Spectrum appointment in store

My girlfriend (21) of more than a year and I (28) are having issues in our relationship. From what she is saying, she is suffering from depression for a long time already, perhaps there are even more mental disorders (borderline?). Yet, for now these illnesses have not yet been diagnosed by a professional. She just recently started going to one. They had 4 appointments yet no diagnosis yet, or so she says (Is this normal?). She says he’s just mostly listens to her. He did give her pills, which she is taking.
We met online two years ago and it took a year for her to reveal her feelings for me. I told her that I can’t do long distance relationships and that if she’s serious about this, she will have to move to my country after a bit of time. It didn’t take her long before moving in with me. For a year everything seemed perfect. Even though she was telling me during this year, how rough her childhood was. How much abuse in the family there was. How many times she was bullied at school. How she was cutting herself and also had very bad thoughts before our relationship. She did say those things, but I’ve never really seen the negative effects of this. She was still cheerful and affectionate around me. Our conversations were going very well. A lot of intimate evenings and even mornings. We had a joyful year. Sure, she didn’t always want to go out. Or didn’t always vibe with some people around us. But the thing is, I personally, never seen how bad the situation is because of her mental illness. She never showed it to me. Or maybe I’m just blind and ignorant. Though I don’t think so because recently she said how she wasn’t truly herself in that year. She thinks nobody will like her if she’s herself. To me this is unfair.
We did have some small arguments from time to time during this year, but to me, these didn’t seem all that serious. I always said how we’ll get through whatever we’re dealing with and that everything will be ok. That I love her. I always tried to stay positive. Never scream at her or hurt her (atleast not intentionally, through words. Never physical). Though I am more of a direct person, maybe I’m also not the best with being careful with my words. I try to describe them exactly as they are.
I work 8-9 hours a day, while I also go get groceries after work. She works 3-6 hours a day as a cleaning lady (sometimes she has days off cuz no work). I also pay for transport and for the food when we go out, always. She never even asked to pay for it once. She does split the rent half half. Because of me working more and paying more. I was kinda expecting her to make dinner for me. Like a giving and taking situation. More often than not. Sometimes she did say she didn’t feel like doing it so I would bring takeout, or make it myself after work.
So this is where the big problem started. It was around 2 weeks ago. I was at work and she called me saying how she doesn’t feel like making dinner. That she will herself go outside to buy food, IF she’s not ingame. (She plays a lot of video games). After I was done with work, I messaged her that I’m going to go get groceries. She instantly responded that she’s still ingame. I came home after 1 hour and asked if she got food. To which she just calmly responded with No. I was a little annoyed because her game rounds don’t last for one hour. And she said she will get food if she’s not ingame anymore. So I told her that she said she will go get food after her game. But she didn’t. She didn’t keep her word. That it feels dishonest. Part of my annoyance is that there were instances before where I come home after a long day at work, have to go get takeout and bring it to her while she just plays video games all day and laughs with her friends. It gives me a bad feeling. It gives me a feeling of being used. To be honest I think I am more sensitive to this because I feel like most of my life people were trying to take advantage of me.
So still during this call where I said this feels dishonest, I said I am not going to go get takeout. I am going to make myself dinner. Would you like something to eat? To which she replied that she doesn’t. After I ate, she came downstairs and gave me this “negative” look. Didn’t ask how my day went, nothing. She looked hurt. I asked her where she’s going. To the Psychiatrist. I asked her if she wants a ride. To which she said yes. On the way there we didn’t speak. I didn’t really like her attitude. I don’t think I did something wrong. After dropping her off and her counselling. She just messaged me “come get me”. I did. She started speaking a bit more normal to me. And she herself started the topic of our issue. How it was very hurtful to her to hear me call her a dishonest person. Even though I didn’t call her names. I just said it feels dishonest. We were back and forth arguing about it. She got a breakdown. Started crying. Went to bed. I started making myself another meal, thought I’d give her space. This might’ve been a mistake, because she did tell me once or twice that when she’s having a breakdown, the best thing I can do is cuddle her. I forgot about this, thought space would do her good.
