@scribartz: Promoted to their level of incompetence. A frequent occurrence in retail and food service. Quite unfortunate. Hopefully it doesn't cause too many problems at work as you seem to have found medications that do help you.

@scribartz: There are people out there that don't believe in mental illness, yes, but honestly a lot of them have their own unresolved issues (hence the denial). You can try to educate them if you're close to them, but I wouldn't bother with a stranger because it's not worth your time or energy. Things are slowly changing and people are a lot more understanding than they used to be. Probably due to people being more open about it. When people realize friends and family have been dealing with these disorders, it puts it into a different perspective. If you have friends or family that still insist you are faking it, I would start to distance yourself from those people.

Hello and welcome! I don't know them yet, but I also love your cat.

I want it so bad I can taste it. We're so close.

I also went undiagnosed with ADHD until I was in my late 20's (and even then I self diagnosed by doing lots of research on why I am this way and then went to see a doctor to confirm). It's unfortunate that the first doctor started with bipolar meds. Lithium is a difficult drug. Though it's not uncommon for people suffering from bipolar disorder to also have ADHD. Anyway, it never hurts to get a 2nd opinion. Especially since we're really only barely starting to scrape the surface on mental health.

As for other people making comments in passing... it doesn't bother me too much. Ultimately I look for the intention behind their statement. They usually don't mean any harm. That being said if it DOES bother you, I'd calmly and sincerely explain to them why. Once they understand it's hurting you they should stop. If they don't then you can get mad. (ಠ ∩ಠ)

Oh shoot I forgot there was a direct today.

@bonnie: I like to use it for hair in particular, but it's just a nice green.

Sea is my favorite.

More for me. ◉‿◉

Oof that's a big mood. I also could stand to use more exercise. Honestly I could stand to do a lot of things more. But tired.

@Booderdooder: Yeah that's Tumbleweed. I love him to death but he's definitely too smart for his own good. He never plays with toys, but if you try he'll just watch it and you. He only does bad things when he wants something, but sometimes we can't figure out what that something is. He's pretty special needs though since he has to take medication twice a day to keep his stomatitis under control so THAT'S a challenge. He's a very finicky eater too so sometimes giving him his medicine is difficult since if he won't eat it with his food I have to use the syringe and he HATES syringes, especially since is mouth is so sore. He's sweet though and quick to forgive.

Mallow on the other hand is a big dumb baby. An hour or two before dinner time he'll start meowing and won't stop until the wet food is provided. When it's not dinner time sometimes he forgets there's dry food in his bowl and you have to show it to him. He constantly knocks things over with his tail. If you flip him on his back he's completely docile. He's completely capable of playing on his own and a hair tie will keep him occupied for hours. Also he will only drink water straight from the sink because he's spoiled.

And your babies sound so sweet. I'm glad they found a good home.

@Booderdooder: I don't like bugs touching my skin, but I'm not afraid of them necessarily. Mostly I'm just "you shouldn't be here" at them. But yeah the jumpy ones especially freak me out because I'm afraid I'll squish them. Same will small reptiles and amphibians. I just don't know what they're gonna do.

And yes, my boys love to cuddle. They're very sociable toward people and always want to be in the room where people are. Tumbleweed is a little finicky about how he cuddles so you have to be sitting in just the right way and he has to be in the mood. He does sometimes like to be held though. Mallow is friendly to strangers but isn't a lap cat until he gets to know you. With me though he loves to cuddle in bed and will often let me hold him like a teddy bear.

@Booderdooder: Yes I have crippling fear of dead things so I can't even deal with the dead bugs.

And yeah my plan currently is to possibly buy a house and rent rooms to some very good friends. I just have to find the right house and get my financials in order.

Tumbleweed I've had for 8 years and Mallow for 7. They're good good boys (if not a little needy).
