It's crazy that we are the past, present, and future versions of ourselves.

I am running on a protein bar, 2 eggs, and three glasses of Kool aid and I feel GREAT.

This is aimed more towards the Service Dog community...

Okay, so I have had multiple diagnosis over the past few years. My lovely list includes POTS, hEDS, essential tremors, ect. I am a Junior in HS and I am wanting to owner-train a service dog. My mom thinks that exercise and medication will make me better. The meds that doctors have previously given me haven't worked and I just got an exercise program that is specific to my conditions about a five months ago, and have seen little improvement. I rely a lot on my mom to help me do things and when I get to college, she won't be there to help me anymore. I want to become more independent and really struggle to do so now.

We don't have the money to get a dog professionally trained and I have made it clear that I would be willing to put in all the work. My mom has said on multiple occasions that when our *pet* dog dies, that she doesn't want any more (not because she hates animals, but because she loves to travel) I have explained that a service dog is not considered a pet and that it is a piece of medical equipment. She also says that I can just use our arthritic 8yo dog instead of getting an actual sd because I will get better and won't need one later on. I have done extensive research on what breeds that would best fit my needs, what tasks it would need to learn, and how to train them. I have also spent hours upon hours reading our local and state laws as well as the ADA's.

So...I guess my question is, when did you know that you needed a service dog? And how can I convince my mother?

Edit: She is now saying that if I get a Service dog, our pet has to go live somewhere else.

This is her song

I don't believe that the Little Mermaid should be black, or asian, or Mexican.

She shouldn't even be white.

Or human.

Instead I vote Alice to be the new Little Mermaid.

Who is Alice you might ask? Alice is my dog

Can she sing? No

Can she act? No

Can she even obey simple commands? Not without heavy bribery.

Even with not being able to do any of that, I still believe she would make the best Little Mermaid there ever was.

She wanted the part so bad that she even went as a mermaid this year for Halloween.

Vote Alice for Little Mermaid 2023 to help her achieve her dreams.

Just introduced my younger cousin to ✨Vine✨ and he said that they did a Fortnight dance.

FORTNIGHT DIDN'T EXIST DURING VINE

I laughed way to hard at this

No, I don’t take constructive criticism.

Aubry Plaza and Jane Russell have the same scary energy

So I just had blood drawn and it wasn't a lot taken. When I left the lab, it took mabie ten steps before I had the worst and scariest visual blackout I have ever had. It was so intense that I could hardly stand and I think if I had been up any longer, I would have passed out. I felt cold all over but was sweating and I couldn't see a thing. Instead of just seeing black, a cloud of white ended up appearing. I have no idea what happened, but I am really shaken.

I hate having chronic pain. I was perfectly fine right up until I finished my lunch, then it went down hill. My joints started to stiffen and became hard to move and I thought it was because of the cold (which it could have been) so I warmed up my hands with a warm water bottle. It helped to let my fingers move easier, but then the pain started. It started in my hands and spread throughout my body. I took a bath and then just laid under my heated blanket. I am currently sitting on the floor crying because of the pain waiting for my pain meds to kick in.

The worst part about this is that if it was someone else who feels like I do, then they would be able to go to the ER to get relief. Or could go to sleep knowing that it would be better in the morning. I am worried that it will get worse and I will have to miss another day at school when just last week I missed 3 1/2 days.

I am exhausted and overwhelmed and ready to give up.
