I showed my mum the video that set veganism in stone for me and she said it was sad but she was still going to eat meat. I only went vegan afew days ago but i feel like im gping insane. No one around me is willing to change because their too greedy to think of animals. I cant look at meat anymore as it makes me want to cry and throw up. LIKE EVRYONE I HAVE NO VEGAN FRIENDS THE ONLY COMFORT I HAVE IS REMEMBERING MY YEAR 5 AND 6 TEACHER WHO WAS VEGAN AND ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS EVER. and then im told im 'shoving it down peoples throats' LIKE YEAH I DONT WANT YOU TO BE SUPPORTING MURDER AND RAPE OF ANIMALS. Im going to be having a picnic for my birthday and none of my friends have sensative stomachs or are alergic to anything so i want it to be to vegan or at the least vegetarian but my mums like "you have to acomodate non vegans" and its like IM NOT ACOMODATING ANIMAL RAPE AND MURDER ON MY BIRTHDAY. i havent told my dad but my pearents are divorced and i see him evry other weekend. Hes just going to take the piss out of me for it and when i refuse to eat i'll be called difficult and "he will be the struggling dad victim and i'll be the bratty child". What did make me happy though was my mum told my nan (shes in her 80's and isnt the most progressive but is lovely) and she was more concerned about making sure i was healthy then anything wich made me happy. But still it makes me so angry and then im told im a snowflake or a radicalist for wanting to storm animal testing facilitys and stage protests. Like im sorry im open minded. IM NURODIVERGENT AND MY BRAINS NOT WIRED WRONG JUST DIFFERENTLY AND THATS WHY I SEE WHAT THE NARROW MINDED CANT. "See the world differently" no i see the world literly. I feel like im going insane. I hate it. How can i feel better?

I have been having issues for years and from what i found about localized hypermobility spectrum disorder it seems like it may fit my symptoms but i cant find much on it so has anyone got any sources i can look into? I want to bring it upto my doctor as a posibility if it fits my symotoms

I'm 16f (17 in 2 weeks and im 5'2 and 15 stone but im working on loosing weight) and for almost 3 years now I've had mobility issues but they cant find what's wrong. I've had scans and my blood tests shown stuff but not much. My mobility issues have improved but my brain issues have got worse. Specifically I get lots of dizziness and stuttering and its like my hearing has got verry good and verry bad. Like I can hear evry sound in ny house right now it feels like i can hear the electricity and sounds from the street and it feels alot but also im struggling to hear things when theres background sounds like having to really focus to hear the voice on the bus over the sounds of the bus and sometimes when theres sounds its like i can hear the words but their not words i can hear the voice and the tone but I cant understand what they said as its not words. As abit of background my grandad was adopted and we know nothing about his bio dad except he was south african and his bio mum was a Welsh nurse. We seem to have bad genes. My aunt is hard of hearing and from what I know she has been since birth (she lip reads sometimes but its not too severe) and crohns (i think thats how you spell it). Me and my mum (a nurse) belive my dad has raynauds and its kinda just excepted in the family that my dad and gradad have undiognosed ADHD. Me and my brother are also on the waiting list for a autism assessment and dyslexia runs in my mums side along with heart attacks it seems. I just wonder weather its worth going to the doctors or whether its somthing thats normal or not bad enough. I'm in england so it's not like it costs me thousands to go to the doctor but I still dont want to have to go if I dont need to

Prefebly more 'realistic' but im making my own doll and I tryed to make a head and it looks terrible so im looking for a head mabey i could even paint or comes with coulours or details like eyes

I'm going to shave my head. I've done EVRYTHING. Its ruined me socially and I litelry smell blood when I itch my head. I have watched videos on wigs and evrything (as i dont think being bald would suit me and my self confidence only goes so high) but my hair is coming right off. I just can not cope and im going into burn out and it's way to much to deal with. I started my summer holidays today (perks of uk collage) and I hope to grow my hair back out and just ✨️start fresh✨️ (also my hairs damaged from dye and stuff so its what it needs). But one thing I do want to say is the brand vamousse worked quite well if anyone wants to give that a try but it obviously didn't help me for long but for afew hours it stopped :)

So from what I can find the GATE program was a American thing for gifted kids who were smart. I've seen theory's on this and I find it quite intresting. I'm from england and we dont really have a GATE program that I'm aware of. In primary school (wich for americans is kindergarden to 5th grade) we're put in mixed classes but if your bad in a certain subject you can be taken out. I was always taken out for reading and maths. The reading one was verry intresting though. We had these offices in the classroom that was kinda known to be whare the dumb kids learn. They were white walls, black carpet and table. They specifically tested certain kids more like me. We would be given these weird things to read like one time we had somthing on david Beckham and they had really weird drawings. In year 4 (3rd grade) I started asking why alot and instead of telling me they took me out of Thursday assembly to play minecraft on one of the school tablets. We regularly had people coming into watch us and I think some were introduced with the honorific 'dr'. Im not sure if there were gifted classes like this in England. It just seemed off and remembering it made me think of the GATE program theory but in reverse.

My familys arguing and I just want something happy please

Just to say this isnt a complait really i just didnt know what flair to put and thought that sounds like it would kinda cover what im talking about. Im 16 and was told im too old to stay in pediatrics so I was discharged from the pediatric clinic (I've been there for 2 years due to mobility and brain problems thats still not known why). Im worried im going to get less understanding in adults. I have alot of problems with anxiety and medical trauma. Im worried about being put on a adult ward and my mum not being able to stay. Im 17 in August so I understand im not a child but im just worried. Ive allready found that being sedated for biopsies is mainly just pediatrics. I have a fear if needles and they wanted a thyroid biopsy and I couldn't do it. The guy in the mouth and throat clinic I went to see after that was ok. Then I had my nurologist appointment. It wasnt pediatrics I could tell that. I didn't even get to explain all my symotoms. Waste of time. I'd been waiting 8 months. That's really thrown me off. Also I've been in adults a and e before when I was younger and it was loud and cramp and several hours wait. I cant deal with loud sounds and lots of people and stuff but I have a feeling that if im being discharged from the pediatric clinic pediatric a and e won't take me anymore. Why is it 16? Is it that different?

I know this sounds silly but ill explain. So im 16 and I've gradually got worse at tolerating food. I cant eat a regular meal as it hurts my stomach. My problem is I feel like I'm hungry alot but I also dont wnat to be in pain. I want to be able to listen to my body but it feels hard and sometimes my bodys wrong. Has anyone got any tips on eating less?