Next day during my work, I messaged her saying that I’m going to go out with my friend. It was a Friday. I came from work, had to make dinner myself again. She was sleeping when I arrived, even though my sister said she heard her laughing a lot that day (my sister was in the house, another room). Could it be that when it was time to make dinner, she just thought she’ll go to bed so she won’t have to make it? When I went to our floor, she was still sleeping so I went on my PC to kill time. It was almost time for me to go with my friend and then suddenly she wakes up and comes to me. Looking all sad like, barely saying anything. Could barely answer my questions. Kept hugging me. She wanted to try to workout our issue I think. Talk about it. But I said I can’t right now. I told my friend I’d be there at a specific time and I keep my word. That we will talk later. So I went downstairs to make food. I didn’t tell her I was going to make food first. (it’s 3 floors). Before leaving the house, I hear her talking and laughing loudly. I got pissed off because she could barely talk to me, was all sad like. And suddenly she can talk and laugh. This is so weird to me when you say you’re depressed and feel very sad. This instant switch. Feels manipulative to me. Though again, I never had depression, barely know anything about depression. I did talk to her once about it. How she’s all sad to me but can laugh with her friends. She said she was putting on a mask.
I left and stayed until 6 AM at my friend’s place. I felt like shit for two days. Couldn’t concentrate at work and hearing her laugh when I was leaving also pissed me off. I didn’t really feel like coming back that quick. I was having fun with my friend. Charging up my batteries. I guess I needed some space to relax. When I came home she was being cute. Asking if I had fun etc. I didn’t feel good about our situation and I’m not just gonna ignore that I stayed with my friend until 6 AM. I told her why I stayed this late. That I didn’t really feel like coming back. While I was out, she was having a super heavy breakdown she says. That she can’t believe I left her. That I hurt her a lot. That something broke inside of her. We had a talk about this the next day. That this all happened because of my comment on her wrongdoing. She said she was going to do something and she didn’t. She could’ve told me that she changed her mind, say something, but she didn’t. I told her calmly, that it’s not ok. And how she reacted to this situation, escalated this whole thing. That she started to turn herself into a victim, even though I just commented on something I thought was not ok. After a while of discussion she agreed that she was being toxic to me. Acting a lot like her toxic mom. That she was playing the victim and that she’s sorry. After she said that, I relaxed because admitting to a mistake is a good thing. I hugged her and said that it’s going to be alright, that I love her and that we’ll get through this.
Next week she started this topic again. It felt like she was still holding resentment that I didn’t say sorry for making her feel like that. That I left her while she’s having the worst breakdown of her life. Even though, I didn’t. That day she just woke up, wanted to talk about our issue and I said that I can’t because I have plans with my friend and I keep my word. I didn’t know she’s having the worst breakdown of her life. She also didn’t try to call me or message me about it. We didn’t talk for long because I was busy with something. Next thing in bed, we start talking again and by that time I have already read like 20 articles about depression. It said how you should be more supportive. More like a caretaker. That she won’t have the energy to do some chores etc. That I should help out. That words can be very hurtful because her mind is already filled with negativity. So during our bed talk I said that I was sorry that I made her feel like that. That I could’ve just dropped the thing and got the food myself. That I’m reading about depression and will do better. That I won’t pester her about the dishes not being taken downstairs.
That’s when she dropped a bomb on me. She started talking about how much I hurt her. That she’s back into hurting herself (she had scratch marks on her upper left chest side). That she’s really not ok. That she’s tired of me not understanding her condition. That I left her while she was having the worst breakdown of her life. That I wasn’t there for her. That she hates this country and the people in it. That she hates her job. That she thinks she’s going to go back to her country to get space for an unknown amount of time.
I broke down in that moment. I just apologized for my ignorance about depression. How I’m reading about it and trying to improve. How often I said that I’m not going to give up and that we’ll get through this. Also after a year of her saying how important I am to her. How I am the only one that gives her a reason to live. How she wants to marry me and have kids with me. How affectionate she was to me. That before me she was going to give up on relationships. After all that, she’s just going to go back to her country to pretty much take a break from me? Probably that would also lead to a breakup, because it most often does.
I started talking about all that, how this doesn’t make sense. How do you go from 1 year of this talking, into thinking about taking a break after 2 weeks of having issues. Where I also showed the will to change and improve the situation. It just doesn’t make sense. I cried.
After a bit she said she won’t be leaving to her country. Which shocked me even more to be fair. This decision to leave my country to go back to hers is a big step that is supposed to be very thought through. To suddenly change decisions and make excuses that she won’t go made me feel even more like shit. It’s like playing with my emotions. I told her it was fu**ed up.
Since that night she’s being all cute with me, hugging, kissing, trying to have an intimate time (trying because I said no).
My gut says she is dishonest and trying to manipulate me. My logical reason doesn’t let me fall into jumping to these conclusions because I don’t understand depression. So I will give this more time. See what the psychiatrist diagnoses in her and see how it goes. I am very worried about our future.
Tl;dr I cant describe it in one or two sentences

