[QUOTE="SHBailey, post: 1786737, member: 89387"] I'm no stranger to ADD and OCD and Asperger's -- a number of my family and friends have one or the other or a combination. Nothing to apologize for -- it's not your fault, just something about the way you're "wired". I was "lucky" enough (out of this rather interesting gene pool and somewhat functional/dysfunctional family that I come from :roll: ) to end up with unpredictable and debilitating episodes of depression and fatigue. They've never really been able to get a good diagnosis, but "cyclothymia" and/or "chronic fatigue" probably come the closest. Psychotherapy has just as much chance of doing me more harm than good as helping me at all, and medications either make me crazier than I already am or don't work at all, so like you, I don't like it but I've learned to live with it as best I can. It ended what was left of my career when I was only in my late forties, but I'm lucky to be married to a man who is willing and able to be the sole breadwinner for a semi disabled wife and two reptiles, and willing and able to help me take care of them when I'm not up to it. I used to use the liquid calcium -- I'd spray it on a superworm and roll it in Reptivite to make Puff a tasty little vitamin treat, but that was before we swore off superworms after that lovely little afternoon at the vet's trying to find a live superworm that I'd seen crawling around in his head behind his eardrum. :puke: If he can't chew them up more carefully than that, we're not doing that anymore... Now we dust the vitamins and the calcium on the crickets. It sounds like you've got yourself quite a little menagerie -- I wouldn't have the energy to take care of that many critters, and my poor husband would probably get stuck with most of the chores. And since I'm not up to doing my fair share of the work more than half the time, we're maxed out with my husband's full time job, one snake, and one beardie with his little entourage of crickets and roaches. So I don't feel particularly "awesome" but it's nice of you to think so. :mrgreen: And I just realized this thread is over 4 years long and I only signed on here late last year. So one of these days I hope to go back and read the whole story... :) [/QUOTE]
