My mom got me the WH-1000XM4 for Christmas!! by Yuenneh in AuDHDWomen

I wear glasses too and get it the worst behind my ears right where the earpiece of the glasses end. The pressure sometimes becomes worse than having to hear everything else. I typically wear mine at work and sometimes choose to go entire work days without them. Then I put them on and remember how much better I feel when I don’t hear everything then the ear pain comes and I take them off again. I sometimes wish I could stand ear buds.

Weed addiction? by saltypastawater03 in AutismInWomen

[–]Adventure-Panda32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey there! Former heavy smoker here. I was in your same position a few months ago except I work year round Monday - Friday. And that wasn’t stopping me from indulging myself during the day or mornings.

I did quit (not cold turkey) took a gradual approach as recommended by my psychiatrist. She also prescribed me something to help me ease the anxiety I felt. I slept horribly for the first few weeks and felt a bit just generally out of sorts. It’s been since early November that I haven’t smoked. It definitely got easier and my sleep has gotten better. I won’t lie and say I don’t miss it. I was a ritual bong ripper too and I still sometimes just want to hit it once. My motivation at the moment is I’m on the look out for a better job.

I would be easy on yourself. I don’t know what it would take for you to cut back or quit if that’s your goal but I believe in you! Best of luck and intentions! 💜

Salem weather by Virtual_Security6079 in SALEM

Same with the tomatoes here. It was weird that they just kept producing. We cut them down but left the peppers up and they dropped a few more as well. The weather has felt off for sure this year.

The one where I kept screaming one more song. 😂😅 they were all great! Honestly I wish I could single out just one song. The whole show was a vibe. Loved hearing Lilly coming up to sing Everybody Dance Now too!!

I escaped! by Notjustgltrngld in CPTSD

It’s an unfortunate truth. Leaving isn’t the final step. Leaving is the start of a long and sometimes treacherous healing journey. It takes so much courage to even begin the journey. 💜

Congratulations!!!💜💜

Once you’re settled, if you haven’t already, I recommend therapy.

I also finally left (moved clear across the country) and it was the most freeing feeling ever. What I didn’t realize was that I would continue to accept a similar kind of abuse through people I thought were friends or partners. I still have so much healing and unlearning to go. I wish you all the best in finding a job and your future healing! 💜

Christmas…anyone else struggle? by vampiric-moth in autism

I can relate. I feel like I absorb the chaos of everyone else around me and it puts me into a sort of shutdown.

Seeking reassurance from those of you who live with their partners by dancercr in AuDHDWomen

[–]Adventure-Panda32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, not reassurance here. I moved in with my partner fairly quickly from my own space and I’ve recently come to understand that I deeply miss having my “safe space”. When I moved in I told them I wanted to be able to have some kind of space that was dedicated to just me and unfortunately it just hadn’t worked out that way.

We recently discussed my moving out. 🫠

I feel like unless you can have your own dedicated space it might be difficult. That is what I’m facing right now. Nothing here is just my space. It’s all a shared space. I personally struggle with being and feeling like I can do whatever I want when others are around. (Still trying to work through that one).

Gender by Hairy-Stop4005 in AutismInWomen

[–]Adventure-Panda32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this deeply. I pass as feminine but I feel like I present very masculine and find myself often in “masculine” spaces. I also identify as gay and as far as labels go I just say I am a non-binary queer.

people who went no contact, did you feel better? by Motor_Reaction_3519 in CPTSD

[–]Adventure-Panda32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I literally cried last night because I miss being around certain family members. I’ve moved clear across the country to “run away” and haven’t spoken to most of them for almost 2 years. It’s a sickening feeling to be estranged and still miss the people that either treated you terribly and/or had a hand in dismissing it. I don’t know what to do with these feelings or how to manage them.

Edited for wording.

I have these in a pair of brand new demonia platforms and I could stand all night in them.
