Hey, thank you for sharing. You pulled it back together, good. I’m also bipolar and a few other goodies.

Lithium poisoning so sucks. The shaking and the queazy and the disorder thing is subtly different that is is really hard to catch. My psychiatrist at the time didn’t catch it, and well that was a fun suicidal ideation episode.

I’ve gone down several times in my life. Each time I get better at getting better. It’s not the falling, it’s the getting back-up. It’s about losing less ground each time. It’s about being ruthlessly honest about what the triggers are. It’s about not relying on hypomanias to get stuff done. It’s about letting go of the outcome.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, drink your water, do your mindfulness & exercises, take you meds & do your therapy. But if one more person tells me to breath, we will be having words, short, sharp and explicit words.

Maybe some day I’ll share my story. Right now I’m stable with therapy and meds. The business is going well. And the sigle biggest improvement is my DH taking his own mental health seriously. Therapy and meds for everyone!

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Your back and may any future moments be mild and short. Hugz

I’m 57. I can fake adulting pretty well. Inside the three yo runs this show.

I like that neurodivergence is a great big broad category. Each individual type represents a very small population that is easy to ignore and scapegoat. Adding up the huge variety of neurodiversity, genetic and acquired, gives us enough numbers to get something done.

I am dyslexic, autistic and bipolar. Not one of these groups have enough numbers on there own to effect change. The same accommodations that I need to function with one issue are the same accommodations I need to deal with them all, adequate education, adequate health care, adequate tools & technology, adequate shelter, adequate nutrition, and an adequately civil society. Just like every other human on the planet.

We need to speak with one voice. How neurodivergence is dealt with is inadequate for all of us.

Lol, anything less that 3 cups of coffee and a full nights sleep and naught becomes knot when I really mean not. Sigh

Teflon Don may not suffer all of the consequences. He is suffering some. Much more importantly, is that enough of the enablers, supporters and followers are suffering their own consequences. He could not, and did not, do anything alone. The DoJ Trump may never get Trump. However, the process is grinding a whole lot of the enablers down.

Smith made the interesting choice to go through Miami rather than DC. One of the guesses is that filing in such a pro Trump jurisdiction will eliminate many of the stalling tactics and under cut claims of bias. So far Smith seems to be closing the loop holes.

Oh yes please. Cheering people on, giving them a new lens in which to view themselves, or just a moment of attention all for themselves, brings me joy. Good suggestion. What would it take to make it?

Hey even brain surgeon autistics need children’s toy autistics. Who else are we going to turn to when we are overwhelmed and need a deep dive into plushies!
