Yeah, so, i kind of elaborated on this a bit more on another thread tonight. So i actually got an official test result with this, or maybe like a "partial diagnosis". I forget the wording. So, and i mean i do have some like emotional reactions to relationship stuff, like i can't work as well on certain things unless i have company...

But yeah, i also am a bit codependent. I can like walk and have all of my limbs, but I'm weaker and/or have less endurance because of a kind of autoimmune disorder and thyroid and woman's issues, so like i MIGHT be able to live on my own, but it truthfully would not be pleasant, and i dont have a job or money for insurance and health care that i am pretty dependant on right now. So, I'm not sure if that's what most people think of as invalid, but that's what i meant.

But so yeah, like maybe the fact that i am TERRIFIED of the thought of ever having to apply for and keep a job, might be considered a dependancy? Like i feel like at this point, someone will have to hook me up and be SUPER forgiving... Also, i have never lived alone, not where i had to support myself. Always had someone else paying the bill. So yeah, terrifying to think of the alternative.