I didn’t know whether to flair this as depressing, help, or vent.
I am 20, nearly 21. When I was around 14, molar broke and I put it off until it was rotting and needed to be extracted. I was so mortified of the dentist that when I attempted to have the work done, I’d end up lashing out at the dentist/assistants and they’d say they couldn’t do anything with me acting like that. Once, when I was about 15, I sat in the chair and as soon as she pulled the needle out, I freaked and started screaming and crying. The memory is so vague because I blocked it out due to how much stress it caused me. She tried so hard to calm me down, but in the end I just couldn’t do it. That tooth turned into another, and another. An abusive relationship later, and now I was 18 with majority of my teeth rotting out of my skull. Eating was painful, and I could only do it on one side because the other had a gaping hole that was severely painful. I was malnourished, in pain 24/7, but this still wasn’t enough to make me go sit in the chair. I was agoraphobic on top of all of this, and the pandemic was making all of this situation even worse. By the time I was 19 I realized I likely have autism (as well as ocd) as my cousin has it and we’ve suspected my sibling of also having it. Finding a way to be diagnosed when you’re agoraphobic is so difficult. Over the span of two years I’d repeatedly gotten x rays done, each visit a living hell where I have an anxiety attack and go non verbal, and my mother has to speak for me. The dentists are made aware of my possibility of being autistic, so they automatically suggest dentures. I can’t do that, I can’t because of the sensory issues of the denture touching the roof of my mouth. I also don’t know if I can keep up with the maintenance, nor can I sleep without them, because the feeling of just my gums against my tongue would be sensory hell. I saw a new dentist recently for a second consultation and she sent me into a complete spiral. The first visit, she was incredibly kind and accommodating, she sounded like she was really going to help me, I was so hopeful for the first time in forever. That was squashed so violently in our next visit. She completely changed her demeanor toward me. She talked to me like I was a child, she told me if I was to be treated by her, she’d do it her way, and that I needed new x rays even though I’d already had recent x rays transferred over from the other office (and x rays are a main stress source for me). She told me if I were to get work done, she wouldn’t allow my mom to stay with me. And she told me I should be the one paying for my appointments because im a “big girl” now. It was utterly humiliating as a grown adult to be belittled and shamed. After I left I had a meltdown, and sobbed for hours. I definitely cannot see her if I can’t be with my mom, and I can’t pay for it because im unemployed and I can’t get a job due to my ongoing mental health issues. Finding a therapist is hard, and im starting to think if im going to get through this I’m going to need at the very least anxiety meds, but I cannot swallow pills, and I have a phobia of vomit, so I won’t take anything with those side effects. I don’t know if there’s any liquid form anti anxiety meds that also doesn’t have those side effects.
I don’t know what to do, any advice for any of these topics would really help. When I talk to my friends, I don’t think they really know what to say cause it’s such a tough situation. Right now, I can hardly eat anymore and I’m in pain all the time, and I can’t even smile anymore as my teeth are missing. I just want to have a healthy mouth again.

