>>2567027>Crohn's diseaseI had a couple girlfriend's who had that. I kind of think they thought I was dating material since I wasn't judgemental. One I wasn't physically intimate with because I was kind of awkward and the other I took to prom and made out with after. The first was morbidly obes but surprisingly strong. The second was almost anorexic but actually cute and funny which was why I asked her to prom. Neither one told me much about how Crohn's disease effected their life other than restricting their diet. The first girl needed surgery but she's got kids now so I guess she's doing okay. I hope everything works out for you anon, remember you're not alone.
>ADHDI can empathize personally with this one. I have ADD so while I'm not as hyperactive most of the time, I get spaced out and distracted easily. Just today I was on a riverpath in my city and I spotted a snapping turtle on a rock just off the bank. My first thought was to try sneaking up and catching it, so I crept down the 6 foot bank, nearly slipping more than once. I stood on the floodplain (flat area near the water that get flooded frequently and waited to see if it saw me. It kept looking around and tucking it's heaf in it's shell away from me, but I was cautious nonetheless. On a side note I think this is what distinguishes ADD from ADHD, because if I was hyperactive I probably would have just gone straight for it rather than cautiously sit and observe. Just as I had stood up to move toward it again some guy walking his dog asked me how I got down there. He came down to wash his leash in the river, walked towards the turtle without ever seeing it as it jumped in the water, probably because of his sunglasses. He was a nice guy, we chatted about dogs and hiking for a bit before he left.
I truly believe ADD/ADHD exists because of hunting. Our ancestors needed to be constantly on the look out for signs that something was trying to hide from us. Don't take it for granted.
