I’m afraid of succumbing to the mental illness cocktail of ADHD, GAD, chronic depression, and possibly ‘high-functioning’ autism (formal diagnosis pending, informal diagnosis confirmed). I’m not sure I have the fight in me to last until old age or a disease gets me.

I’m with you 90% but I’ve been drinking a ‘brainfood’ smoothie every morning and it does NOTHING to help shake off the sleepies. That mf has blueberries, avocado, spinach, chia, and banana in it and I FEEL NOTHING compared to the sweet relief and kick in the butt of a morning muffin (or donut).

How long have your nodes been swollen? Do you have adequate health insurance that you are comfortable advocating for further investigation? If you are able and willing, I would demand diagnostic imaging of the area with the swollen nodes.

With all due respect, I don’t think America deserves to bask in anything. If anything, the midterms have further soured my perception of the USA. Trump. Still. Has. Support. If that isn’t failure on a massive scale, nothing is.

Alright, you’ve convinced me. I’m going to try it. I think I might actually be able to stick with this one because it’s an all-the-time thing instead of something that happens periodically. Laundry isn’t too bad for me because the fear of having no clean underwear is very motivating for me hahaha

No worries at all! It’s nice to get multiple perspectives and responses from folks with the same advice - kinda helps paint a better picture of what works best! I live with my fiance so it’s not like we produce an obscene amount of dishes. We’re both ADHD, however, so we’re messy. Super messy. We tried the “if it…

Since this has been roundly recommended, I will try and make it routine!

This I can abide by.

Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s any way I could fit one of those. It is the TINIEST kitchen sink I’ve ever seen. I hate it with my whole heart.

This is the dream. I have a single, tiny apartment sink and maaaybe 4 sqft of counter space, which the drying rack takes up 2 sqft of. It suuuccckkksss.

Immediately? EVERY time there’s a new dish?

My fiance feels similarly but the untidiness of having dishes pile up outside of the sink makes me incredibly anxious. Do you stack yours or put them in some sort of dirty dish receptacle? I’m trying to sort out my life. Plz halp.

Yes, obviously.

My fiancé used to point out how rarely I cried! When I started getting so bloody weepy I worried he’d feel he’d been duped by some sort of stoic charade but he’s pretty cool with it, I think. Thank goodness... If the ol’ biological clock is really ‘a thing’ and it’s this strong, I am going to be a mess! I don’t want…

My grandmother adopted a cat that had been raised by two other senior ladies and surrendered when they went into care homes. This cat would not eat out of anything except a crystal bowl. Eccentric af.

YEP. I am 27 and I too have hit the cry-at-everything milestone. I tear up because my dog is JUST SO SWEET AND PURE. I tear up because my fiancé is doddering around the bedroom in his underwear and I JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I cried FOR A WEEK whenever I thought of my best friend’s pregnancy. I wonder if this ends or if…

There is no cheap wine in Saskatchewan. It is all expensive and the province “curates” a wine list that’s absolutely chock-full of shite. A bottle of Apothic red is $17.77. A 3L box of wine is ~$40. Bringing in undeclared wine from other provinces is verboten and if you declare, you pay $7/bottle in taxes. It’s the…

I will binge-watch the heck out of this. My pup just turned 1 year old a couple of weeks ago and he’s way too much of a dickhead to be a therapy dog yet but I hope he matures into a sharable pooch in a year or so. He’s wicked smart, extremely sensitive and juuust starting to display empathy lately so I have... Medium…

Including mental health issues.
