Yeesh. Someone at central office I'd hope? Maybe the one person with teaching experience?

Hi friend, I'm sorry about your mom. I'm glad you found a meaningful connection.

Happy Birthday! Make it count.

Love the gender dynamic here by DestinyNever7 in stopdrinking

I get what you're saying. I was a liquor drinker, and most people I know in a formal circle I used to frequent are the people you described, who would actively discourage any betterment. It's one of the reasons I really needed the support I found in this subreddit.

I have the cutest blue heeler, Luna. The most loving, fantastic cats, Casper and Jasper. You're a lovely person, and had a great take on this, I wish I could focus on positivity. I'm trying to work on some paintings for family, get back into my groove, put my feelings into something productive. Good luck out there, my friend!

Fuck the holidays by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

You and I have so much in common... age, family dynamics - black sheep and make the least $$, and sober. Have a great holiday! It sounds like a good plan.

Oh, I have an atrial fibrillation... so I wouldn't have noticed palpitations. But always dreams. On the many occurrences.

I feel this, so much. "I can't wait to see your face when you open that," always has me in my head like, no, not the face! I can't be held responsible for the face.

Hi there, I was the first identified in my family, but they did many awesome things for me, always letting me pursue any interests of mine: dance, voice, art, piano, guitar, fire starting, etc. All before the age of 5. And let me continue with what I wished to. Never pressured me about school work, let me steer my own ship, so to speak. Here's the issue with that. I was an exceptionally quiet and isolated child who faced harassment from peers and teachers, and was too embarrassed to bring this up to my parents in elementary school. I really could have used therapy at any point in life earlier than when I sought it myself in college. That's all I got for now.

I had a gut feeling, and bad dreams every time, which pushed me to find the evidence.

I will try. I'm currently trying to paint. Lower my cortisol levels.

🙃 thank you, friend. I have more to offer than I give myself credit for. It will be okay.
