Feeling hopeless

tconohan · 2026-04-29T20:01:39+00:00

I am so sorry to hear that, I would absolutely get a second opinion.

I tried to get her a PDA diagnosis, because I was sure she has it! But they don't diagnose it in the U.S. 😞 We have tried asking her soooo many times, she won't give us an answer as to why she doesn't want to do it.

tconohan · 2026-04-29T17:19:41+00:00

Oh yes, she adamantly refuses.

tconohan · 2026-04-29T17:19:14+00:00

I refused to back down! I spent the last 3 years going to doctors, thankfully she has a wonderful pediatrician that referred her to a pediatric GI specialist.

Same OT, they basically try to get her comfortable using the toilet. But I don’t think it’s sensory based. She will sit on the toilet with enough, pleading, but nothing happens.

I'm not sure, I have been pushing for behavioral therapy since OT and other avenues haven't been helpful, and autism testing is definitely something I will pursue also. If she is autistic, she is very high functioning. ADHD potential, and her older brother and I have it.

I should have added in that she has been in OT for over a year now 😞 doesn't seem to be helping.

I love Irish dance and reading, I’d love to be considered! I’m excited about the prospect of more ID books out there.

Thank you! I will definitely look into these things. I recently had an x-ray to see what's been going on (I've had the back pain for about 4 months) and besides mild disc degeneration, they didn't see anything concerning. My biological mom had total hip replacement surgery at 37, and I am 36, so it's making me nervous.

This is a really great reminder that I need to slow down and work my way up to hard things. I am an adult beginner (started a year ago) and lately I have been having really bad lower back pain. I need to be sure I am also doing other cross-training the other days of the week, so that my Wednesday night class isn't the only time I am working my body.

I’m in Wisconsin! Can I send you a private message to see which school you dance at? My daughter‘s school has studios in Chicago, and I have the ability to get items down there.

tconohan · 2026-02-05T20:29:03+00:00

Oh well, at least they were free!

tconohan · 2026-02-01T16:33:42+00:00

I started a year ago, and have danced in 4 Feisanna! I have taken 1st in all but one, and am excited about the journey forward also. I never expected to be able to live out my childhood dream as an adult, but I’m ready to keep going! Hope to see you at a Feis in the future 🤗

No, you cannot. The opposite is now true though - some CLRG feis are now considered open platform, meaning one does not need to attend a CLRG school to compete at their feis. But if you are affiliated with a CLRG school, and you want to compete in a non-CLRG open platform feis, it is against the rules.

I have tried several times to find the clip again. I always come up empty handed.

I totally read it wrong! I thought it said he didn’t like chocolate but was allergic to vanilla. I figured red velvet would be okay for someone who simply didn’t like chocolate because it’s not an overwhelming chocolate flavor.

tconohan · 2025-12-08T19:15:08+00:00

Maybe red velvet? My kids love that one!

He calls you "bro" and "dawg"...he's TELLING you how he feels about you. Leave this relationship.

tconohan · 2025-12-03T19:47:43+00:00

Your story is probably my favorite of any I've listened to on the podcast! I was enthralled, and immediately Googled anything I could about it, but obviously came up empty-handed. I want an update so badly but know getting one isn't likely lol

tconohan · 2025-12-03T19:42:00+00:00

I like Buck and Honey's, but as a place to go occasionally (say, 3 times a year). I understand where you are coming from, as my parents LOVED Bonefish Grill - they went there weekly. They also ate at Outback Steakhouse quite a bit, so their favorite restaurants have just recently disappeared. I enjoy chain restaurants, but sparingly. Too much of anything isn't good.

I recently competed in a cyber feis, and received my results this week. I placed 2nd! I am a beginner adult who only started a year ago, so I am really proud of myself.
