    Very dot connecty. I love the proxies, for example, if you drink three coffees and fall asleep, you know you might have it. I imagine the casual test for women is how many pairs of underwear and pants have you ruined? If she doesn’t start laughing, no.

    I have been searching for answers my entire life no one, including myself, had. Not everything is applicable to me, but thus the term neurodivergent. Many episodes feel as if someone is inside my head and i hear myself thinking...avoidance, depression, and extreme anxiety
