Edit: When I made this comment the person above was being unfairly down voted. What they said has scientific merit and the reader can easily verify.

I'm on clonidine for ADHD. I can actually stop myself from speaking out of turn now, so maybe it has been a little sedating xD

Dating is kind of a nightmare. I know people say anyone can find a partner, but that doesn't take into account things like sensory issues or hard boundaries around other things that keep us sane. I told myself a few years ago that I didn't want to date while I'm university, but honestly it's been so nice not forcing myself to fit into other people's boxes that I might just stay single even after I earn my doctorate

I'm also with you on refusing to participate in a misery machine for a living. I hope you can hash out some kind of misery escape plan with your therapist tomorrow

I hear you, I'm ND too. Reading about things like RSD being common in people like us has at least helped me be easier on myself.

Existence is goddamn difficult and I wish I had an answer, because turning my brain off sounds wonderful. Alcohol can do that, but it comes with some awful consequences. I've also abused quetiapine, but eventually that fucked me up too. Weed does not play nice with my brain

How is this a crime? I need a recipe

This is pretty funny given the recent political assertions that Tylenol causes autism, because rejection sensitive dysphoria is a symptom of autism/adhd

Edit: that N.B. is pretentious as fuck. Don't take an incredibly tiny study with very little scientific traction as fact. Presenting it as fact demonstrates how little the OP understands about research

My service dog has some pit bull ancestry (roughly 16%), I know this because I did a DNA test on her. She is none of the things you listed, despite being part of the scariest years of my life that involved actual domestic violence against me. And even after we were attacked by a GSP on a walk last year, she has not shown those tendencies you mentioned. She's also very gentle with the impolite tomcat I adopted recently.

I doubt most pet owners can rise to the level of training she and I have done. And service training is not a "boot camp then done" thing, it's continued throughout their working lives. But they absolutely need the temperament for service first.

And just for fun: she also has Rottweiler, GSD and Chow Chow ancestry. She was donated to me through a reputable program that screens shelter puppies for the temperament needed for service.

I'm going to be very upset if MTG ends up as the first US president who is a woman

Finally got a good score!

They are the (purple) states that can be won by either Republicans or Democrats during presidential elections. Think Pennsylvania or Michigan, there was a ton of dramatic campaigning in those states last year, including an attempted assassination.

In contrast there are reliably Democrat (blue) states like California and Washington, and reliably Republican (red) states like Texas and West Virginia

It's another very US-centric concept

It's okay to use the word "British", it's not a slur or anything

Feels like they are trying to shut as many doors as possible before things turn to explicit danger for trans folks
