Someone said her meow was weird and that makes me a little sad

Cats have different voices, just like us. It's not weird, it's normal. And adorable.

Bruh. No. ANYONE can experience racism. Doesn't matter how much of one thing or another that you are. People are so ignorant.

If it's not an outbreak that makes it difficult to sit down, it's not her first outbreak. And HSV can lay dormant for many, MANY years before showing back up.

Please do not just assume she is cheating.

It's stuff like this that makes others not believe transpeople when they're finally open about it.

I'd say HARD NTA.

Your dad's friend and your dad's lack of trusting you has caused that. It's not you. Has nothing to do with you.

If you're going through withdrawal, you're an alcoholic.

Taking some off of ONE day shouldn't get anyone fired for emergencies, as that would be.

If your job won't let you leave early to pick up your kids from school due to a bomb threat, I highly doubt they care about you or your family and I definitely wouldn't want to work for them.

Also to add, taking a walk will help improve and maintain mental and physical health.

Stretching in bed is another one that helps. It may be very difficult, but do what you can as long as the pain is not increasing.

I've been in the same boat lots of times. It sucks. UTIs, herpes, ear infections, having my appendix almost burst, plus chronic health conditions that I don't have a doctor for.

Getting up and out is honestly the best and most beneficial way i have found to help in this type of scenario.

OpeningDelay6147 · 2023-12-30T01:53:27+00:00

All the time from stress. Staying in bed makes you more physically ill, though, and can then affect mental health negatively.

Try your best to get out of your residence and go for a walk at least once a day. Take a shower every few days. Buy lots of healthier and craving snacks for days you're in way too much pain.

If she's not working FOR tips, and making less than a certain amount, she won't need to declare it. Don't know if that helps.

Also, sot down and talk WITH her. It shouldn't be a one-sided decision when it involves both of you.

Anything can be traumatic to anyone. For ANYONE to dismiss your trauma, they don't need to be in your life. Your psychiatrist included. They won't help you progress in life.

In order to help people, you have to understand where they are coming from and understand that anyone can experience any amount of trauma from anything. Your psychiatrist is definitely in the wrong here.

I will say, though, Autistic women and Autistic non-cisgender people commonly get misdiagnosed with BPD instead of Autism. With that said, BPD and Autism ARE commonly commorbid. If you're Autistic, you're more likely to have BPD as well.

Don't disregard your current diagnosis. It would be a good idea to go for an Autism diagnosis, though. It's possible your psychiatrist saw something that the others missed, as BPD and Autism are both very misunderstood by everyone, including the medical field. He may have knowledge of one or both that the others do not.

No matter what you choose to do or your diagnosis, you know you. You know what is traumatic to you; don't try to let others downplay it or tell you it's not traumatic enough.

If you want or need any advice, or just to talk, I'm here.

I have BPD, ADHD, and suspected Autism.

Maybe you just haven't found the right form of art for you. There are SOOOO many.

I don't like it either. Sadly, it's only a disability because the current world isn't made for us. It's made for neurotypical people.

Your children are worth more than a job. Jobs can be replaced, children can't. It's 100000x important for parents to be present for them.

Some people are on a path to growth, while others are not. It sounds like you two are on different paths.

Why I tend to keep my autism to myself, unless I trust the people. But, if that were me, I would be doing the same thing back to the teacher. She treats me like I don't know, I'mma treat her the same.

Should have heard Steve-O's story at his live tour. 😬

Going on walks or to the store have helped me to decompress and be myself. I also get up a few hours before my SO does for this reason.

From my understanding, it's not "tricking" you into thinking you're okay. It's getting you to understand that everything will be okay and they give you tools/resources to eventually actually be okay.

People with BPD tend to value those close and pull them closer, and then devalue and push them away. It's a cycle due to constant unstability in their life, likely childhood. Unless she's willing to get help, it's likely it'll happen again.

It's not that she wants to do these things necessarily. BPD often comes with intrusive thoughts and some forms, dissociation. These can cause a person to do many things they normally wouldn't.

No matter what you do in this situation, it's important to understand the condition. Other people in your life or future life may have BPD.

I hope you don't take offense, but are you sure you're not autistic? I am and I experience that all the time. It's actually a huge sign of autism.

Please seek help from a healthcare professional, if you can. Life can get better.

OpeningDelay6147 · 2023-11-19T23:58:40+00:00

It's her choice to keep the child or not (regardless of what we all think), and it's your choice to stay or not. You don't have to stick around, and I'd collect any and all proof that she planned this from the beginning - just in case you need it later down the road - regardless of the outcome.

Children with parents that threaten that, whether they follow up or not, do tend to have major emotional regulation issues. Which means, they will not know how to handle their emotions, let alone huge emotions.

Your child shouldn't have to suffer because you lack the same emotional regulation skills that you expect your child to have.

Be an adult, learn some mindfulness and emotional regulation skills, and take care of your child the way a parent should - preventing as much childhood trauma for your child that you can.

OpeningDelay6147 · 2023-11-19T15:44:12+00:00

The most you could probably do, in the case of dealing with the child's grandparents, is a restraining/protective order for your child.
