I noticed something today that I had never understood before and it explains a lot. It's my results from my executive functioning tests. The executive functioning tests we... |

| I don't consider myself emotionally stable. Like rejection and criticism sends me spiraling out of control and my self-esteem crashes. If someone looks at me the wrong way I feel very slighted. Is all of this normal? Or is it some kind of disorder? I don't know how normal people work 8 hrs a day an... |

| I always get a couple of baby outfits. Pick unisex colored one if you don't know the gender of the baby or if you don't want to go with traditional gender colors.
