My boyfriend and I are going to kill our lawn, plant wildflowers, and register as a native pollinator garden. We are sick of forced mowing, the boomer woman a few houses down reporting us to the city every single month, and the subsequent threats the city sends us in the mail.

Where do we get cardboard and mulch for cheap from so we can kill the grass? When is the best time of year to start this process? I've never done this before

i have to initiate just about every point/topic of discussion if i conversate with a man. he never asks new questions. he never returns a question to me. he never directs the topic towards my interests/thoughts. he does not care at all about my likes, hobbies, thoughts, how i'm doing, my job, etc.

men do not care about anything in the conversation but themselves. like, i can't even get a simple "how are you?" returned to me. it's exhausting trying to conversate with men, i feel like i'm doing all of the mental work and carrying of any given conversation.

am i alone on this? it's so frustrating.

27F, 230lbs, 5'7", currently taking 150mg trazodone and 100mg lamotrigine, diagnosed with bipolar 2 and BPD

my primary doctor prescribed lithium to me several months ago that i have not taken yet. i could not afford blood tests due to losing my job and insurance. she wanted to start me at 900mg (300mg, thrice daily). now that i have medicaid, i would like to start taking lithium finally, but she has no experience prescribing lithium, so i'm not sure if i should be starting at 900mg daily. is this a common starting dose? it seems rather high.

i'm also wondering if it's safe to take lamotrigine and lithium together?
