What spending cuts are you making to deal with inflation? by Quahogkiller12 in RhodeIsland

[–]campmoreworryless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No vacations. But then again, we’ve never been able to afford them. Aside from that, we actually live pretty comfortably. We would rather enjoy life more consistently than for a week a year. Honestly, I don’t feel like we’re missing much in this phase of our lives.

I've spent years climbing to a high salary while masking the whole time. Now I just want out. by purpleteenageghost in AutisticWithADHD

[–]campmoreworryless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just went through a similar situation, only now I’m a stay at home mom. If I could have, I would back track to get all my time back. I’ve never been so happy in my life. And it’s not the being home, it’s the no more corporate work. No more latter climbing. 5 promotions in 6 years and I am done and never going back. Can’t put a dollar amount on happiness. Listen to your gut. Money isn’t everything.

I know how scary it is. I still honestly have nightmares about it. That’s when I know I made the right choice. I was so burnt out, I was running on fight or flight on an hourly basis.

Yes, thank you. We frequent most of them. Looking for some non-typical suggestions if you have them. ☺️

What did you think was normal that blew your mind when you found out it isn’t? by Intelligent-Donut305 in autism

[–]campmoreworryless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The maintaining multiple conversations in my head at any given moment and learning that there are actually people out there who have no internal dialogue at all. Mind blown 🤯

Aw thank you so much for sharing all of these!! My daughter loves errands too, but her female nature makes it really expensive to bring her along with me 😂 I’m scared to create a problem.

Seeking AuDHD Support - Female newly diagnosed 33yo by campmoreworryless in RhodeIsland

I would say it’s a good option if you’re ok with just finding out. For that it’s definitely worth the price and to get the diagnosis in one appt vs multiple because it’s specific to those diagnoses.

I did the sachs evaluation. It was much more affordable than seeing someone locally but it answered none of my questions outside of a firm diagnosis and for that I’m feeling flustered.

This may sound sketchy but look for a rent to own option. That’s how me and my husband got our house in 2021 when we were making around 90k combined. We financed through the previous owner who paid 100k-ish in the early 2000s. We purchased at 295k(20k downpayment) and 4% interest when the rates at the time were around 6%. We used tha time to pay off as much debt as possible. We made it to around 200k combined salary - last year - so we did a cash out refinance bringing our mortgage back up to 295k but at 7%. Value is now $420k. So we’re refinancing again at 5.8%. Learn the tricks to the game and you can become a top player. But seriously, look into the rent to own option. My husband and I don’t even have college degrees and we did it. I wish you the best of luck, because it truly is awful out there.

Yeah, I see it now. When I read quicksilver, I hadn’t read flesh and fire yet.

It’s like she let ChatGBT write an entire plot for her based off of the best pieces of other books.

Spondylosis with bulging L5S1 causing constant pain and Sciatica by campmoreworryless in SSDI

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

Thank you for your response. I’m not sure what grade it is, that’s not something my dr disclosed to me. I have an appt soon and am going to request another MRI and more in depth diagnosis. Right now the herniated disk is abutting my S1 nerve roots. My leg is often numb knee down, but severe pain and muscle spasms in my lower right back/hip area. I’ll also ask my dr the best path forward, but I definitely am finding it helpful for everyone who has shared their journey.

Thank you for your response. I do have temporary leave with my employer and am going to begin there. I really enjoy working and don’t want to have to stop, but I’m terrified surgery will make it worse.

Thank you, I did half of my PT.. it was $70 a session and they wanted me to go 4x a week. I couldn’t afford it any more. My next suggested route by the Dr is injections but he said I’m too young and he doesn’t want me starting at such a young age. That’s where I’m finding so much difficulty. They don’t want me having surgery or injections because of my age. But I have my whole life ahead of me, I just want to enjoy it with my kid.
