She says she doesn’t, but I know she does

That’s so fucked up I don’t care if a cute cat is next to the words

Edit: didn’t expect my most down voted comment to be about rape jokes, but here we are

Medication is a privilege that many with ADHD can’t access. It also doesn’t work for everyone. Are those people not disabled?

Also, ADHD is more than struggling to focus, or to sit still. Many of us struggle to start tasks, manage money, keep things tidy, or manage time. These issues can cause so many problems in life, ranging from inability to hold a job to relationship issues. Once the medication wears off, these symptoms rise back to the surface; because ADHD medication isn’t a cure, it’s symptom management.

You’re good, I was mostly confused between your title and the article’s title.

Your cats are toothless because your vet’s cat has an autoimmune disease?

When you’re aroace and truly, absolutely do not want to marry your best friend: Fuck I’m gonna die alone!

I don’t really like yoga, personally. I do love stretching, and have some favorites that I’ll do throughout a day. But sitting in a stretch and being “mindful” just irritates my mind, in the same way that meditation does. I have hEDS so stretching is more for keeping my muscles limber, and to get some blood flowing, than it is for my ligaments or joints anyway

The little floating ghost mouse is killing me, so cute

You just reminded me that my therapist sent me a mood wheel, too. I ended up ignoring it because it was color coded lol.

But in that same packet she sent me some grounding techniques to try, and that’s actually been really useful for me to pull out of a meltdown. Box breathing is my favorite one, but seriously there’s so many to try

Maybe stop trying to use words. Use colors or textures, make a little posterboard and work through what looks or feels right in her head. Meaning, if dark blue means she’s scared, or if green means she’s frustrated that’s okay. Don’t just go with red= angry if that didn’t feels right for her. Let her use as many colors or textures as she needs to get her point across.

It’s also really important to include what she wants from you on this board. Like, just shut up for an hour, or hold her, or go to the store and get her favorite soda. This is just to help her build trust that she can have some control in an uncomfortable situation. Right now she might not really have that, and may be why she’s landed on avoidance

Use it while physically together, but also take a picture so a screenshot can be shared with little edits over what she’s associated with her feelings.

When I’m overstimulated by emotions I have an internal meltdown that can graduate to external if I’m being pushed. I absolutely can’t think of words in that state, and often I’m afraid to even express myself in those moments.

My elderly cat that I mentioned in the original comment I made, that you replied to, does indeed wear a diaper

I guess my experience is that many apartments don’t have carpet through much more than bedrooms now. Heck, one I looked at yesterday has zero carpeting, and this is a place with very cold winters.

My young male cat has a large 6x6 kennel that he goes into while I’m out, and he doesn’t even pee on anything, but I guess most people wouldn’t be willing to do that. (he just constantly tries it on with that elderly cat I mentioned above and that’s not good for anyone lol)

It’s interesting that they won’t let him go to a rental home.

But also, cat diapers are ridiculous. I have yet to find one that fits properly, my elderly cat always gets one or both of her legs stuck when she rises from a nap

My grandparents had a cat named Pussy. My grandma was so upset when I told her what that was slang for

“Cobra chicken” aka Canadian Goose

That’s actually a valid prefix issued for Florida in '81
