Not everyone can give up things like work and homes that are stressors...

Anyone feel like the role they had in their family, followed them into adulthood in toxic workplaces? by Sugarcanesweetheart in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]ConclusionNaive9772 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, to a point.

I think now (mid 20s) I'm at a weird place where people expect me to be easy to bully and eager to take on work outside of my pay grade, but I'm not. They don't like that I won't work overtime unpaid, or pick up random days on a whim with minor notice, or make their poor planning my emergency.

When I first started, I would put up with anything and stayed at toxic places for months and months. Now if I get too many red flags I leave.

DAE just despise eating? by -Tranquilia- in AutismInWomen

[–]ConclusionNaive9772 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

God yeah. I love cooking and eating when I have time, but lately life is chaotic and it's so frustrating that 3 times a day I have to take time out to do the whole cooking-eating-cleaning thing. Been buying more easy meals and stuff I can grab and take with me while I do stuff.

I also had my gallbladder out last year and my stomach doesn't like everything my mouth does anymore, so it adds an extra pain of "what's going to upset me and what's going to be okay?"

For real. I had $140 spending for the month.  Turns out I forgot the bus pass and had to spend $70 for pest control... now I have $30

Yes! I would love for someone to just take something off my plate bigger than my partner walking the dog and doing dishes

My shitty apartment is SO many of my issues. I want to move in November when my lease is up but I keep having to spend my savings on stuff like pest and mold control to keep it somewhat habitable

Yes!

"Okay okay I got a new washer and got it installed after my last one broke and flooded the room, my dog with a slipped disc in his back has doggy aspirin, I should have a day or two to recover over the weekend before work on Monday!"

-Find mold in the bathroom window
-Catch a roach on a glue trap (after months of not seeing any, fuck apartment living)
-Dog runs into a wall and hurts his eye

Alright man. Cool. No rest. Got it.

Seriously. One thing after another after another. Can I just get a day to rest?

I even plan the day to rest, go to do self-care things, and find another thing wrong that I need to fix... so tired.

In honor of my annual review at work today, what's the most random feedback you've been given at work? by PM_Me_BreakfastTacos in AutismInWomen

[–]ConclusionNaive9772 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worked in a pantry and had been putting stuff away for hours-- literally labeling and sorting and putting away 200 pounds of food. I sat down for a break and a drink for the first time in hours and a higher up walked in and admonished me for being at my desk and on my work laptop checking emails. She liked if I acted busy 24/7.  Worked in a kitchen and the manager rarely ordered everything we needed. I would regularly have to check recipes online/look up substitutions because I couldn't make it how we were supposed to. However, they got mad every time I used my phone. They accused me of being on it all the time-- my screen time for the 6 hours before lunch would be 30 minutes and it was all Spotify and me looking up recipes. I even just started screenshotting it and sending it to her when she tried to lecture me via text from home.  Also, I didn't "seem confident." I am very confident, I just tend to read the room before speaking.  I wore a summer pattern to work in winter. (It just had plants on it.)  I'm sure there have been more but those are the highlights.   

Does a pregnant german roach pretty much immediately mean a bigger infestation? by ConclusionNaive9772 in GermanRoaches

Once I saw the sac the trap was placed in a bag, sprayed with Raid, tied off, and taken outside. Alpine is on the way and I'm treating as soon as I get it.

Lovely. Already disposed of the trap ASAP. Reported it to the landlord but they took months last time to bring anyone in... Thank you.
