Donate Kids Clothes

Hey there, my daughter is always outgrowing her clothes and I'm curious if there is anywhere you know of that I can donate her clothes to? They are 3T & 4T clothes. I want them to go somewhere they can be free, not spots that resell them. Thanks!

Oil Change

Hey y'all, I'm looking for an affordable place to get an oil change that doesn't use a drill to unscrew the bolt (I lost the oil pan in my previous car from cheap oil changes). I've been paying $130 for them at my dealership 🙃 any recommendations?

Update: I have the zero-ist interest in learning how to change my own oil and buying a jack, so no thanks. I found a really good deal on Groupon at Honest-1 Auto Care, so I'll let you know how it goes!

Personality Change

Hey y'all,

​

I was hospitalized a year ago during a manic episode that made me psychotic as well. It was insanely traumatic. I finally feel like I'm on the right medication and dosage. I feel really stable, but the thing that I'm missing is my personality trait that everyone always loved about me. I think my mania may have been a significant part of it, but basically I've always been a free spirit and super optimistic. I've been a really welcoming, enthusiastic, and social person my whole life. I really liked myself and I had a positive effect on people around me as well.

​

I don't think I can access that part of myself. And I'm afraid that if I do, I'm going to trigger my mania and lose control of myself. At this point I have wayyy too much to lose if I can't manage my symptoms, so those parts of myself I've been pushing away or don't have the energy to maintain are missing from my life.

​

Has anyone else experienced this? And if so, what have you done to help or get back to your personality?

Psychosis

Hey y'all,

Last year I was hospitalized for my Bipolar symptoms not knowing at the time I had it. When I was there I experienced psychosis for weeks for the first time in my life. Thankfully I made it through and got back to my baseline after a year of work.

Something that hasn't let me go are the delusions and hallucinations I was experiencing. They were so vivid and made a lot of sense at the time, so when I think of them now it takes a lot for me to check my reality and stay grounded in the present. The delusions are very conspiracy theory in nature, but I am the only one that has these kinds of thoughts/theories.

Has anyone else experienced this? And what have you done to reduce the intrusive thoughts or manage them?
