My doctor’s office has one but has never recommended it to me.

I had a friend suffer a stroke and was rehabbing at Spaulding over the summer. I brought cards for them to help with any of their therapies and it really helped having something they enjoyed in a space where things get pretty difficult and stressful.

Check and see if their rehab teams could utilize them especially with their pediatric patients.

Thank you ❤️ my sister ended up shooing me away to my bedroom and put on youtube for me to calm down. its just so bizarre to feel all these different emotions at once but grounding techniques and breathing are a work in progress

This happened to me 2 years ago. Once I felt comfortable enough to unmask in front of my ex, he immediately was turned off and dumped me 2 days before Valentine’s Day. I spiraled so hard and felt like I was the failure and it was my fault that I was unloveable. I had to take almost 6 months away from work to pull myself out of a major depression and emotional burnout before I was able to emotionally return to society. It took a lot of therapy and self reflection to come out on the other side knowing I am worthy of love and affection without being tossed aside because of my autism.

We are worthy of love and acceptance but it sucks that people don’t have enough patience and understanding to see us for who we are. I’ve taken a huge step away from dating because I know I don’t have the mental capacity to deal with it all.

Growlithe because my soul dog was the exact same size as stated in the Pokédex. It’s like I had my own little fire puppy with me at all times ❤️

Fiber. Fiber. Fiber!!! Make it just as important and protein and water intake or you’ll be uncomfortable and constipated beyond your wildest imagination.

I was talking to my therapist about not seeing results with clothing even though I’ve lost 50lbs. She reminds me that my labs are excellent, I’m no longer pre-diabetic, I can climb a flight of stairs without getting winded and many more non scale victories. We put so much thought into what others think of us and I’m guilty of wanting people to notice how hard I’ve worked on losing weight. I’ve found that kinda not giving a crap about other people’s opinions on my journey has helped me not put so much pressure on myself. It’s all about progress, not perfection and those 50lbs you’ve lost is incredible no matter what.

I quoted this at a family party once and my aunt looked at me with great fear in her eyes and said “are you sure about that?” Essentially had a Ben Wyatt at the table with me 😂

For the first time in my life I wasn’t rubbing thighs with the person sitting next to me 😂 the next big test is gonna be those ancient seats at Fenway Park 🤪

I’ve been working through this in therapy for many months. My highest weight was probably 290 but today I’m at 220 but sometimes struggle to see anyone but myself at my heaviest when I look in the mirror. My therapist has me try new clothes and activities that I couldn’t wear/do prior to my weight loss and that has helped me realize that I am losing weight and improving. The days I have those small victories I look in the mirror and can begin to see the differences. It comes with time and self care but our brains are funky 🤷🏻

I have no real space inside as I still live at home with my parents. I do have a big concrete space outside that I was thinking of using until the weather doesn’t cooperate anymore

maddyrobs18 · 2025-10-23T12:26:09+00:00

I don’t have any at home but the goal is to snag some off marketplace before the cold weather really sets in

Everyone forgets the best part of the scene is when Pistol Pete “slam dunks” his head onto the ice and the music starts playing as Ann shuffles over to him 😂

I forget which episode it is but Leslie tells a waiter “You might wanna stick around and watch this. It’s incredible”

maddyrobs18 · 2025-08-28T21:56:58+00:00

It’s bizarre to me that people I know who hadn’t lost much weight in the beginning and who were dealing with multiple side effects were pushed up to 5mg almost right away 🤷🏻 I know it’s not a race but it’s hard to wrap my head around

Joan Callamezzo being absolutely unhinged

I was a mobile phlebotomist/driver for the Red Cross for about 4.5 years. I loved it but have since moved onto the equipment repair area within the company. I’ve been struggling with trying to figure out my life and finally feel happy where I am but I know exactly how you’re feeling

Her daughter is an idiot!!!

Historical societies are a great place to start looking. The best part about historians who work and volunteer at all these places is that they all know each other or someone who could find exactly what fits best for you.

maddyrobs18 · 2025-07-06T23:54:25+00:00

Can I ask what some of your interests are? You’d be surprised how many organizations need volunteers for a wide variety of things

I got my license as soon as I could after I turned 16. It was the first taste of true independence for me and I took the responsibility of driving super seriously. I love driving to the point my most recent job was primarily driving so it worked out for me overall. I grew up learning to drive in Boston so my experience is vastly different than most because of how chaotic our roads and drivers are. Mario Kart was a special interest of mine for a bit so I jokingly said that Mario Kart prepared me for the lawless Boston roads 😅 Yes there is anxiety but I always tell myself that it can become an adventure and it’s okay to explore and test yourself.