Bitcoin yields recently surged to a local high of 72%, hinting at a potential return to the zone to an all-time high (ATH). Looking back at the previous cycle, you can see a similar picture. During this period, bitcoin holders approached the 90% rate of return as the price hovered around the $11,000 mark. This situation could have triggered a sell-off, but instead, investors continued to expand their positions, even though a slight price decline temporarily reduced the number of profitable holders. Ultimately, this resulted in $69,000 ATH. This historical pattern suggests that bitcoin holders maintain a strong belief in crypto during bull markets, consistently increasing their portfolios over time. Thus, even if the price of Bitcoin reaches a point where more than 90% of investors make a profit, similar to the 2020 scenario, there is no good reason to believe that the price will not continue to rise. This insight offers a fresh perspective on the possibility of a sustainable upward trajectory for bitcoin.
While this analysis does not guarantee that Bitcoin will break new all-time highs anytime soon, it highlights the fact that increased profitability does not inherently lead to selling pressure. Investor confidence in the asset, as evidenced by their willingness to hold and accumulate bitcoin during a bull run, is a testament to the cryptocurrency’s potential for further growth. At the time of publication, the first cryptocurrency is trading at around $27.675. That said, in hindsight, bitcoin holdings were profitable 88.5% of the days. Of the 4,593 days that Bitcoin has existed as a tradable asset, BTC holders have experienced 4,065 profitable days, challenging the common narrative of depreciation and volatility in cryptocurrencies. As a result, owning Bitcoin (BTC) is provably profitable in the long run.
Bitcoin's historical price performance confirms that a tight cap on the total supply and unfettered global usability are critical to becoming a store of value. Data from Blockchain.com shows that Bitcoiners have enjoyed 88.50% of profitable days compared to the current market price at the time of writing. Only 531 or 11.56% of the 4593 days were unprofitable for long-term holders. The losing days are from December 28, 2022 to June 12, 2022, when the price of bitcoin exceeded the range of $26,246.58 to $28,344.5. This way of looking at things highlights the importance of understanding Bitcoin's market cycles and why investors should avoid buying highs and selling lows. However, some traders prefer to make daily trades on cryptocurrency exchanges, making much smaller but stable profits.
Meanwhile, the cost of the first cryptocurrency grew while the market was waiting for the results of the Fed meeting, and collapsed after they were announced. On the evening of March 22, while the market was waiting for the announcement of the results of the meeting of the US Federal Reserve System (FRS), the bitcoin rate came close to $29,000. However, after it became known that the FRS raised the rate again, the digital asset fell by $2,000, its rate collapsed to $26.9 thousand. Following a two-day meeting on March 21-22, the Fed raised the rate by 25 basis points - from 4.5-4.75% to 4.75-5% per annum. Based on the results of the next meeting in May, the market with a probability of 49.4% expects a rate increase by another 25 bp. - up to 5-5.25%. The possibility of maintaining the rate at the current level is estimated at 43.8%, a decrease of 25 bp. - in 6.8%. At 12:00 in Hong Kong on March 23, bitcoin is trading at $27.6 thousand, it lost 1.9% in price per day. The market capitalization of the asset is $537 billion with a daily trading volume of $34.6 billion.
The leading altcoins also dropped in price: the Ethereum rate fell by 2.7% over the past 24 hours to $1.76 thousand, BNB fell by 3.9% to $325. The cost of Cardano fell by 5.5% to $0.365, Ripple - by 8.1% to $0.43. The total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies decreased by 2.1% over the day, to $1.2 trillion. The daily volume of trading in digital assets amounted to $81.7 billion.
There are different types of crypto investors and investment mindsets. There are, as is customary in the literature, four main categories of thinking of crypto-stock holders: maximalists, hodlers, fomers and traders. And everyone should be careful. Having said all of the above, investors are advised to take some time to think before making any investment. One of the legitimate forms of investment is, for example, the ASTL investment project, which allows investors to have the opportunity to directly invest fiat and cryptocurrency assets in a stable passive income that obviously exceeds inflationary expectations and is not subject to any sanctions, blocking and confiscation. The ASTL project is a simple and elegant solution for potential investors - an investment in the development of the real sector of a diversified portfolio of cryptocurrencies, with a fairly high ROI (up to 12% annually) with payments in stablecoin (USDT) and the possibility of a full return on investment through the subsequent sale of accrued ASTL tokens on leading crypto exchanges.

