    Sincere thank you’s to everyone who reached out, responded, upvoted, etc. I really suck at admitting when I don’t got this, and it just…y’all are great. You helped me a lot.

    I’m currently waiting for my seratonin reuptake to be inhibited (got my meds) and I got a timely reminder from my PCP that I suffer from chronic pain which we need to work on (one grows accustomed) so hopefully I’ll be feeling more like myself within a couple of days. Again, thank you. It means more than I can say.

      @Snackness I hope this little upswing continues, and you DO get some relief!

        The board just reminded me to post this:

        Please promise me you won’t buy your kids the school supplies that have the pop sockets all over them.

                    They put them on //everything//now and I had a literal nightmare that included them.

                    Don’t get me wrong! I have a very cute dolphin pop it in my fidget box for babies who need it*. Great tools.

                    THEY DO NOT NEED TO BE ON RULERS AND PENCIL BOXES AND PENCILS/PENS.

                    deep breath

                    • I have strict rules with my fidget box. 1. Only one fidget at a time. 2. Fidget must remain under the level of the desk/out of sight of the person using it. 3. You drop/throw it? You have to wait till a transition to pick it up. 4. Fidget can only be in your non-writing hand.

                      The only kind of rulers that are a fashion statement are the snap bracelets that look like rulers.

                        It’s a fashion item like the PeeChees were a fashion item like the covers for your textbook were a fashion item. As in ‘self-expression’, rather than ‘clothing’. The folders with the bright colors and cartoons on them, the pencil cases with cartoon characters, etc – all of these are fashion items.

                          See, I had none of those things growing up. Brown wooden ruler, or clear plastic when I was older, brown paper and clear contact over my notebooks, plain white or blue folders for book storage…

                                It might be a girl thing, an American thing (am I right in inferring you’re pretty far east of Murica based on some stuff you’ve said about the time where you are?), or both.

                                  I 'member 90s snap bracelets and 100% accidentally cut myself using them on more than one occasion.

                                  Oh the times.

                                  I want something else to get me through this

                                      @GF It’s more likely that I was just raised in an austere environment. Soviet-era Russian parents (then moving to northern England) will do that.

                                          I like snap bracelets.

                                          I should also not be allowed to have them, because the click-snap of hitting them against your wrist over and over and over again is very soothing to me, and absolutely infuriating to anyone near me.
