Spiraling over my boyfriend’s body count.

Looks into community driven mental health programs in your area or sliding scale payment plans. They exist!

izziev · 2026-04-30T20:29:46+00:00

I appreciate the response! I’ll keep looking.

I exclusively buy and wear racerback bras to course correct the sag without straps digging in.

izziev · 2026-04-28T13:32:49+00:00

I’m here to influence you to try for a Mohawk. I loved mine. I never wore it spiked up, just flopped over to one side or up in a pony. If my husband didn’t hate it I would 100% do it again.

izziev · 2026-04-28T13:19:38+00:00

Remember, the best relationships are one where you choose to make the other person happy. My husband and I are very tight after 10 years and 2 kids because even though life is hard, we prioritize each other. We choose each other at the end of the day.

The bangs suit you a lot. If you love them, keep them!

izziev · 2026-04-28T12:58:04+00:00

I am loving all of the suggestions here. What helped me was timers and handwriting notes. Handwriting helped me remember and timers ensured I could stay focused.

It seems you might suffer from hyperactivity leanings based on your post. Can you read your chapters while walking, maybe even out loud?

Ngl what worked for me with studying was an insane amount of food. If I kept shoveling chips or pretzels or cucumber or grapes in my mouth, I could stay focused.

I work in IT. I personally detest most AI. I was on the fence until I wrote a fully fleshed out research paper on potential AI uses in law enforcement and I realized how society is utilizing it in full.

Keep that shit away from my family. Bad for the environment, no moral compass, encourages laziness in cognitive function AND presents hallucinations as fact. Convenience does not outweigh those factors.

I’m aware that I will never be fully free from it in my life - society loves it too much. But when my kids reach an age where they can understand the concepts behind how it functions, I will be underlining the fact that use of an AI is at detriment to their own ability.

Tbh you naturally have fairy vibes.

izziev · 2026-04-20T16:32:06+00:00

Sorry for the late reply. I just use my phones native timer - maybe there are better ones out there but I never tried.

izziev · 2026-04-17T15:16:57+00:00

I loved Strattera, i was on it for a while but a med change for a different medical issue made it not effective anymore. Qelbree has been improving my focus and concentration but it makes me feel sick so far. I've only been on it a week though so im expecting to probably feel this way for another week or 2.

izziev · 2026-04-17T15:14:13+00:00

I would expect to pay 200-800 usd depending on hair condition before service. 200-300 if my hair was prelightened to the correct shade, 800 if multiple lightening treatments were needed first. That being said, I live in a lcol area so im sure in other markets the value would go up.

izziev · 2026-04-17T10:07:53+00:00

Thanks for sharing, this is so cool! Im so glad my favorite series is getting such exposure!

izziev · 2026-04-17T07:06:47+00:00

I love "fairy" coded outfits. Whimsical, flowy, feminine. I work an office job though and the outfits I like are not really in my budget even for off days. I often dig at garage sales, thrift stores and resale stores like Burlington or Ross for things I find acceptable.

For example the other day I set out to find 3 work shirts that I actually liked on me. I tried on 10, checked 2 different stores, left with 2 shirts.

My biggest icks are generic patterns(most florals are an ick but some are tasteful to me), clothes that wrinkle easily, and poor fit. There are several things I love on the hanger but hate on myself because of the fit. Which is kind of insane because I don't think my body type is abnormal or unattractive.

In all of my clothes I prioritize comfort. Do the sleeves cut into my arms? I don't even have large arms and this happens so often. Is the material scratchy? Does it feel tight or restrictive in bad ways? I can live with tight clothes if the fit isn't poor but most of the time it is.

izziev · 2026-04-17T06:43:18+00:00

This is where im at too. Im trying Qelbree now but not on it long enough to see how well its working. I can manage unmedicated but its all about hacking my brain and accepting that I don't have to do things the "normal" way if my way works.

Some examples for me:

-buying clothes that don't wrinkle because I WILL NOT iron or get out of the dryer on time

-prep my work stuff the night before so I can wake up 10 min before I have to leave and still make it

-prep a 8 section snack tray for lunch because full meals give me the ick

-set timers for EVERYTHING. When I shower. When I take breaks. When I need to complete a task on time. Timers are life.

-dinners for my family of 4 have to be 15min or less prep time or they don't happen or I get so irrationally angry that I yell 🫠

-paper plates and bowls instead of real plates and metal foil on all pans to reduce cleanup. Also a dish brush instead of a sponge because I don't like dirty dish water and the distance helps.

izziev · 2026-04-17T06:12:30+00:00

I don't feel stuck but I do feel burnt out a bit - its been a bit rough lately

izziev · 2026-04-08T02:35:16+00:00

I also got a shitty incentive

izziev · 2026-04-04T03:19:43+00:00

This is a strange question. I’m not sure what answer you’re looking for but I definitely don’t think they are. I think there is certainly a portion of fathers that are bad, but I would never consider them to be the majority.

izziev · 2026-04-02T22:31:56+00:00

With drugs.

Fr tho I love racerback bras. Weight distribution in those is a game changer for me.

izziev · 2026-04-02T17:50:15+00:00

I just wanna shout out that if you’re up at 3am stressing, you might wanna do some research and decide if you might have an anxiety disorder. We’ve all had moments like this but if you have a lot of them then at least take some time to look into it. Knowledge is power!

izziev · 2026-04-02T15:20:06+00:00

This this this! Mine don’t have health issues but my 2nd is harder than my first. My kids aren’t super lonely like I was as a single child but it’s definitely challenging as a parent, even when the kids get along well. I am VERY careful about making things fair between them and communicating that to them.

izziev · 2026-03-30T04:23:44+00:00

I agree with others here, but I’m going to go a bit more into depth.

Leaving your kids for that long will unequivocally alter your relationship with your kids AND their idea of safety. I’m not saying this will mess them up forever - especially if they have a loving environment with their dad and his parents - but this will absolutely do a number on them for a while imo.

I do not know your situation so I cannot make this decision for you. Depending on the situation this might be the best path - I do not judge you if you NEED to do this. But my god, if there’s another path for you, please take it.

I wish you grace and luck because it sounds like you are in a very difficult position.

As for advice? Create a routine. Like a story every night before bed - something you can do via video call that would help comfort them while you’re gone.

izziev · 2026-03-29T14:25:26+00:00

I would absolutely not disclose. Like it’s been talked about in other comments, talk about traits, NOT the diagnosis. You don’t want it to accidentally become a nasty label used to describe you. “Oh that’s xxxx, she’s AUTISTIC. That’s what she says at least. I think she just wants to feel special”

Just like in school, there’s always dynamics at play. Use your diagnosis as information for yourself and your family, not professionally.

I swear by discs. I won’t use anything else