GTA 6 is one of the most anticipated games of all time, and fans are eagerly waiting to see what Rockstar has in store for them. While we don't know much about the gameplay of GTA 6, there are a few changes that we could potentially see in the game.
One possible change is an increased focus on realism. In recent years, games have been moving towards more realistic graphics and physics, and it's possible that GTA 6 will follow this trend. This could mean more realistic driving physics, more realistic weapon handling, and more realistic character movements.
Another potential change could be a greater emphasis on player choice. In recent years, games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 have emphasized player choice and branching storylines, and it's possible that GTA 6 could follow suit. This could mean that players will have more freedom to make choices that affect the game's storyline and the world around them.
We could also potentially see more player customization options in GTA 6. In GTA 5, players could customize their character's appearance to a certain extent, but there were still limitations. In GTA 6, it's possible that players will have even more control over their character's appearance and abilities.
Finally, we could see some changes to the game's online multiplayer mode. In recent years, games like Fortnite and Apex Legends have introduced battle royale modes, and it's possible that GTA 6 could follow suit. It's also possible that Rockstar could introduce new modes and features to keep players engaged in the game's online world.
Only time will tell what changes we'll see in the gameplay of GTA 6, but one thing is for sure: fans are eagerly waiting for the game's release.

I found that project phantasm and master of arena are available on the ps3 Japan store, I was wondering if I bought it there I could play it in English?

Usual caveat that the NHS is falling apart and these things do sometimes take a while because of that...
Just wondered really, as I've not heard anything yet and not sure when/if I should expect to. I had my MRI just over 2 weeks ago at a community diagnostic centre (read: in a trailer in a car park on an industrial estate). I assume those results will be sent to the Endo clinic for my doctor there to look at? Will he write me a letter, call me up, write to my GP, or what? Do I have to phone anyone to find stuff out? Basically I don't mind waiting (within reason) but I'm not sure if I should be actively doing anything at this stage.
I'm also waiting for an appointment for a sigmoidoscopy which the Endo doctor mentioned in my appointment back at the beginning of February but I've not heard anything yet so unsure if I should chase (and who I should chase). I'm extra unsure about this one because the Endo doctor told me to schedule it for the week before my period, but nobody's got in touch with me about arranging it yet. Surely I don't just call up the hospital and say, "Hello, I'd like a sigmoidoscopy please"?
Really appreciate any help! Thanks for reading x

These days, it is hard to know who to trust. Everyone poses as the best in their respective fields. Because of this, one should always check the doctor's background to find the best Dermatologist in Noida. Skinlogics, for instance, have been renowned as the best skin clinic in Noida, as some of the best dermatologists work there.

Hey all,
I commented on a post about formula prices and comments just left me absolutely gobsmacked. So, I did the math and currently we are at $72 per month for 2 tubs of formula and couple of bottles of ready made formula. Shortly we will be at 3 boxes per week but it is still leaving us well within $100 range.
Now I am interested about another possibly pricey product. Diapers/nappies whatever you call them, lol. In the UK the most store brands are ridiculously cheap, pack of mamia 56 nappies for £3 - $3,70 (Aldi), little angels 98 for £5,25 - $6,47 (Asda - British Walmart).
I am originally from a country that was part of the Soviet Union, so wages there are still quite low. I am going home for the summer and I was checking the prices of napies there and I am seriously considering to pack nappies with me. Like 50 nappies for 15€ - $16,35? You can F off straight away 😳. So how is it in your countries?

