    Someone told me my brain is always going to be permanently 14 years old. I don’t see how finding curiosity and wonder in everything is bad…

    "Ye cannot enter the kingdom lest ye be like a spoiled 14 year old brat. "

    Something like that...Right?

    I am 14 years old. I refuse to play by ridiculous rules of the male population where l live. I hide alot in this state. Married men think l should be at their beck and call. Their wives should treat them like dogs and leash them. Joking.

    Does that someone have a crystal ball, Luca? Tell them about Dunning-Kruger effect, since they're probably an example of it. It's absence of curiosity that's the killer (of the world and of people, including their own lives) - not the presence of it.

    An acquaintance who is a dog groomer offered to give my Newfoundland a “trim” because he had some mats. She SHAVED him. I am so mad.

    Summer has arrived early. It’s usually still cold here right now. I’m not complaining! I love summer. I’d be better off somewhere tropical.

    South America and Australia have climates I could probably deal with.

    Spain and Portugal maybe too. I have traveled to a lot of places that were warm, but I also like some places that are unfortunately FREEZING! So I couldn’t live in those places. We have a summer home in Maine but Maine year-round would be unbearable.

    Hex and Enzo saw a dog they like and refused to move. So I had to “transport” them (97lbs and 65lbs.) Enzo can be picked up. Hex not so much

    The full moon honestly looks really creepy tonight. I don’t like it here at night regardless.

    Taking some time away from the forums today and focusing on my job, and then getting A LOT of sleep has helped. Thanks everyone for helping.

    I'm not that open about my mental health struggled but it's been really hard, especially with what I'm dealing with physically too. Sometimes I come on here and see things that are really triggering.
    I will try to take more intermittent breaks and focus more on myself and things in my daily life that are more important than sitting up on my computer all night.
    Thanks @tree for helping to make this a safe place too.

    I hope your break from the forums is refreshing for you. Sometimes the forums are very helpful for mental health, but every now and then, it hurts. Hope you'll feel better soon :)

    Can someone help me find irl autism resources please? This forum is becoming detrimental to my mental health but I can't cut off support. :(

    Omg these photos are amazing!!! The scarecrow one had me dying LMAO
    We both definitely seem to have an interest in documenting our lives! :) That's a good thing!

    Always happy to provide some sources of de-stressing endorphins! :) That was all before we built the house. We're going, "OMG, we looked ten years younger!" because we were ten years younger... :)

    I know the feeling! It's scary! I was a freshman in college 10 years ago.
    You and Brett look very happy :) You're definitely soul mates!

    Does anyone know how to deal with fluffy/poofy hair? I’m growing my hair out and it’s a disaster. Made worse by PCOS hormone cycle weirdness

    Is it wavy? Brett looks like a puffball if he tries to brush his hair. Wavy hair ought not be brushed if you can avoid it. I have wavy hair and detangle it with conditioner and a wide-spaced comb in the shower. Then leave-in conditioner after towel-drying. Good for three days, just untangle any sleep tangles. More leave-in conditioner if needed.

    I never brush it. Finger-style. Mine is a graduated bob cut somewhere between chin and shoulder and I dry it upside down near a heater (fan heater, wood heater) or air dry it - never blow dry. Except my fringe, for going out somewhere dressy.
    L
    Luca
    It’s actually pretty straight, although I sometimes use wavy wigs and extensions. It’s just very, very bushy. Lol. I don’t blow dry mine either but idk if it’d help or not if I did

    Not enough sleep and I have to work today and tomorrow, and have therapy and a medical appointment today. But I admit this is my own fault!

    My friend said that “Amazing World of Gumball” show would be psychological horror if you watched it while on acid. Lol

    Well, I think that's why I avoided all that stuff - not a good mix with PTSD. However, who knows if I will hit debauchery in old age sometime! ;)

    But apparently I already have a mind that regularly puts itself on mushrooms. ;P Without actual mushrooms!

    Luca
    I have acid/shroom dreams too without having ever done anything lol. I had a dream the other day that one of my friends was a ghost haunting my house, and he came out of a vase. Or maybe it was an urn then? :p

    Think of the money we save getting our trips naturally! And all the CDs we can buy with that - or stuff for the animals...

    Starting to feel kind of anxious and uncomfortable about posting on here. Just getting weird vibes lately.

    You'll probably feel better, when you feel better. Wasn't it just this morning before sun up that you were "having crippling medical anxiety." And hadn't slept in almost 24 hours?

    We are all a little broken inside. Sometimes it is hard to stay on top of things. Life becomes full of stress and it gets difficult.

    Yes, @tree . My anxiety has been at an all-time high :( I did get some sleep today though!
    Thanks Jim, you’re right :)

    Having crippling medical anxiety. The sun is about to rise here and I have not slept in almost 24 hours. I’m hiding under the covers sobbing

    Thanks for all the support, everyone <3 Sometimes I just feel like I’m being dramatic lol. I am being treated for anxiety, and everything else. It’s just hard :(
    I’m sorry some of you struggle too :(

    I understand how wearing anxiety can be, even if it is hard to understand for others. I have fears in a sick amount too and know that they can make ones life to hell sometimes. anxiety disorder is a serious disease and not something anyone should be ashamed of.
    Shaddock

    sometimes I feel dumb that I not went to a therapist because of this again and sometimes people say to me that I should make a therapy, when my fears are too strong. but I think it will be better when everything else is going better.

    I’m a mess tonight, sorry. My pelvic pain from PCOS has been so severe lately that I’m looking into having a hysterectomy. That does cure it
    Callistemon
    Callistemon
    PCOS is no picnic. I hope you get treatment that works; chronic pain sucks and feeds depression and anxiety. It's amazing how women were traditionally just told to grin and bear it, it's a woman thing...

    I think I might have to get stitches after all :| It hasn't stopped bleeding and is sore. Idk if I should go to the ER tonight or morning...

    Just make sure the wound edges stay aligned and aren't forced apart by movement.

    Thank you! There was no need for stitches. I did it by dropping the folded part of the pen on the floor and it dragged my hand down the side and sliced my thumb. Disgusting but I guess it wasn’t that severe!

    Urgh! ...good you don't need stitches, the local anaesthetic in fingers and toes especially really stings! :p
