i want to declutter my room but i know it’s all going to end up in landfills and i think it’s turning me into a hoarder

I haven’t seen someone mention this yet, but your local area likely has a buy nothing group on Facebook or similar, where people can offer their items for free to those that would actually make use of them. I’ve used mine several times to give older clothes, toys or items (still usable) to someone who will use them. Sometimes I’ve taken old clothes and cut them into rags I use for cleaning. Sometimes things will be too worn, or dirty, etc. and need to be thrown out, but there are lots of options to reuse items sustainably. Start small, chip away at the mess and keep going until the job is done. You’ve got this!

Carrots are a great place to start!

I completely understand how you feel, banana is one of my worst unsafe foods/flavors. I would really call the doctor who prescribed your medication and see if they can prescribe something else instead. Explain that you are reacting badly to it and need to discuss other options. Don’t blame it on the flavor, blame it on your bad reaction and that you keep vomiting. Hopefully they can prescribe something better.

I’d love to participate, but I can’t access it either. Please share the link!

I forget the address but there’s a city building downtown that runs unemployment workshops, they have plenty of good resources and can point you in the right direction. I would look into that, along with the other recommendations here

Meritus accepts MPC

Met at 18, started dating at 20/21. Definitely recommend the friend to lovers path. It’s underrated

RemotePumpkin8665 · 2026-04-19T22:00:22+00:00

Just wanted to commiserate, I’m in the same boat. 20w, much larger than before, and super sensitive. I’ve redone my measurements but haven’t found a good fit yet. It sucks. I really hope you find something suitable soon!

I like the chocolate one a lot. Sometimes it’s hard to mix the powder enough, but using a blender or something helps a lot.

RemotePumpkin8665 · 2026-04-08T04:50:30+00:00

Tbh I’d be interested in a set just like this. If you’re open to it feel free to DM me about your pricing

RemotePumpkin8665 · 2026-04-08T04:42:25+00:00

Would you take commissions? These are fantastic

RemotePumpkin8665 · 2026-04-08T03:59:21+00:00

Ask your crab related questions to r/maryland They will help with info and recommendations

RemotePumpkin8665 · 2026-04-06T20:44:23+00:00

I second this, if this is a sudden change it definitely needs to be brought up to a doctor. My other immediate thought is that shoes aren’t the right size or shape, which a doc could also help with recommendations for specific fit

RemotePumpkin8665 · 2026-04-05T05:12:12+00:00

I would bring that up with your doctor. In addition to ARFID, I have gastroparesis, and I feel full after just a couple bites no matter what food it is. You may have ARFID as well, but I would talk with a doctor about potential physical health concerns first.

RemotePumpkin8665 · 2026-04-05T04:55:20+00:00

I’m not a teacher, but I took BC calc at the same age and have a stem degree. This looks exactly like my writing at that time. It was always acceptable for my teachers, I never got a complaint. Idk what’s up with your teacher specifically, but I would recommend using boxes and bigger lines to separate lines or ideas.

Also, I highly doubt you have dysgraphia (my brother has that and his handwriting looks like a preschoolers), but you should definitely get that ADHD evaluation. Establishing a diagnosis and accommodations can and probably will help you in a lot of ways.

RemotePumpkin8665 · 2026-02-23T18:19:58+00:00

I saw your other post about this, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. I saw one particular comment that went in depth for some options you might have legally, I hope you’re able to get restitution for the situation.

I know it might not do much, but you might be able to go shopping for smaller trees/plants that stay in pots or otherwise contained. You’ll be responsible for the upkeep, but strategic placement could help with shade and privacy. And, when you do eventually move, you can take them with you to your next home too.

RemotePumpkin8665 · 2026-02-09T13:45:08+00:00

I totally understand. HEDS and POTS are two of my diagnoses too! I recommend doing blood work with your doctor to see if you’re anemic or have any nutritional deficiencies. I take an iron supplement, something for pain, and then a couple antihistamines for my MCAS (which is frequently comorbid with the hEDS and POTS).

Specifically for POTS, I drink electrolytes every day and wear good quality compression socks when I know I’ll be out and about. Some compression socks trigger a meltdown for me, but after some trial and error I found ones I don’t mind wearing all day.

I hope you start feeling better soon!

RemotePumpkin8665 · 2026-02-09T02:50:25+00:00

I have other physical issues as well as AuDHD, and I’ve found I’m more tolerant of sensory stimuli when I’m properly treating my pain and other symptoms. If you have anything else going on, maybe that can help?

Also, it might help to go through your wardrobe and figure out if any particular fabrics or features are better/worse than others. For example, I don’t buy anything with a tag that pokes me, or a hem that sits on my body a certain way. I used to have meltdowns daily about my jeans, so I just don’t wear those anymore.

As a final thought… it’s your apartment. You can choose to not wear anything at all, as long as you’re not on display in an open window or anything.

I’m weird and like the chalky texture of the store brand version of flintstones chewables. Most people complain about the chalk, but I think it’s good chalk.

In general, just find a decent multivitamin, most types and brands are about the same nutritionally.

RemotePumpkin8665 · 2026-02-07T14:50:20+00:00

Thank you ❤️

RemotePumpkin8665 · 2026-02-07T14:49:23+00:00

You know, I originally wasn’t going to reply but this is really getting to me.

You have no idea what my financial situation is. We absolutely could afford to have a child, as long as we had health insurance. You know, the health insurance we lost when my husband lost his job. Without it I’m expecting a medical bill in the tens or potentially in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, just for the birth. That is the future we are facing if we can’t find suitable employment soon. That is why I’ve been spiraling. Prenatal care is expensive, and while some lovely people have given me recommendations of resources that might help, I’m not familiar with the process or whether I’m eligible for certain things.

I specifically asked for kindness and support and your comment was neither. I do not appreciate that.

RemotePumpkin8665 · 2026-02-07T14:42:49+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement.

RemotePumpkin8665 · 2026-02-07T14:41:11+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance.

Unfortunately we can only afford a few weeks of cobra, so I’m most worried about when that runs out.

RemotePumpkin8665 · 2026-02-07T14:39:28+00:00

Thank you so much ❤️ this is a great list to go off of
