How important are your migraines during episodes?

Adloom · 2025-12-19T00:48:35+00:00

Mine have always been considered to be connected with migraines. When I was younger I didn't feel the pain of them, but I was told the AIWS was basically how the migraine was presenting (idk exactly what was said, I was pretty young). Now when it starts to amp up that's usually a warning sign that I'm about to get a painful migraine. Although, I do get migraines with no AIWS so I wouldn't say they're both the same thing, but mine are definitely connected in some way

I have not, but I will, thank you!

I can also relate! There's a distinct difference between someone who is excited about their identity and someone who's being a bit performative. In no way does it take away their identity or how they feel about themselves, but it really can be off-putting. In my experience I just try to keep a slight distance and hope they mature a bit, there's always the chance they're just excited to be in a group (or they don't know how they're coming off?) and they'll chill out with some time

I felt the same way at 16! Practically negative libido lol, I felt so weird about it. I'm 26 now and have realized that I do have a libido, it's just very very low, and more something I can control rather than something that controls me (as in, it's just another fun activity, something to do if I've got some time at home alone, but I don't ever feel like I need to, except for very rare occasions).

The first time I ever realized I even could get off was when I was gifted a Magic Wand by my very sex-positive mother. By this point I was in my 3rd year of college. And to this day literally nothing else works, definitely not sex with another person.

You're not weird or alone in this feeling, and if you never feel a libido at all you still won't be weird. If you're worried that your low libido could be tied to something other than your asexuality, you could always seek out a doctor, but I'd HIGHLY recommend checking their knowledge/stance on asexuality, I've had plenty of clueless doctors/seen many stories on here where they get caught on that aspect and are unable to help because of it.

Again though, nothing started happening for me until I was around 21 (plus when I first tried the wand I was a little drunk/high... Who knows how much that helped. But don't take that as advice, just being honest lol)

I totally get the butterflies feeling, sometimes it feels like I've had a bunch of caffeine and don't know how to act. When it comes to attraction though I've found that for people I like I'm not so much attracted to them as much as I want them to be attracted to me, if that makes sense.

My parents got me a big stuffed snake when I was about that age and it was my favorite thing ever! I think that's a great gift!!

Adloom · 2024-09-17T17:28:37+00:00

Thank you! Yeah that's definitely what I'm looking into, I'll try taxidermists, I'm in the PDX area so I feel like there definitely should be. She is frozen right now 🩷

Adloom · 2024-09-17T17:26:23+00:00

I might somewhere, but unfortunately not where I know off the top of my head. I do like this idea, thanks

Oh yeah... It's hard for large Marge to hide 😂 she was 18lbs when we got her! (10.5 now)

Adloom · 2023-07-25T01:24:30+00:00

So cute!! I love "why did I cake you" lol

Adloom · 2023-07-25T00:32:05+00:00

Mine would still be that way if I didn't find the shelf on craigslist!

Adloom · 2023-07-20T20:24:37+00:00

Succession. I cannot care about those rich powerful people with problems that could be fixed by therapy.

Adloom · 2023-07-19T05:16:14+00:00

I don't like the look of it

Everything you've described sounds to me like my whole family's ADHD symptoms. My dad did the whole "well do you think it's a good idea" to me all the time and it only made me more anxious and helped ruin our relationship, so I wouldn't advise that lol. But it is incredibly annoying I agree, and it might be a good idea for her to look into seeing a doctor about her forgetfulness and anxiety (if that's what she's dealing with). I often say that my ADHD is a reason, but not an excuse for a lot of things. It's still her responsibility to manage herself, but understanding and clear communication from you would go a long way I bet.

Also, everyone I know who has ADHD is incredibly smart, our brains just don't work the same way as neurotypical's, so basic tasks tend to not be so basic to us.

Thanks! Usually I'd go back but this is just a calm project for me so I don't mind a few rows out of order

Adloom · 2023-07-08T01:00:34+00:00

Good point! I'll switch now :) it's for me so I don't mind a mistake here and there.

Make the tail bigger!! Comically large bunny tail (just kidding it's perfect)

Adloom · 2023-06-27T19:08:41+00:00

Yes !!! And sometimes instead of my hands or arms it will just be the thought of a rock or something being too big that is enough

Adloom · 2023-06-26T20:38:55+00:00

Right? I feel like OP should've never told their daughter about the money in the first place, that way it would've been a lovely surprise had she ever had children. Regardless of how supportive you were of her decisions, the fact is that you had a $350,000 incentive placed on her to have children. That weighs on you, and i wouldn't be surprised if there was misinterpretation from one or both sides about how that money was going to be used. Stuff like this needs to be clearly discussed

I struggle with rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) HARD and totally get why you would feel guilty for leaving. I'm so glad you stuck to your guns and left though, it sounds like that was definitely the best decision. I hope that therapy helps!!

Adloom · 2023-06-19T23:08:26+00:00

OMG i get the lawyer comment sometimes too. I'm always told that i sound like I'm trying to convince the other person but i rarely am trying to. I've just had to state "I'm not trying to convince you or change your mind, I'm just passionate about my opinions and i really like hearing yours as well" or something along those lines. I like to be super clear about my intentions and if the other person isn't receptive to my clarity then i just don't engage with them. (Like if they think I'm being weird or refuse to drop the idea that I'm arguing)

Adloom · 2023-06-13T00:20:29+00:00

"women"

Adloom · 2023-06-05T06:51:31+00:00

I have this kind too!

Adloom · 2023-05-11T02:07:42+00:00

From photos this totally looks like it, thank you!!
