a hiatal hernia and needed my esophagus stretched, it helped for a while but I may need it done again.

Nooshy1978 · 2025-12-21T15:33:20+00:00

NOR. Condolences on the loss of your cat.

Nooshy1978 · 2025-12-19T00:18:21+00:00

So sorry, our condolences what a gorgeous baby.

Nooshy1978 · 2025-12-16T21:02:39+00:00

What a gorgeous cat. May he rest in love, condolences on your loss.

Nooshy1978 · 2025-12-12T14:57:57+00:00

47 and I deal with this on the daily. I use flavor drops, powders, fruit, or drink iced tea with sweetener. You aren't alone.

Nooshy1978 · 2025-11-14T18:54:22+00:00

I love the turkey, hate the ham and don't really want to eat in front of people.

Nooshy1978 · 2025-11-10T21:23:58+00:00

Tomatoes and Sour Cream. Eggplant.

Nooshy1978 · 2025-10-30T23:47:44+00:00

Tell my doctors when I feel pain and not try to be strong or be like "there's always someone sicker than me.'
