I'm having another bad day. It's not bad so much as upsetting.I get upset.No triggers neccessary.
I'm just upset. Crying like a child.
I'm a 44 yo hard man. I frighten old ladies with my looks. I'm tough and mean.
But I get upset and the tears don'y stop.

Hi @Rick I am new and we have not met, but your posts mean something to me.
I believe its important that we give and take ... sorry you have not been well but still your voice is important well or not.
I have an uncle with severe tics and also suffered the grief of loss of a living daughter .. it is unbeleievably difficult.
I think that activism in the sector is VERY important. I hope that the paper went well ..

I also am interested in the journey from no play, no fun, no joy ... into a life where those things become more natural.
Hope conference went ok
