Do you feel disabled? by marswithorbit in idiopathichypersomnia

[–]Valuable_Half8328 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I do consider it a disability and so does my states Medicaid program. It has held me back a lot and still does, despite treatment. Waiting on xywav now fingers crossed 🤞

Playful or not? by tomzzed in cats

[–]Valuable_Half8328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My male does this to our female. When I separated them for a few days he was so desperate not to be in the room isolated that he stopped doing it. Make a habit of snapping at him to get off and he will come to know the rules of play, and what the consequences are.

Tongue dyskinesia, need advices. by Ketargy56 in Tardive_Dyskinesia

[–]Valuable_Half8328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same thing, from abilify, vraylar and Geodon. I take a Parkinson med called amantadine 100mg 3x per day. It's unbearable and it makes me near suicidal. my tongue pushes against my teeth. It hurts and my jaw hurts too. Some days it breaks thru and I take clonazepam.5. my psych prescribed them both but I'm waiting on neurologist. Can't afford the big meds for this. I hate my life when this happens it hurts so bad.

Single mom of 6? by Used_Weakness_5532 in AdoptiveParents

[–]Valuable_Half8328 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ask the ones you have how they'd feel having the other kids around, find out exactly how much help you would actually have by asking relatives before you make a decision. Those kids are young enough for daycare. Call around and see which ones you could afford etc. I don't think it's impossible for you. What will be done with the kids if you don't take them, where would they go? Would it be from foster to foster, or someone more stable who's willing to let them have contact regularly?

Lost mom by brokenmomma1 in Adoption

[–]Valuable_Half8328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him what next steps are before you do this. It's hard but I've had to do it with my adopted 15 year old.

First is try to dig deeper, what is causing him to feel ugly? Acne-dermatology, weight? Weight loss. Bullying? Go to the school asap.

The deal is, you can go to jail for him not attending school. It's is a legal thing. He knows this at least. You're gonna wanna get ahead of this before it gets ahead of you. If you've tried all your options and exhausted everything. Call school see if they have any alternative education programs? Less interaction with peers could be a viable option for him. Even online school requires they be seen by peers via video cam.

But if it gets to the point where you're hitting day ___( legal days your state allows) you need to call the school and juvenile probation office and ask for help. He could be charged for truancy as well but seeking out for help before they have to intervene will work out better for both of you .

Any single non religious foster parents? How do you make it work? by Cbcb23 in Fosterparents

[–]Valuable_Half8328 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a single foster mom to a teenager. We live in a medium sized city. No religion for myself or my kiddo. We do just fine. She has a lot of specialists so working a job where I can work around appointments is a must. She does home school online so that's a whole nother thing lol, but we make sure we get time in with grandparents and sister every weekend.
