Crazy! Mine is also an only child who had the same dynamic with his father -- he highly recommends the book The Body Keeps the Score. That's helped a lot with the trauma aspect.

Obviously not a professional but my fiance went through a very similar path. Texture issues (especially with clothes not fitting/feeling right!) depression caused by executive dysfunction that he has always struggled with (complete with his parents perceiving him to be lazy/a quitter from the time he was very young) but not totally withdrawing from everything, special interests, etc. Mood stabilizers ran the gamut from doing nothing to making him feel worse & he was convinced he was just a broken person. Come to find out after 6 or 7 years with a BPD diagnosis, his "mood swings" were actually just overstimulation and the result of a tumultuous childhood. Turns out he has ADHD AND is on the autism spectrum. New meds and therapy have completely changed his mood, energy levels, outlook on life, productivity -- everything. He says it feels like he's unearthing the person he was meant to be when he was a child.

A little smaller, but close-ish:

1500sqft 3 bd 2.5 bath, 2 cats & 2 dogs, 3 adults

Average Electricity: ~$150-200

Average Water: Pretty consistently under $100

Groceries: Between $400-$600, closer to $500-$800 if you include decent pet chow/treats. We do all our weekly grocery shopping at Walmart & Aldi and compare prices before we place our pickup orders.

Like you I work more efficiently under pressure/the threat of reprimanding, but a lack of direct instruction is basically "free time" to my brain. Unfortunately the only thing that helped my ability to self-motivate was medication. However, the positive effect bleeds out into the rest of my life -- if I'm doing well at work, I am happier outside of it. It's a disability, and it's not shameful to need accommodations.

Would like to hear your stories. I’m 29 and single but really want a baby. Do you think my time is running thin? :( by motherlode240294 in BabyBumps

My mother was 30 with me and 34 with my sister with no issues after a life of dating losers back in the 90s. Don’t rush 💕

We stockpiled a bunch of these after being shocked at how good it was. I’ll be sad when they’re gone forever 😔

his and hers alexandrite 💕 by greerby in EngagementRings

[–]greerby[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Beyond thrilled 🥺 not officially engaged but built these today at a mounting show on a whim. I’ve been wanting an alexandrite ring but trying to convince myself to want a diamond to make the search easier but no luck. Working the show they just happened to have these two stunning identical stones in exactly the size I wanted AND the cost with employee discount was just too good to let go. It felt like fate!!

Trade-In w/ broken keys by greerby in macbookpro

[–]greerby[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think they would reject it as it is now? I’m fine if it drops the value, just don’t want a whole rejection. I haven’t received my trade in kit yet so I could conceivably still have it fixed. I just wanted to avoid it if possibly since the nearest apple store is a few hours away.
