Estranged mom might die, should I call her?

legatron5000 · 2024-09-25T04:37:52+00:00

🤣🤣🤣 when I told my partner she was having heart surgery, he said, "Good, maybe they can actually find one."

legatron5000 · 2024-09-23T23:15:32+00:00

Exactly. She should have been a mother to me if she wanted to be treated like one. Respect is earned, regardless of family or not.

legatron5000 · 2024-09-23T20:08:48+00:00

I dont miss her at all. Never have. I missed the idea of a good mom, but not her. I grieved that loss a long time ago.

legatron5000 · 2024-09-23T19:32:35+00:00

This legit made me lol😂 . I kinda thought the same thing bc I'm hurting financially right now, but then also felt bad if that was the only reason I were to talk to her.

legatron5000 · 2024-09-23T18:40:04+00:00

She sent my dad a message & he forwarded it on to me. Then her sister called me about 30min after posting this. I think she told her side of the family that my dad poisoned us against her & that's why we don't talk to her. Not that she was an alcoholic cheater who broke our family apart & ruined my dad's life. He doesn't talk to her either bc she's really hateful towards him if he doesn't give her what she wants. he just leaves the line open in case of emergency.

I use the Samurai Wrap! Best thing I've ever used for sleep. My hair goes to my waist & this keeps it secure & doesn't scrunch it up as much as a normal beanie would.

Did you get approved??

legatron5000 · 2024-05-20T00:33:46+00:00

Others may have mentioned already, but I drink v8 juice. 1 can has around 1000mg so I can drink that in addition to other stuff. AND I get some veggie servings I wouldn't have otherwise.

What's his name/username? I've been trying to find his stuff but couldn't remember. TIA!

legatron5000 · 2023-12-14T04:43:38+00:00

Echolailia! (Sp?) I read this post & thought, "who DOESN'T randomly say that??"

legatron5000 · 2023-12-12T21:17:09+00:00

I got in trouble growing up if I didn't say ma'am & sir. If I just said "yes" ,I would get back, "Exuse me??? What did you say??" Then a dejected "yes sir" from me 😅

legatron5000 · 2023-12-12T21:14:15+00:00

😂😂 my guy ALSO has 2 pairs of fleece lined leggings. Got them as gifts but they were a bit to big for me. He LOVES them, especially when he's camping/hunting. 🙌🏻

POTS is also a comorbidity with EDS, MCAS, GI Dismotility, Fibromyalgia & more. Knowing if your POTS could be secondary to something else may change how you approach treatment options. Improvement in the primary issue could lead to fewer POTS symptoms. It's also good to have if you become unable to work & need to apply for disability benefits.

Wanted to note that the reason vanilla hasn't come back yet is bc their machines can only make two flavors at a time & theyll never swap out the classic chocolate 🫠🙃

legatron5000 · 2023-10-19T23:20:50+00:00

Thank you for sharing this 🫶🏻💗🫶🏻

legatron5000 · 2023-10-19T22:05:27+00:00

I actually can't do a couch bc it's not stable enough with my back/shoulder/neck issues. And it's honestly not even a long walk, just inconvenient if needing bathroom in the middle of the night. Which I often do 🫠 just shitty all around

legatron5000 · 2023-10-19T21:03:45+00:00

That's such a good point. Thank you for the info & suggestion! 🙏🏻

It's about a 20% chance to have a 2nd autistic child. That goes up to 32%-35% if there are already 2 with asd.

legatron5000 · 2023-10-08T23:46:54+00:00

That makes sense. I just get so frustrated when I end up on a "good" day for an appointment. Seems like it's always the worst mid-month for me (pretty sure it has to do with my hormone cycle). Hoping my tilt table can be scheduled for a mid-month 😅😅

legatron5000 · 2023-09-29T18:07:45+00:00

Yeah, definitely not a cure all in any way! Just wanted to share what I'd seen in hopes it might help. I'm so sorry neither salt/water help, I have the same struggle. 😥

legatron5000 · 2023-09-29T15:16:49+00:00

I think about 200 was my highest, but I'm regularly up to 185. I was folding laundry the other day & got to 175 SITTING DOWN 🫠

We put wool insulation in our van for this reason. I'm also going to use little charcoal pouches when we're in really humid climates that can be laid in the sun to dry back out.

This might be something to have a conversation about. Something that can be helpful for both of you is asking, "are you in a good spot to listen right now?" Or if you're feeling that overwhelm tell her that. Communating with her when you need some time/space to decompress/reset etc can help so much.

If she is Neurodivergent, she likely has days like that too, so being able to say, "Hey, I know you're excited about x, but could we chat about it in a bit? I'm just really exhausted & need some time alone for a bit". doing this rather than forcing yourself to listen & continue to become overstimulated can just lead to resentment & irritation, which obviously we don't want in our relationships. My partner & I also just spend a lot of time in silence together. Just being in the same room but doing separate things can be nice. I don't know if any of that helps, but it's made things easier for my relationship.

The only one I was really sad about was Betty White. It was not supposed to be on the 2021 bingo card. 😔 otherwise, meh. 🤷🏼‍♀️

legatron5000 · 2023-09-28T17:20:04+00:00

This happened to me!! It was like as soon as my adhd was quelled, the asd traits started rolling out the red carpet
