| Has anyone else turned to sublimation to deal with anxiety and depression? I sometimes put my negative energy to good use by writing and reading nonstop. Not only am I distracting myself, but I’m becoming better at understanding books and articles and quicker with words. I also listen to emo music a... |

| Tell yourself you’re still going to survive and take a deep breath. Easier said than done but self talk takes practice. It becomes second nature after a few years. |

| Caffeine makes me pace around like a crazy person. I don’t know how I react to alcohol—I’ve never had a lot of it, only half a drink at the most |

One of my friends needs money and I’m debating whether to help her or not. I know it sounds selfish, but sometimes when people ask for money they use it for substances, and I don’t know her whole story. Any advice?
P.S. She wants me to download CashApp? What is your opinion on CashApp? |

| I took a different quiz, the Autism Quotient test, and found it to be very accurate. I scored 34–very mild autism but still definitely autism. Average score for NTs is 16, average for Aspies is 35. I don’t know what the average is for other autism spectrum disorders. |

| Be accountable. Eat with other people. Subtly pay attention to your friends who are in good shape and their eating and exercise habits. My super-healthy friends actually eat whatever they want, but they eat it shamelessly and only when they’re hungry—they have a healthy relationship with food. And t... |
