As a person with ADHD, I can’t make my stories very succinct. Thankfully Threads lets me write as much as I want, so if you’re interested in how I made our Christmas tree smell like koala pee, you can follow me there 👍🐨
Three weeks ago my husband had to literally babysit me every second of the day so I wouldn’t kill myself. You’ll have to forgive me if I don’t have the mental or emotional energy to make a statement about the last few days... Just know a lot of betrayed people are hurting...
And to that, my husband hasn’t stopped looking after me and taking me to appointments and making me food and trying to balance work and his sick wife, so please be considerate of how fucking exhausted he is too. Thank you ❤️
Today,
@jack_p
got up earlier to play video games and when I was ready for us to go out for the day, we discovered we were exactly matching. He said he’d change his shirt. I said no. We are very married. (Also I put on a cardigan)
Don’t. Don’t do this. He’ll never ever know you did, so you won’t get brownie points. He won’t win - it’s just another vote for Trump. Just don’t and say you did if it’s that important.
I’m not comfortable sharing my full story yet, but I will say that
@jack_p
has been the best friend & partner anyone could ask for. He’s sacrificed so much these past few months, and done everything possible to take care of me. I am so grateful for him (and sorry to the Wardens).
We finally did it. Our trellis is complete, and my climbing roses have been planted and are in training. This has been 1 year in the planning and 8 months in the works, but it’s finally finished. We are so excited! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Happy four years to my best friend and favourite person in the whole world. I can’t imagine spending our anniversary doing anything more special than
#RTExtraLife
. Our life is a good one. ❤️
Jack mailed me this shirt and these car stickers nearly 8 years ago. He obviously knew something I didn’t because guess who got accepted into
@UTAustin
? No, not them — it’s me. Obviously, Sharon, keep up. Anyway. Here’s, Wonderwall.
I am absolutely, 100% all for turning your life around, admitting your errors and trying again. But mate, you’re addicted. You can be in 10 “therapy programs” and they still won’t work if you don’t admit you’re addicted to power and being a figure head. This isn’t the way 😢.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but when Jack says goodbye to AH & RT people on Zoom, he tells them he loves them. And... I think they maybe say “love you too” back. 🤫🥺
Happy Birthday to my best friend and legally bonded other half. I am the luckiest person ever to get to hang out with you today, tomorrow, and the rest of our days ahead. You are a wonderful man and you make me a better human.
Getting so frustrated at people who are belittling Texans for poorly navigating/ being excited about a snow storm. Friends:
1. There are people here who’ve never even seen snow, let alone had to live in it, and 2. Let people enjoy things. Let them be excited. I sure as shit am!
This is what
#mentalIllness
looks like. Sure, exceptions exist, but before you say “we should rid the world of mental people”, please remember: I’m a mental person and I’d really like to be given the chance to make a difference. Thank you 😊 xo

I had to petition my college today to allow me to drop 2 classes past the drop deadline. I have struggled so much this semester and have felt so ashamed, but this is just a moment in my life - it doesn’t define me, and I’m doing what’s right for myself.
Hi friends, for those who rightfully also want to prevent a serial predator from returning to

Holy f***ing s*** y’all I just made it through the COVID semester at university. Excuse me while I take my first shower all week and then get inexplicably wine drunk. For three days.

Trying a supplement for my antidepressant and I’ve gotta know IS THIS WHAT NEURO-TYPICAL PEOPLE FEEL LIKE?? Because for the first time in about 17 years, I don’t feel like everything is utterly pointless. What a fucking world. What a fucking world, indeed. 😍😍
This is why I started the hashtag
#FaceOfMI
- to combat the stereotype that mentally ill people are only that: mentally ill. But that’s never been true. We are diverse in our abilities & our functioning, and I am an example of that. I would love to see more

posts! ❤️
Jack and I just sat backed up in traffic, so confused, only to discover that we are seeing miles long lines for a food bank happening today. My heart is so broken. I am so ashamed at the so-called leaders of this nation who are letting so many people starve. It’s disgusting.
Dear
@JamesWillems
,
My husband and I recently started running, and afterwards (around 8:30/9pm) when we get home, I am too tired to eat and only drink a protein shake. Is this enough? Should I eat more?
Love your stuff, big fan.
Sincerely,
Caiti
Today I found out my proposal to turn this
@UTAustin
space into a native garden was funded! I worked really hard to convince a lot of people it is worth doing, so I’m equal parts proud of myself and also so heckin’ stoked to get started! Thanks

I just watched
@FionaNova
do a ton of emotional labour today for

. I know
@jack_p
and I can tell her we support her until we're blue in the face, but it is our choices & actions that will really prove it as time goes on. Let's all do the work together.

On another note, I got 247/250 on my American Sign Language final, and I’m just sitting in my car crying from exhaustion and pride. So that’s today.

