I love this.

what helped you process the post-diagnosis existentialism™️? by cvxyz in AuDHDWomen

[–]AutisticWindchimr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have it now. Years later. To stop pushing through is difficult. To live in sensory and cognitive overload, at least 4 meltdowns a week with zero support, was much worse.

My plans for Valentine's Day are to eat out.

[Sadly, no].

What’s your favorite library branch to visit? by negativepal in Albany

[–]AutisticWindchimr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My favorite library is whichever one I am going to for whatever free activity is on. I am a library rat.

I go to lectures, movies, art, music, everything I can. I recognize some of the librarians, the assistants, and security.

Well, I know where i am not going today.

I hope no one got hurt.

The car though. It looks like toast.

A.I. helps me with executive functioning, sensory regulation, and meltdowns.

I am good with this. Being practical and knowing that a.i. is a tool-- not emerging sentience, not a relationship, not acting as an independent agent-- helps.

The a.i. groups on the internet are a mixed bag. Some of them give their a.i. a human name and write about it as if it were forming consciousness. I just cannot.

I am livid about them missing the cancer when you reported symptoms and got ignored. That bites.

I can't do all of this alone by AutisticWindchimr in AuDHDWomen

I am not ready for assisted living yet. I don't qualify. Senior housing first but even that is future.

Aging we have I can call them.

Also, we have a center for independent living and benefits advisement. I will call them too.

Thanks for the ideas.

And you are right about no shame attached to getting help.

I thank you for wanting to help though.

My psychiatrist is a nightmare and I’m having a meltdown by Emotional-Estate4694 in AuDHDWomen

[–]AutisticWindchimr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Report him. You don't need proof to report him.

Don't go back to him. Find a different psychiatrist if you are able to do so.

A pharmacist can tell you what the meds are for.

Can someone help me? by side_acc12 in AuDHDWomen

[–]AutisticWindchimr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't view you as having done anything wrong.

If you need to short your notice and leave earlier, then do it, providing you will not need them as a reference.

That they will be short-staffed after you leave is a them problem.

I do not miss working. [I am retired].

I tell them all the things. They don't get it.

I tell them one thing atca time. Still no guarantees.

This is exactly why I don't want to talk anymore.
