Just one quick bitch, part two

[Trigger 11]

Checked cleared today.

My bitch: MDD Type 1 and the potential my minions may have had it genetically passed down to them, but someone won't get tested. It's either 50% or 0%. Her brother was just diagnosed up at Johns Hopkins. She has had symptoms like pregnancy troubles, fibromyalgia, etc. Son has been having a lot of "growing" pains and it is worse if it develops in childhood. I want to know if I need to be concerned for him and his sisters.

Not familiar with MDD. Muscular dystrophy?

You and they got my best wishes, and wishes that they are in the clear mate.

MDD = Major Depressive Disorder.

Some weirdo knocked on my door at 3am last night. Not sure if it was someone with criminal intentions or a neighbour with complaints about my music (which I play most nights til the wee hours, and I heard my screen door opening over the music so it wasn't that loud). Whatever it was I wasn't game to answer the door.

^Weird indeed.

I have a sore neck. I really should go to the chiropractor but I lack funds.

  Can the kids be screened for it, since their mother refuses to have herself tested?

It's genetic testing and VERY expensive. Cheaper to test her (one person) first and then it can be ruled out, or be something to consider if any symptoms show up.

Formal costs are SO expensive. Hopefully she becomes a Millionaire when she is older and keeps Dad very comfortable in retirement

  I hear the kids at work talking about their prom expenses.  Everything's so costly these days. 

I have the dress, shoes, bag, and have saved for the jewelry and make up. Still need to save for the hair, limo and the $150 bloody admittance.

No way things get that expensive here. Not because my kids are cheapskates, there simply is no such thing as a formal prom and such.

I got a message from my ex best friend saying how unsupportive I was about her self harm. Hell, she nearly topped herself a few times doing it, I was beside myself with worry. She kept saying how she would never do it again and then she would do it again.

She also said in this message how much she and her family had done for me so I had not only hurt her, but her family too. Geez.

I would like to reply but I don't know what to say.

Is this the friend you so often went to see?

Looks like from selfharming she now went to harming her environment. Making life a bit harder for her self by being sownright nasty to you.

The problem is not with you. It is with her.

You rock, Ren.

  Just realized that the coffee I've been drinking at home for days is the "lite" kind, with
  half the caffeine.  As Jesse Pinkman once said, I don't know how I could be so stupid! 

It took you days to realise?

So, placebo caffeine works just as well for you?

Thanks Pyraxis.

Sometimes I don't know if what I say will make her upset or not. She strikes me as being very borderline but she says she only meets 3 criteria.

Not often that I think "borderline". But what you described, including the way she treats the people wanting to help her and discarding all knowledge that is different from what she wants to hear, 'borderline' was my first thought.

I just read Ren's description. Maybe wose than borderline. Maybe NPD  even ?
In any case , Ren, that's emotional blackmail, and totally shitty behaviour. Please don't let yourself be hurt by it.

  I guess I thought my tolerance level was high enough to explain the lack of alertness.

At my school, a magazine subscription fundraiser was used each for prom expenses, so there was no admittance fee and everyone could go.