So our DL came in today saying another store that's better than us at script count has accredited their success to marketing their pharmacy to nearby doctor's offices and she wants us to do the same. I overheard this thinking nothing else other than "Sounds like a pain in the ass, but that's a manager's responsibility" until she came up to me after the DL left and said she wants to task me with the project of marketing our pharmacy because I'm good at talking to people. I feel really uncomfortable with this because I'm NOT a salesperson and I feel like this is way beyond my scope as a tech. Have any of you guys been in this position? I'm still in my probation too so I feel especially uncomfortable saying no.

30F here. For context, my mom passed away in 2019 and I recently met my birth father for the first time. Apologies if I'm incorrect, but to my understanding there may be genetic and environmental factors that affect autism in children. My mom had me at 40 years old and after meeting my dad, I learned he's on the spectrum.
As a teacher of 8 years, I am familiar with ASD and learning exceptionalities - working with children and teenagers. In my formal and informal observations of different folks, I recently had an aha moment with myself.
I struggle with anxiety, but I am excellent at masking. Over the years I feel like I've studied peoples emotions, read self help books, and learned appropriate social behaviours. The calm, collected self people perceive me as, is very curated to say the least.
After my recent meeting with my birth dad, my cousin (related on my dad's side) who works in the medical field, also said he demonstrates some autistic traits. We met about two years ago through a DNA match on a website and we both had estranged relationships with our dads.
Out of curiosity, we both did an online quiz - https://www.autismontario.com/programs-services/adults/adult-diagnosis and I scored 30 which was indicated as "high risk".
I understand taking a quiz isn't a determinant and having some parental factors aren't a diagnosis, but it seems like an official assessment is expensive. My partner had asked if a diagnosis would really change my life as an adult, in which I replied - maybe not, but it might give me a context for my childhood?
I had a lot of social difficulties growing up, some behavioural issues, some extreme learning challenges, sensory issues, etc. As I grew up, I learned to adapt and as an adult I struggle with serious burn out on a day to day basis now. I constantly feel sensory overload.
Any ladies out there with an adult diagnosis? Was the assessment cost and process worth it or would you recommend a particular route for finding the appropriate service?

I’m completely sighted and my boyfriend is completely blind. I don’t have many blind friends I can ask for advice and perspective from regarding relationship advice, so I’d really appreciate this.
Recently, my boyfriend told me a friend of his was coming into town. When he brought this up to me, he said, “Would you like to come? If not, I can Uber.” It kind of raised this feeling in me that I wasn’t just being invited, but I was indirectly being asked to drive. I told him this made me feel like I’m not actually being invited out of wanting my company and I’d almost prefer him make his own plans (like with Uber), invite me to tag along and then allow me the space to offer to drive if I was able to.
And while he’s willing to do that for me, he also expressed that he usually does see me as a Plan A, and if I can’t drive for whatever reason, he’ll go with Plan B like Ubering, which is more expensive. And I guess logistically, I can understand that but I guess it just makes me feel like a convenience and gives me an added pressure that if I say no, he’ll have to shell out extra costs/time that aren’t ideal for him.
There have been other cases where I’ve asked him if it’s possible for him to do things himself like cleaning his prosthetic eye or calling the doctor’s office if an online form isn’t accessible, instead of defaulting me as a Plan A to take care of it.
I feel like I’m a hyper-independent person because I’ve grown up on my own for most my life, which has come in handy in some parts of our relationship or stressful emergencies in our life living together. And I know I also have past trauma around being used in relationships. But I also know my partner has expressed worries about being a burden — together making it a hard conversation we’re currently dealing with.
I try to be accommodating in other areas of our life. I make significantly more and I pay 70% of all our bills so he still has money to himself, instead of splitting our expenses down the middle. I am more than happy to be the one driving when we’re going somewhere together. When I was apartment hunting for us, I looked for a place that had truncated domes, multiple bus stops within a half mile, coffee shops and convenience stores nearby so he could safely navigate. And in general, I try to be as inclusive in our life together as possible (adding alt text to all our photos, describing things as we walk around, labeling our kitchen in braille, etc.). But for some reason, it’s specifically around helping him with things that pertain to his personal life that makes me step back and wonder if it’s something he can do independently.
But I’m starting to feel like: Am I just a dumb sighted person? Who doesn’t get it and expects too much of others? Am I a bad partner for saying no or pushing back in these instances? Is there a partner out there for him that would happily do these things and am I holding him back from that?
Appreciate the time and response in advance!

