Yes, I am regularly in touch with my girlfriend who lived in the same apartment complex with me and went to the same elementary and middle school. She still lives in the same apartment. She has a teenage son with anxiety who resists treatment and is herself at her wit's end trying to help him. It is very hard watching her struggle from across the globe. I met her son once in 2019. At that time, he seemed such a hospitable and cheerful boy. I had no idea about his special needs. I offered to talk to him about psych meds, basically to tell him that I use them and am doing fine, all in hopes that he would be less reluctant to try. But then again, I do not take meds for anxiety and cannot speak to them.

I am also in touch on Facebook with a few other classmates and saw a whole bunch of them in 2019. But I have not been continuously in touch with them since the moment we graduated high school. I started using Facebook regularly in 2014 and gradually discovered my former classmates on it. Many of them have been friends continuously, without interruption, since graduation.

Q: how many times have you moved since you graduated high school?
