Squat toilets in India. I don’t understand how these are supposed to work, because when you pee the pee goes everywhere (airport bathrooms in India are the worst).

So I just got fired from a job I loved, and I’m severely questioning everything right now. Any tips on how to deal with all the emotional shit?

Hi! Just wanted to say, I totally feel your pain. I was diagnosed right before I went into college, but was having trouble long before that. It's really hard, and you ever need anything, feel free to ask me.
