| I pulled up this thread after using the search function looking for organization tips, I know it is a few years old, but whatever.

| I hardly ever drink, and definitely only socially, when friends insist I "have a good time". Yet I recently went to a couple of AA meetings to support someone close to me who didn't want to attend his first meetings on his own. I related to some of the things people shared at these meetings so deepl... |

| I get clumsier before and at the beginning of my period (I have crappy gross motor skills as it is, but great fine motor skills for crafting and such). And I get an urge to clean house, which I think is the anxiety triggering a need for control. |

| Now that I have my diagnosis, I'm reluctant to 'officially' disclose it. I am more interested in maybe getting a therapist that could give me some specific coping strategies than letting my bosses know., but I've chatted about it with a friendly coworker already, I am not really planning to hide it... |

| I miss my dreadlocks, but they have been a memory for almost four years. My hair is past my shoulders now. I get it dyed reddish, previously bleached blond, naturally dark brown.

| Not at this time of the month :( but sometimes I am bisexual and have definite penis envy. I find most women's BS to be, well, BS, the way men do. On the other hand, the way lots of men behave is totally assholeish. I like to camp and get dirty and not shower that much, makeup and high heels annoy m... |

I want to get some specific help, since I have never gotten that much out of the shrinks that I saw for depression. I think it would be more helpful to get some coaching on coping skills specif... |
