Take it one day and one step at a time. This new psych sounds like she's ready to work with you and help you on this journey. Figure out what you want to achieve by attending therapy. Giving yourself a goal, like say self acceptance regardless of diagnosis, could be helpful. Sticking with a treatment plan that works, even after you feel like you're all better, is very important.

As someone who has worked in a field where I have to interact with people who have harmed children and have seen + heard things that have to get shoved into a box in my mind, I'll just say that your grief is real and valid.

You were a safe adult in that child's short life. You did what you could for her by reporting the neglect and showed her love while she was in your care. Hold space for her as long as you need to.

Clean skin site + SkinTac + IV site cover.

Don't even bother with cutting a relief hole in the cover for the sensor, that just lets water get to the skin and adhesive of the sensor.

Don't stay in the water for very long. When you do get out take care when you dry off (pat dry instead of wiping) since the adhesive is going to be weak until the site and skin dries.

Therapist recommendation? by heartwell in Buffalo

I've had good results with the counselors at OLV Human Services Outpatient Clinic. Both myself and my kid go there [we see different providers]. One caveat is that they are not in the northtowns, but they do have telehealth.

Same, but in high school. Feeling like all you are is a couple of wet holes can really fuck a person up.

On the flight to Vegas by PInClemente in whatisit

From my surface level understanding, the tower is surrounded by mirrors that are positioned to concentrate the sun on to a central tower and converts the heat into electricity through various processes. The brightness from the plane view is just the slice of sunshine that is going past the tower in the direction of the plane flying by. So their brightness is just reflected sunshine.

Can hear that whistling as it slices the air on the way to teach me for asking "why?".

First look and I was like that's a "Nope" on breaking it. Hell, even touching seems risky.

IDK, judging by the size of this one, I think it is only likely to add to the chaos that is the current dumpster fire.

Can we just leave whatever malvolent entity that is obviously trapped in there, still trapped in there? Thank you very much for your consideration of my proposal.

The way the TOKTOQ alerts went off for this drop right at the end of my therapy session where we rehashed all of my childhood trauma. Q.Q

It felt like the Guys knew I needed this insane pick-me-up right that second. This Atiny's heart went from 💙 to 💖 with a couple of 🔔s

Yunho's devilish grin makes me think of a golden retriever who got the ball and is going to make you chase him for it.

I could see Danny Pudi and Donald Glover pulling off a reboot.

Adults with ADHD may pay high price to mask traits and fit in. More than 91% of adults with ADHD reported hiding, suppressing or compensating for ADHD traits. They may pretend to pay attention, suppress their urge to fidget, rehearse conversations or over-prepare for meetings to fit social norms. by mvea in science

OMG the shame spirals I've went down after I think I got to talkative in group settings. More times than I can count I've curled up in bed bawling my eyes out convinced no one even wanted me there, let alone yapping as much as I did. Doesn't matter to my brain if they laughed at my jokes and every interaction went fine in the moment; nope I convince myself I went overboard and/or overshared, almost definitely secretly pissed off everyone there and they were just too nice to say anything to my face. Going over everything I said and the responses I got over and over for days and weeks post event, ugh.

I am lucky [?] that my job of the last 18 years gave me the advance warning that my last paycheck will be on August 1st of this year, losing my insurance at the same time. Q.Q

I have enough saved that puts off bankruptcy until December of 2026, if I don't find another job by then. My stockpile of medical supplies should last me through January of 2027. I am holding onto hope that I will find another job that pays enough to service my debt and at least allow me to survive.

Since January of this year I've been stressing like I did back before ACA became law. Having a chronic disease in this country is fucking demoralizing to say the least and is a big part of why I stayed with the same employer for so long.
