| My housemate insists on having UHT lactose free milk. It doesn't bother me so I have it as well. On my cereal and in tea and coffee. There's no way I could give up ice cream. Strawberry and caramel are my favourite flavours. I'll have cheese in sandwiches and in various cooked dishes. About once a f... |

| I went to my workplace party just before Christmas, 2024. The food was brought in by others to share, I brought pastries. I had a very nice piece of pavlova for dessert. Only downsides, it was loud with people talking and someone took lots of photos. I was in a few of them, as I saw pinned on the ph... |

I was having mental illness trouble after that and he supported me through it so I decided to visit him on the other side of the cou... |

I'm diagnosed with motor tic disorder. If I had vocal tics as well, it would be Tourette's Syndrome. So you need to have both motor tics and vocal tics to be diagnosed.
I haven't heard of the medication you were on. I take haloperidol and it works really well. Just 5mg at bed time. |

| My housemate was diagnosed with ADHD when she was five and put on Ritalin for her whole length of schooling. She feels that it may have stunted her growth. She has short legs and arms but a long torso. So when she sits down she's almost always taller than everyone else but then she stands up and is ... |

It takes some courage to come out as autistic in the tennis world.
As a kid I was obsessed with tennis but had to give it up due to have no depth perception (in other words, I was crap at it). I'll still watch it on tv though. I'll keep a look out for Jenson Brooksby. |

| When I was in Year 1 (1983), a kid from my class got caned and it was a big deal because it was rarely done at my school. I think the next year I was there, it was no longer allowed. Though in Year 4 (different school) I was hit across the back of my head hard by a substitute teacher for not colouri... |

It was a good one, very Star Trek. |

I had ECT in 2005/6 and I learnt that after the seizure, the brain flatlines on the EEG for a few seconds. I had eight sessions and every time there was nothing. So if ... |

One of my exes used to put a tennis ball behind his back on the wall and slide up and down. He'd sometimes wear the tennis b... |

I didn't think about it back then but in hindsight I realise I had a bad reaction to the broccoli I often ate. I'd have to go to the litterbox often at uni whic... |

| There's not a lot to be scared of regarding lithium. I'm on it for bipolar and have taken it for 11 years. At first I had tremors from it which went away when I started taking benztropine (anti-Parkinsonism med). Most people don't get tremors though. I also have to get a blood test every three month... |

On the way there I noticed a green Holden Tigra in front of me because it was a rare car, don't see many of them around. In the late afternoon, on my drive south on the freeway, guess what I ended up driving behi... |
