In regards to this post my nephew did text me just now.

I’m numb and heartbroken. I just found out my sibling, who I had a falling out with over 20 years ago, just went into hospice. My other sibling told me. My other sibling is also estranged from this sibling. That’s why it hurt even more that my nephew did not text me, just my other sibling. I thought I made peace with my nephew.

How am I supposed to deal with this tragedy?

My sister who I have not spoken to in 20 years is battling cancer. My former best friend who I have not spoken to since 2018 has leukemia and I had no idea how he is doing. My two older birthed passed away. Almost all relationships with friends are no more.

How do I live a happy normal life without ruminating and being haunted by these loses?

Trying to cut calories again after a stretch of binge eating on ice cream and cookies, but not being completely orthodox about tracking everything.

Also gave up coffee, which threw me off more than I expected. Somehow I still went from 198 to 205. Frustrating how fast things can shift even when you feel like you’re trying.

What is going on? I’m 65 so can that be it?

Hi everyone, I’ve been seeing some people ride bikes with spring coats that are reflectors as well as clothing that have reflectors and sneakers as well. Does anybody know the best place to purchase something like this? Thank you.

I was in special ed classes growing up. I got educated and tried my best to overcome my challenges.

At 65 I have the best job of my life! Yet, I fear my neurodivergence causes me to come across as odd, or even dumb to my younger coworkers.

Don’t met me wrong, the work I do is good. And the work I do is difficult. Even my former manager said it was like “rocket science.”

Maybe I’m a smart person who comes across as odd.

But my stress shows in my face, and my normal conversations come across as odd, I fear.

I’ve always been told I am too hard on myself. Maybe I’m being too hard on myself now.

I just want to sound intelligent and get respect.

It's another night of me waking up because I forget to breathe correctly when I am falling asleep simply because I did not use my CPAP machine. This really concerns me! It is almost as if I forget to breathe as I’m falling asleep.

I used to commiserate with my older brothers about wrong things that went on with my parents. Now my brothers are gone, and it makes life, especially more lonely, but I realize my parents were pretty good so having all four gone, makes life even more lonely.