So for context I keep my wife's old driver's license in my wallet so that if they want to see mine or hers or both IDs when buying alcohol at the grocery store I can just whip either or both out. Today we were checking out with self-check out at the grocery store, got a 6 pack of beer. An attendant came to clear us as being 21+ and asked for both IDs. She looked at my wife's for a long time and said she couldn't approve it because the license was expired. I said, "Well, the birthday doesn't expire...?" My wife dug her current license out of her purse and all was well. We just found it bizarre.

Hi, sorry to have to ask this it’s a bit embarrassing actually. I’m hoping someone might know how I can get help from somewhere like a food bank asap? The last time I got any money was 10th Feb and I’ve been trying my best to make it stretch since but i expected some sick pay. I’ve been out of work for 6 weeks after having surgery, I asked my employer to look into SSP and he’s told me im not eligible as I’ve not worked there for long enough so I’m having to ask HMRC to look into it. In the meantime I’ve set up a Universal Credit claim online, I applied for an advanced payment but first I’ll need to confirm my ID and bank details with them which I have an appointment for on Tuesday. Until I get the advance I’m in a situation where I just have nothing to eat and I’m not sure what to do. I don’t even know if I’m eligible for any help as I’m technically still working. If anyone knows what I should do or has any suggestions please let me know. Cheers

Hello wonderful people! I would like some advice on something that I've been struggling with for nearly my entire life that I've only recently realized is a problem. I'm a hoarder. There's no other way to put it. I own and run a used book store that I started 60 years ago when I first noticed I had a problem and decided i needed to do something to decrease the size of my hoard. Unfortunately books are only a small percentage of the things I collect and also my most recent obsession. hardly anyone comes to my bookstore anymore so my collection has begun growing again. In my lair beneath the bookstore I have countless collections in sorted stacks and piles. Everything from bottle caps to motorcycles. I have a collection of ancient coins that would put the Smithsonian to shame right beside a pile of broken heaters that continues to grow with each passing year. The hoarding began in my youth when I started collecting the breastplates and helms of those who had seeked me out to claim the honor of taking my life and after a time I became fond of the trinkets the warriors would sometimes carry and started hoping for an attack simply to expand my hoard. However the attacks grew less and less frequent until they stopped all together. It was at this point in my life that I realized if I wanted to continue collecting various items I would have to make some drastic changes in my general appearance and demeanor. I did this and though it took me several years I found myself among the people and among an unlimited supply of items to collect. And that's where my problem really started to get out of hand. Every time I found a collection to be to large I would start collecting something new while still occasionally adding new items to my previous collections. My problem is this. I find myself unbearably unable to stop collecting books even though I'm completely out of room in the bookstore. Should I start adding some of my favorite novels to a collection in the lair below and donate the rest to a thrift store and start collecting something new? If so what would you suggest?

Have a wedding coming up later this year. If you are fond of or know about good suits and where to get them can you recommend a place? Also can you include in your answer a price range I’d be looking at for that store.
