I'm lucky to have a loving husband with whom I have great contact and no real financial problems. Otherwise... when my younger child was... |

| I am an ADHD and ASD therapist. It's a beautiful job but very demanding. I see on average 7 to 8 clients a day, 50 minute sessions on an 8 hour work day. I'm exhausted when the day is done :skull: Anyone else working in the field? 7-8 patients a day is too much even for an NT therapist!! ! ! ! ! Ar... |

As far as I am aware, this is t... |

| I absolutely detest foundation. How can anyone have it on their face the entire day? The idea of having paint on my face just freaks me out. All of the other make up I am less fussy about, though I rarely go for a full face of make up. Eyebrow pencil is a must for and it does not cause sensory issue... |
