    are you me? lol

    my father’s side has autism, depression, anxiety, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol and obesity.

    my mother’s side has autism, adhd, anxiety, alcoholism/addictions and cancers galore.

    i got every single one of those and been getting treatment for all of it decades now, plus the added “benefit” of knowing that i’ll be dead sometime in my late 60’s to early 70’s because of it; i’m middle aged now.

      I’m in a very similar boat. I’ve been telling my husband gently that almost nobody in my family makes it to 70…
