I feel like there should be more representation around epilepsy, and not just the major seizures but like all the multiple forms it comes in.

I only got diagnosed last year because I felt like there was something wrong. I never really care for stuff like that but I was recently watching the pit and when they showed that scene with that woman doctor (not tryna give spoilers) I could almost immediately guess she had epilepsy because how they showed it is how it also goes for me.

Now idk if they’re showing JME or something else but it just made me realize that epilepsy should be more represented in media, so others who are unaware can relate to it in a way and maybe get the help they need to prevent anything worse from happening you know

Not really normalization but I guess more underestimating, I’m not exactly sure.

I just hate how divorce gets swept under the rug so easily, like when people go through divorce or separation the ones that get more looked towards are the parents not the children.

I always hate how people say: “oh but you get to have 2 Christmases” or “you get to have 2 birthdays” 2 of everything. People really don’t realize or care what kind of effect a divorce has on kids.

Now I understand that sometimes a divorce is necessary, don’t get me wrong. I just think children should get more support during it.

I’m 19 and I’ve only just realized what kind of effect it had on me growing up.

I’ve been depressed for about 8 years now, I’ve finally started antidepressants and it’s been working better for me. It has made realized how negative people are towards me.

For example: I was very enthusiastic about me figuring out what I wanted to do as a career, I want to be a lawyer or a diplomat, I expected me dad to be very positive about it as it’s a steady career. His response was: “it’s a very complex and hard study.” It felt like he didn’t think I was capable of it. I’m sure that not what he meant but it did die down my enthusiasm.

Ive had it a lot when I share my plans for my future career people either say that its hard, or say that they would never do it. But never a “wow that’s amazing, I’m rooting for you.”

Back in school I would always receive criticism from my teachers, rarely a compliment which made me insecure about my work.

When I hangout with men in particular they always feel the need to learn me something. Like I was playing pool with a new male friend, and he kept on saying “Can I teach something.” Like I get he means well, but I’m perfectly capable of doing it myself, even when I told him no, that I wanted to do it myself he kept on asking.

Pointing back to my career choice people always ask me: “are you prepared to do it.” Now I’m aware of my lack of concentration and because I have epilepsy my brain works slower when receiving instruction and processing info, and I get tired really easily because of the epilepsy and depression, but no one seems to appreciate me ambition, devotion and loyalty.

I have more of the example like with friends but these are the main ones. It keeps dragging me down. And yes, I understand I can’t let them drag me down and can ignore them, but I’m a sensitive person and things like this have easy impact on me.

Haven’t sitted them yet, still need conformation with the mother. But this weekend I met the grandparents of a very cute babygirl (4 months). The mother has some problems and is moving to a house where she is guided if you know what I mean and the grandparents life pretty far away.

I offered to babysit as I’ve always wanted to. I just don’t have any small children in my social circle. I also need a job tbh.

The mother has the 4 month old and a 2 year old boy. I’m turning 19 in 2 weeks, I pretty much know the safety measures of kids.

But does anyone have some handy tips??

So when I was 13-14 I was really into mbti and was first introduced to it. In my first test I got INFP at 13.

A year later I got ISTP on the same test. I did it multiple times and got ISTP.

A couple years later I got INTP on that test, I also did different tests and either got ISTP or INTP, I’ve also gotten ISFJ and ISFP.

I just don’t know. Is it possible that mbti types can change when you grow? Cause that is my most logical conclusion. By natural I’m pretty social but when I was 14 during the pandemic my social nature got so bombed that I could barely hold a convo with my dad.

The S and N of the type confuses me a lot. And the T and F also differ in different situations. So can anybody help me out? Maybe give me a pretty certain test or something or give me advice on how to type myself?

I’ve been a child of divorce for 14 years now, I’m 19 in a month and I’m an only child. As much as my parents tried to handle it in a way I wouldn’t be a part of it, it has caused me major struggles, mainly loneliness.

When I look at old pictures before they separated it honestly kills me. I’ve been wishing for a happy family for my entire life but my only option now is to create one. I’m also at an age that more stuff about their separation is beginning to come to the surface.

Finding out that your father might have cheated even before you were born is not really comforting, it doesn’t change the way I see my dad cause he is amazing, but it just makes me angry towards the woman who cause all of this.

That lady deadass told my mother that she had an abortion because she didn’t know if the child was her boyfriends or my fathers. Lie or not, that’s just vile to tell, especially when you’re supposed to be friends.

I told my dad this he denies everything but was quite surprised about that statement. My dad works at a bar and this chick still has the nerve to go there all the time.

I ran into her when seeing my dad and was talking to him (obviously) and for some reason this bitch was looking at me with the most insane stink eye I’ve ever seen, which is most likely since I look a lot like my mom.

But this divorce has caused me to veel very closed off from my parents, I love them with my whole heart but I sometimes feel like there’s some kind of invisible wall between us, especially with my dad.
