| So, I ended up going on the trip, and I didn't die. So I consider it a success. Hahaha :lol: I actually had a pretty good time. I did encounter some fatigue, especially near the end but my stepdad and I worked around it. My stepdad did 90% the driving so all I had to do was show up and pretend to l... |

| Hi everyone! Angel here. Just wanted to post this to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to prevent chronic meltdowns. I've been having them ever since I was 17 (I'm almost 23 now for clarification purposes). And they're very intense. Dad now has cancer so I'm starting to really try and stop ... |

| Loneliness is difficult for me because the people I am attached to are very specific and the reason that I was close to them is also very specific and no one else can replace them. So when they are gone, it does not matter how many other people are in my life, I am always grieving them. |

| Those are all great suggestions except that this is not a caretaker at a facility. This is a general manager of a ski resort. I have to ski because it is really very important for my physical disability and I have to ski at that particular location because it is the only one that I can drive to on t... |

| That's true. I just fear for my safety and that can also make what I do very risky. But I don't have a lot of choices. |

| The reason is that he assaulted and battered me and injured me pretty significantly and then protected himself in front of his company by making it sound like I attacked him. It was not possible for me to attack him because I was catatonic at the time. He also threatened me severely after the event ... |

| It was good of you to leave. They should have left you alone after that. I am sorry you went through this. But you are correct, he should not be stealing from people and picking fights. |

| I ran into one of my bullies today at a place that is important for me to go to on a regular basis, he is the general manager there. Unfortunately there is no other place where I can go to get these needs met for my physical disability. And before anyone says I should complain to his superior, I alr... |

| My husband and parents of course, and medical doctors during female cancer screenings. But I also swim so I am used to being naked in pool locker rooms with strangers, other women. It does not bother me at all. I am just a little self conscious now though because I need to lose some weight. I did ha... |

That way, you stay in your comfortable environment, you get all the rest you need, you control how much time you spend with them and you still get to enjoy being with them and sharing the holidays together.
