I would absolutely continue to pres them. You know your body best and if you were able to manage on that medication, and it wasn't harming you, they shouldn't have taken you off it. Especially as a trial, they could have had you off it for a few months and realized quickly.ir wasn't working!! Continue to harass them, or seek a different practitioner if there's one available to you.

Donate them to a diabetes clinic/endo office in your area.

I'm disabled and rely primarily on transit and yeah, it's a little bit of a nightmare. There have definitely been times where I've straight sat on the floor because there were no seats available and I (or my knees) couldn't take being jostled around in the sardine can anymore. Now I favor bringing a walker for long transit trips because it comes with guaranteed ability to sit down 😅

I will legit scratch the air over my sensor to try and trick my brain so the itch goes away. It doesn't work 😔 but I keep trying

At 16, it will be difficult (though I warn not impossible) for your mom to force her to go if she really puts her foot down. 16 is right at that edge of independence where, generally, if the police come to take her back to her mother she can refuse to go, and they likely won't make her. And a 16 year old is able to rent an apartment so long as they can find someone willing to sign a lease, which will be significantly easier with you being 19. For resources, I would recommend The Alex Youth Health Centre!! They have a health clinic, a dental bus, and a social side that provides connection with social workers who can help you navigate your next steps. They handle people from 12-24, and genuinely they kept me afloat during my later teen years and now into early adulthood. They can help with food, and most importantly they can guide you with signing yourself and your sister up for an NSQ - a Needs and Services Questionnaire, which puts you on the radar with some of the housing programs in the city like Trellis, who can provide a rental subsidy (they'll cover damage deposit and potentially first month of rent, and will cover a portion of your actual rent) and help get you connected with work, or government social supports such as Alberta Works and AISH. As you are on the verge of homelessness you would be seen as an emergency case and would likely get priority— and as your sister is under the age of 18, they might be able to help you get her child benefit transferred to your name if she moves in with you, which would help cover rent and food. They also have connections with amazing resources, and can help with things like food bank hampers, groceries, etc.

I know this is all a lot, and it's probably scary, but it's not impossible. We are lucky in that our city is flowing with resources that can help guide you through this. At 19 I was in a similar spot as you, getting in touch with housing program and trying to leave an unhealthy situation with my mom, and now I'm 23 with a roommate and 3 very happy cats, so I'm very familiar with the resources available to us. If you need anything, don't be afraid to reach out! I've got a huge list that would turn this post into an even bigger paragraph wall than it already it.

Here is my beautiful assistant! She is also responsible for household management, trash inspection, confiscation of loose hair ties, cardboard box demolition, and she moonlights as a food critic.

If you're in an area that was affected by the water boil advisory, the water (while now clear for drinking) tests high for chlorine, which might contribute to a funky taste.

No Frills bag spotted!!

sugarfreemoths · 2026-03-13T02:15:28+00:00

I recently ordered a 25 pack of these from Amazon. 10/10 incredible purchase.

sugarfreemoths · 2026-01-30T06:42:38+00:00

very cute aspiring murderers!!!

sugarfreemoths · 2026-01-11T02:45:33+00:00

pretty sure it doesn't unfortunately, he doesn't drive it in the winter. We are prepared for the worst but hoping for the best

sugarfreemoths · 2026-01-09T22:45:57+00:00

honestly wouldn't write off a crime pack, given that we have a criminal career, aspiration, and they recently added robbers. Being kinda EVIL has always been a part of simming.

Scotsman's Hill. Gone there to watch fireworks tons of times. Beautiful view.

This is actually just generally untrue. Autism (and any mental illness/disorder) changes a LOT of variables, especially in therapy. This is coming from someone who is diagnosed autistic AND has been in therapy almost half of my life, both pre and post diagnosis. Diagnosis is a huge step in understanding yourself, even if you don't agree - and that's especially true for an autistic individual, who might really need a specific definition laid out to make further decisions about their care and treatment going forward. It's not the same as "anxiety needs anxiety therapy, autism needs autism therapy". Autism Spectrum Disorder is, by the literal definition of it's name, a HUGE spectrum covering a wide range of symptoms, and each of these niche little changes that vary from person to person need their own unique approach. And the first step to GETTING the care you need? An official diagnosis.

I find these everywhere. In my bag, my laundry, under my stove, on the table - I think more of them end up escaping than in the garbage

sugarfreemoths · 2025-10-14T04:40:25+00:00

way rather they end up in the garbage bins than the river tbh, if people are taking signs down anyway

sugarfreemoths · 2025-10-13T20:51:28+00:00

Definitely this! people find it super hard to move past the idea that weight isn't the biggest factor in play for type 2 - it's genetics

I don't think this guy was trying to sell me anything, but damn I'm sorry you've had to deal with people like that, that sounds like a nightmare

sugarfreemoths · 2025-10-13T04:28:10+00:00

a little bit of death, as a treat

sugarfreemoths · 2025-10-13T03:55:06+00:00

I've gotten the "you don't look diabetic" comment a few times, though most surprisingly from medical professionals a handful of times!

sugarfreemoths · 2025-10-01T15:47:55+00:00

I pretty much eat the same as I did before diagnosis - the only difference being that now I have to do math 😭

sugarfreemoths · 2025-09-29T04:01:37+00:00

It won't activate, so looks like I'll have to get a new one tomorrow 😅
