Funny I can find a list like this for the YS as I am here stuck in Wisconsin living with a controlling mother who married a ex pedophile yes you saw that. Who last summer into fall tried to groom me. And I’m a bloody adult. 55 with undiagnosed health problems drs don’t worn to dive into because either it’s because I’m poor or they don’t lien my insurance or they lack expertise. I do have sever anxiety and depression as well as inflammatory markers all over the map suggestions many auto immune diseases and have anti phospholipid syndrome yet have six boys. But all have mental health problems one is very sever plus brain damage of unknown origin. I didn’t kno I have than anti phospholipid stuff other wise I would have never gotten pregnant I feel it’s all my fault. Doctors aren’t listening to my physical pain who CB has cause more anxiety and more depression and the pain has made me gain over 100 lbs as well. Us health system sucks bad here if you don’t have money and connections.
