My brother made up a birthday years ago. He has close to 2k friends and he was curious which would know this was a very mild prank and which would think it was actually his birthday
I nearly failed. I had to text my sisters to confirm I wasn’t losing my mind

Facebook reminded me it was my mom’s birthday on monday, which was great because I actually had forgotten, & I got to be all smug when my dad texted me to remind me.

Just saying this because I need it out of my head - my mental health diagnoses technically make me disabled.
I have spent $$$ & time to be functional. The disorders STEAL from my personality & self.
So while I understand many disabled folks don’t want to be “fixed”, i am trying to be fixed

My cat yelled at my husband for kissing me because he was in My Space and she hates when he violates Her Space.
And i had to be like “it’s okay. He’s got consent, but i love that you’re girl’s girl”
And then my husband was like “why are you talking to the cat when I’m kissing you??”
