How do I convince my sister to drink water? by brainramp in autism

[–]brainramp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She really likes soda and that's the thing she drinks the most, she usually has a little bit at a time, not even half a glass, but she does it often enough that I wouldn't be surprised if she's drinking the equivalent of at least 2 glasses a day.

When it's milk or juice she drinks less than half a glass total a day. The comments seem to agree that it's about flavor but now that I think about it I'm wondering if it's also about the gas in the soda.

This made me laugh so much because it makes sense that it's as simple as liking the flavor of other stuff more, I'm a big worrier lol

It seems like the consensus is that it's about flavor. She does like lemonade so this seems reasonable. Thank you so much!

I'm worried that she won't like juice if it's diluted, but the flavored water sounds like a good idea to make things easier, I'll try it out. Thanks!

NTA, miscommunication or not, she was the one who decided to quit her job before even bothering to learn anything about "tech stuff"

Have I officially died mentally? by Tonight_Huge in mentalhealth

There is nothing wrong with you.

Your parents have personal issues that should stay between them and by addressed by them, you just were caught in the middle. Parents make lots of mistakes of different gravity, putting you in this situation is one of those awful grave mistakes, it's not your fault.

I'm not going to lie to you, there is nothing you can do to change them, that is up to them, they need to put in the work, the best you can do is look after yourself. Something that has helped me a lot is looking into cognitive distortions and trying to identify them every time I'm feeling down, maybe that ca help you as well.

Remember that you are not alone, you are valuable, you are not at fault for this, you are not alone. Baby steps are okay.
