| In order of effectiveness: 1. My fetish of high heeled CBT. 2. "Touchies"-Where my wife gently runs her fingers on the back of my head where my hairline is. 3. Rolling back and forth in bed while listening to soundtracks that allow me to replay whatever scenario went wrong in a way where i... |

| I'm so wrapped up in my interest of tug boats that I have a stuffed tugboat from Kohl's that I keep in bed. My wife doesn't mind it. My exes always tried to tell me to grow up. I was always impulsive and never became financially responsible until 3 years ago. Even now, I'm still extremely impulsive ... |

| Your industry of choice has a lot to do with it too. I failed every attempt at customer service/office type jobs. Getting into a warehouse or production facility is easy. Most of them start through a temp service and all you need there is clean pee, a pulse, and a lack of court dates (past, or futur... |

| On my mind right now? Debating on whether I should scratch build a large ride on R/C tug boat, or a ride on barge to be pulled by a large R/C tug, or to build a large ride on R/C container ship....decisions. Solar power panels on top of the containers would make that easy. Plus that can be an access... |

| No problem. Not sure what you do for work, but admin support of some kind at warehouses and factories usually get weekends off whether it's order entry or basic phone customer service, building the manifests for the drivers or whatever else. Non CPA accountants get awesome hours and if it's the righ... |

| Not sure where you're at, but here in the states it's possible to get FMLA days for stuff like that. I haven't pursued it, but I happened to find an industry that actually entertains my mind in the best of ways. I used to deal very little with people and was made supervisor. I'm seriously considerin... |

Ended up sticking it in a house fan and it basically vibrated it out. went through about 5 fans before I figured I'd try it with my hands and voila, finally figured out how to do it the &quo... |

| See that's pretty much the answer I was expecting. I'm just used to a negative reception to me being me in the form of physical harm so I just found a way to hide being that way. I guess as an adult, it's less of a rational concern. I would hope adults nowadays would be more receptive to the way I a... |

| I think the reason I was never told and the reason I never saw that shrink again was because my father was usually pretty dismissive about things like that. ESPECIALLY when it came to any type of mental diagnosis. He’s the old school “depression just means you’re sad, smile and walk it off” type guy... |
