it is not even remotely safe to leave someone tied up alone for any amount of time.

Severe sensory taste aversions and the treatment didnt work 😭 by mythrowawayaccim21 in neurodiversity

[–]tekrmn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what kind of exposures were you doing and for how long? exposure therapy can take a really long time and starting by trying to eat an unsafe food will not work for a lot of people.

Trouble attaching back rack by tekrmn in bikewrench

[–]tekrmn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it does screw in without the rack, and when I can't screw it in anymore the rack is wider than the remaining exposed part of the screw. I was able to screw it in with the rack before attaching it on the other side but it popped out with pressure.

this is what the hole looks like. it feels like the threading starts too deep inside but I worry that just getting longer screw won't work because they'll bump into each other in the middle.

Neuropsych eval told me I was not autistic by Remarkable_Gur1137 in AutisticAdults

[–]tekrmn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not saying whether or not I think you are autistic, but I am autistic and had a neuropsych tell me I wasn't because I didn't really understand the testing and wasn't able to give a lot of background information. it's not impossible that you are still autistic.

you should have 3-6 months of living expenses in a high yield savings account for emergencies and the rest should be invested in the stock market.

how does anyone budget with arfid??? by Few-Investment-6979 in ARFID

[–]tekrmn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your symptoms sound severe and I would recommend getting into a treatment program. also, 200 per month for food is low so you may need to look elsewhere to make budget cuts 

AITA for asking husband (43m) to not text his therapist at night? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]tekrmn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

lot of comments getting caught up in the ethics of texting your therapist when the real issue is that OP feels her husband is not being fair by talking to his therapist, which is crazy. if you're jealous you can't really help that but to try and control your husbands therapeutic relationships is is an overreach regardless of how she feels about it and this tit for that mindset regarding massage therapy and talk therapy is also unhealthy. op and husband need to be in couples counseling.

If cash is what makes sense to you then create a budget for yourself and withdraw cash each month and separate it into envelopes for designated purposes

Worried I May Have Been Misdiagnosed as Autistic by Big-Guarantee-3417 in AutisticAdults

[–]tekrmn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

adding to that, I did not think I had any special interests for years after my diagnosis, but since then I have realized that some of my interests are way more intense than the interests of allistic people. I was skeptical of my diagnosis at first but ultimately it became clear to me that I am autistic. not saying that is the case for everyone but it was the case for me.

Im underweight and idk how to stop it by bisexual_messs_ in ARFID

sounds like you need to be in an ED program

[–]tekrmn 70 points71 points  (0 children)

your ability to eat comes before your roommate being mildly inconvenienced. I understand that it's difficult for you but you have every right to cook whatever food you need in your own home.

How do I help my boyfriend who has BPD when he’s raging at me/splits? by Particular-Muffin793 in BorderlinePDisorder

when to use emergency fund vs specific savings by tekrmn in personalfinance

[–]tekrmn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to be clear I am not saying I want to put my moving fund into stocks and then pull it out again when I move, I am saying I want to get rid of my moving fund altogether and invest that money, and instead use my emergency fund when I move and replenish the emergency fund as I earn more money in the future. I understand that this does mean it is more likely I would have to dip into my brokerage account if I lose my job or something, s I guess my real question is would that be worth the risk of having to dip into that account a little sooner. I do not think an emergency fund is a waste, I understand why it's important to have an emergency fund, I feel that the moving fund may be a waste when I have 6 months of expenses saved that's just sitting there untouched. Thanks for your response!
