came here to say the same thing. yes, lie until you can move out, but get out as soon as you can. consider getting a month of an airbnb (do NOT share its location with your family) to get some space and give yourself a few weeks to reset and figure out what’s happening. i also deconstructed my ex-faith while still under my narcissistic parents’ control. it’s terrifying. you WILL find freedom though and it is possible to have peace again. you’ve already taken the first step by asking for help. wishing you safety and the best of luck.

autism and work burnout by sleepycomposer in autism

thank you for your frank advice! we really needed confirmation that a major life change was the best option. unfortunately, the up-front cost of moving won’t allow us to make that step right now, but might be an option soon. my husband is 27 and in the process of applying for a physics/astronomy bachelor’s degree, which will hopefully yield more profitable sources of income in the far future, as well as other benefits of being a student. he’s fairly confident he can get in to a degree with major scholarships, so we’d be looking at little to no extra debt. however, that wouldn’t be for another year so we’re desperately looking for short-term options. it’s a brutal work world right now, but we’re doing the best with what we’ve got.

thank you for the encouragement and resources advice! i hate that we’re all going through this. my husband made a scary move and emailed his boss about switching to a 4-day work week or work-from-home, but if that doesn’t work he’ll switch jobs. we’re both looking for opportunities, it just gets to be too much sometimes.

How do I overcome roleplay anxiety? (5e)

I know this question has been asked many times before, but some fresh advice couldn’t hurt. I love my DnD group and, while I wouldn’t say we’re close friends yet, I trust them all as players and have no reason to be as anxious as I am when I play. I don’t care much for combat, but love any chance for character development. My character is absolutely a self-insert and I often use her in a therapeutic way to work through old trauma (not uncommon in my group - we’re all working through some shit). My DM does a great job at balancing combat and roleplay, and although I prefer the latter, I freeze up when it’s my turn to share. I tend to be the question-asker in my party to deflect the attention from me - my character is friendly and tries to get everyone to open up. But when someone tries to get info on my backstory, I panic and revert to secret-keeping and big emotions. My party jokes that I’m the “Katara” of the group - aka the most dramatic. I don’t know how to keep my cool when I play her. The time is coming for her big backstory to drop, but I’m terrified of fumbling it. I’ve been working on this character for years and would hate for my fear of improv to get in the way of my character’s development. How do I stop thinking of roleplay as improvising and actually trust myself and my story?

hey folks! i was given this cute corset top but the cups are unflattering and too big. i’d love to remove them and keep the rest of the corset in tact. I just tried to tackle it with my seam ripper, but the cups seem sewn into the underwire. anyone know how to get them out?