#ASL
If we will not address access to firearms, let’s at least address the toxic egotism that’s killing women and children every day. Two mass shootings linked to “humiliation” within days of each other. 15 people dead. Don’t want to talk about guns? Talk about THIS.
Today we said goodbye to Qusay; our sweet, unbelievably unphotogenic, girl. She was the matriarch of our furry family and a biscuit making master. I’ll miss her love, her warmth and her cuddles.
Ryan is a human and deserves to be treated with dignity, of course, but so do the people he irreversibly hurt. This is scarily lacking in remorse and is almost like a check list of “things I’m supposed to say.” Stay away, friends. This guy should be privately healing. He’s sick.
Had to drop a class for mental health reasons, which means I may graduate a semester later, but sometimes you have to make choices like this for your health. Remember YOU are the most important part of your education journey. ❤️📚
@JoeBiden
Sir, with all due respect, this is the America I have been in constant fear of since I moved here 7 years ago. If it weren’t, Trump never would have won at all. I hope beyond hope that you address these underlying systemic issues during your term, so that so many can feel safe.
For the past 3 weeks, while I finished this semester,
@jack_p
has not only had to live like a bachelor, but has also been feeding and cleaning up after me (you would not believe the dishes). He even cleaned out my reusable straws you guys. So grateful for my amazing husband. ❤️
Defo the best Christmas gift is this photo my 7yo nephew took of
@jack_p
and I this afternoon. He had to stand on a chair, and bless him, he framed us perfectly. Love my Texas family very much.
Happy birthday to the best man I’ve ever known. He’s an incredible friend, partner, and dad to our (furry) kids. He’s beyond patient and has the most gentle heart. I feel very lucky, every day, to have found my home in him. I love you,
@jack_p
. You are aces.
Was going to post about maintaining my 4.0 GPA and getting accepted into the honours program, but I realised it seemed like I did it all alone, but I didn’t. I wouldn’t have made it without my professors, tutors, friends, and
@jack_p
. I needed help to succeed and that’s okay :)
I have seen
@jack_p
tackle a lot, but it’s been a while since he’s had to juggle the mess that has been the last few days. I am constantly in awe of just how hard working, patient and resilient he is. I’ve never met a person who embodies “the show must go on” more than him.
I know
@RoosterTeeth
and
@AchievementHunt
aren’t perfect, but they have access to a group of people who are being recruited by bigotry and hatred, and they can help open those minds. This is before and after listening to
#OffTopic
last week.
Alright, last
@runDisney
post for now. My finishing photo came through. What you don’t see is me openly crying when the nice lady put my medal around my neck. I’m proud of myself today. I hope you have good days like this too. Much love.
Wait! Stop scrolling!
1. Relax your shoulders and neck.
2. Take a slow, deep breath in.
3. Slowly breathe out.
4. Look up from your phone for a min.
*sticks tongue out at you*
5. Another deep breath.
6. Do what ever you need to right now ❤️
Happy birthday to the inspiration of my life, the light of the world, my hope when all is dark, and my favourite human in the world:

Jack has left for Australia and I am sad. I know you’ll take good care of him though! (If you don’t, you better bloody believe this galah can bite). Have fun at Achievement Hunter Live! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Just got an accumulative score back from 50+ students for a speech I did a few weeks ago in my philanthropy class. I left feeling like a failure — a classmate even said “you could have done better.” Turns out I came first in my group and top 5 in the class. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
*longest exhale in the history of ever*
No one will ever buy my candles also I’m going to fail school and my husband is going to leave me and I’m probably going to die soon so what’s the point of anything plus I’m a bad person.
HOORAY TODAY
If I’m not as active for the next month, it’s because I’m in the UK participating in a study abroad program for two classes! Archaeology and Cultural Anthropology. I AM VER VER EXCITE. 🇬🇧🏴🏴🇫🇷🏴
Just wanted to remind you that you don’t have to have all the answers. Things can suck. I’ll not try to talk you out of that. But you’re not alone. You’re never alone. And not in a creepy way, but like... an *awkward hand on your shoulder* sort of way. ❤️😶🖐
This one day at school, when I was 12, the girl who bullied me every day stopped and said “wow, you look pretty today”. I was so shocked and so stoked, I just said “thank you”, and she said “PRETTY UGLY!” and that’s pretty much been today’s vibe.
Just a friendly reminder that I’m a mentally ill person & I don’t want to kill people. Please remember that when someone you love tells you they’re struggling, as your fear will only drive them further into isolation of themselves: likely to take their own life (and not others).
Just got an email that my classes have all been moved to online and
@UTAustin
is closing it’s campus for the semester. Times feel very scary, but I’m focussing on the rain, my beautiful husband, and our work in the garden.
Thank you,
@FionaNova
, for doing the right thing and for listening to the very constructive, not at all sexist or racist, criticism from your fans. As a woman who is also not a pro Xbox GTA player, you inspire me to do the same. *cuts up license*
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that, since I can’t properly drive in GTA V on an xbox controller, it means that I can’t drive irl. I’m in the process of getting my driver’s license revoked as we speak.
Sorry to disappoint but Mansucktitties69 on youtube, makes the rules.
Of all of this, I’m really not angry at the city. I’m not even really mad at people for “overusing” power. What I am is devastated that it’s taking tragic weather emergencies to finally demonstrate the toll of climate change. Climate change is real - and here is glaring proof.
