(I feel like you’re supposed to ask a question)

Phew! I’m just glad you’re doing better, cheese! No judgment here, I’ve thought my share of loopy things. How soon are you seeing pdoc?

That's interesting. I'm actually in the opposite predicament- I called pdoc this morning and left a message, as I am quite sure I'm actually schizoaffective- bipolar type (2). While labels and diagnoses can hold you back, they can also allow you to get the proper treatment, which I feel like I'm missing. I have a big group of individual diagnoses that read more like a list of symptoms than anything, and the way we've been treating my MI isn't working, IMO because I don't have a solid diagnosis.

Wow, you are one tough mama! I bet it was majorly helpful for your child to talk to someone who actually knew what he or she was going through.

Max, why are you resistant to the idea of therapy for developing stronger communication and social skills? Is there something about it that makes you anxious?

Let's keep the questions to your experiences, buddy.

Are you guys dating?

That's also fine and a normal thing friends do for each other. I'm glad you helped her out.

Ok, first question needs an answer, too.

What was she doing while you made coffee? What was she doing while you vacuumed?

Well yes, that does feel violating. I don’t like it either. If someone were to come in my house uninvited I would not be happy. It is your mother, though, so I doubt she has ill will towards you. Also, is it her house or no? How old are you?

Max, people get to choose whether or not to forgive you.

Given the context? Yup.

What about a taser? Something non-lethal (not that tasers can't be lethal- they certainly can be if used on someone with heart problems, etc.)? Also, plenty of people carry mace or pepper spray, too, for the reasons you said above- they want to feel safer traveling through the city.

I agree.
