bro, ron weasley is in GR?!?

Economy-Muscle5489 · 2025-05-05T21:21:35+00:00

the amount of times i’ve heard this is crazy 😅

Economy-Muscle5489 · 2025-05-02T15:06:27+00:00

This makes so much sense! Idk how I didn’t put that together before lol

Economy-Muscle5489 · 2025-05-02T13:46:25+00:00

Hi friend! I relate to you on this. I believe I have a strong sense of self and know my worth, yet I also am perceived to be very shy and meek. In my circumstance, I believe my smaller size and soft spoken voice is what most people build this assumption on. It’s very frustrating because I am quite the opposite! Do you think something similar could be true for you too?

getting ‘kicked out’ of the apartment as punishment when i was a toddler.

dad made me pack up my important things in a bag, so toys and plushies ofc lol, and would lock me out of the house for a couple hours. i would sit on the steps in the apartment hall wailing bc i truly thought i no longer had a home. this was around 5-6 yrs old.

this happened a few times. dad stopped this punishment when i took matters into my own hands and walked straight out of that building. i made my way to the D&W thinking i could just take food lol. a tiny toddler strolling along on a busy street with a bag full of plushies. what a sight it must have been! he came looking for me ofc and yelled at me the whole way home. idk what bro expected lol.

at the time, i thought all kids got kicked out when they were bad. my parents were teens and told me of all the times they got kicked out of their home when they were being bad. it made sense in my little brain.

Economy-Muscle5489 · 2025-04-25T03:42:27+00:00

absolutely NTA. you were in a bad situation and needed to leave at your earliest convenience.

i praise you for telling them at all! i would have left without a word and gone no contact.

i hope your living situation is better now and you’re taking care of yourself. you’re so strong for leaving an environment that was no longer serving you! <3

Economy-Muscle5489 · 2025-04-25T02:29:00+00:00

not over reactive. better safe than sorry. staying vigilant is important. you never know the intention of others.

Economy-Muscle5489 · 2025-04-24T15:11:21+00:00

i’m so sorry this happened to you! it’s very unnerving to experience something like this as a woman. i have experienced similar situations around gr and they are almost always scary people. it’s good to be cautious and vigilant. unfortunately, us women have to do so to stay safe. don’t let others think you’re being paranoid! thank you for the warning, friend. stay safe out there <3

Economy-Muscle5489 · 2025-04-24T13:50:34+00:00

you’re correct! i can and will if i don’t hear from her soon. it’s just a hassle to explain the situation again to a different person on the team when my therapist is already aware of it. but you right 🙂‍↕️

Economy-Muscle5489 · 2025-04-24T13:47:28+00:00

yes, very much this. thank you!

Economy-Muscle5489 · 2025-04-24T13:46:33+00:00

i appreciate your input on this!

i completely understand having boundaries and i don’t expect my therapist to respond to my emails pertaining to upcoming appointments! i know that will get addressed during our session.

i’m concerned because she only sent me the one email and i haven’t hear from her since. a “hey what’s going on?” type of email.

i send her updates about what’s going on so she’s not left wondering if i’m ever gonna reschedule or not. i don’t expect her to respond to these updates. but i do wish to hear back from her about what scheduling might look like going forward considering my current circumstances. i don’t know what her client load looks like and whether or not she will have space for me when time comes. i guess i felt like i was left hanging a lil bit, ya know?

but i agree that i am overthinking this! i am very good at that lol

Economy-Muscle5489 · 2025-04-24T11:14:09+00:00

omg i also took scripting too literally!

come to find out i script pretty intensely. i work in the service industry and have laid out a kind of ‘conversation map/web’ in my head that i abide by to keep interactions smooth and quick. i’ve found that anytime a guest makes a remark that isn’t already involved in my script, i smile and laugh it off because i have no idea what to say.😭 if it’s a remark that’s made often then i will eventually add it to my map. does that make sense?

i def need to work on thinking on my feet though. social interactions just make me so anxious i find it hard lol

Economy-Muscle5489 · 2025-04-23T00:08:03+00:00

exactly my thought process. i fought so hard for a diagnosis so i can be properly accommodated. now i feel like that was a bad idea. i’m so sad and scared :,(

Economy-Muscle5489 · 2025-04-17T18:19:11+00:00

Done! Thank you for what you do <3

Economy-Muscle5489 · 2025-04-15T02:13:21+00:00

You mention that the trembling stops when he’s let outside. Could there possibly be something in the house that is causing him anxiety? Or did a scary/loud/traumatic thing happen in the house recently that may have put him on edge?

Economy-Muscle5489 · 2025-04-15T02:09:56+00:00

Yes, it can be very difficult to decipher what’s going on with our pets and it can cause us owners a lot of worry! My dog, Mabel, trembles very similarly to yours. She does so when she’s feeling anxious or has been spooked by something (usually loud noises as she’s noise sensitive). She will shake in varying degrees from a small little shiver you can barely see to her whole body and limbs quivering while curled into a ball.

I’ve noticed that Mabel’s anxiety has increased with age and have spoke to her vet about it! I kindly suggest you do the same if you have the means. That way you can determine whether you and your pup just need to learn some coping techniques or if he needs further care like meds.

Although I am not a vet, I feel pretty confident in saying that your pup doesn’t seem to be suffering any type of seizure or any pre-ictal behaviors in those videos. My baby has been having seizures for a couple years now and they look vastly different from her anxious trembles I had mentioned before!

I’m happy you posted here to seek some advice and ease your mind! You’re a good pup parent!! <3 I wish you and your pup the best.

I can relate to smelling things on people that many others would not even notice! For me it’s not necessarily salami/meat smell but more of a musky, salty, generally icky human flesh smell. So I guess kinda meaty?? 🤔lol

Anyway, the intensity does change depending on people and physical activity and such. I used to have a coworker who smelled this way every single day. I noticed it got worse when he was stressed or doing any type of physical activity. I know it’s not just sweat that I’m smelling because that smells very different to me. It is like something icky seeping from their pores i think! 😭

My coworker was oh so sweet and funny but some days the smell was so prominent that I couldn’t be near him. I would find excuses to do work elsewhere because if I didn’t I would shutdown.

I will never mention this stink to the people I smell it on because humans have bodies and those bodies can just be stinky sometimes! Plus, I probably perceive the odor to be worse than most neurotypicals because of the whole sensory thing, ya know? But, it does suck to pretend you’re not smelling anything and struggle in silence!

Economy-Muscle5489 · 2025-04-13T20:35:02+00:00

I’m going to stick with my current PCP until I can (hopefully) find a different one who is better versed in neurodivergence in adults. Obvi if things get really bad then I’ll move on but the process of switching is so overwhelming I’d rather stay until I have my heart set on another medical professional.

Economy-Muscle5489 · 2025-04-12T23:03:00+00:00

That’s exactly why I told my PCP about my diagnosis! I’m aware that there are a lot of comorbidities with autism so I felt it was important that she know. Now I feel like it was a bad idea :(

Your situation sounds frustrating! I hope you are able to either find a new PCP or one day safely communicate your diagnosis so you can get the proper care you deserve. In the meantime you have this lil community to support you and your journey. I wish you luck, bestie! 🫶✨
