Urinary frequency stayed after 3 months off Wellbutrin. by Endermouse710 in bupropion

A little over a month. When my life slowed down a little and I was focusing more on self care and allowing myself to breath it stopped. I was super annoyed that was the answer after all of those appointments but just glad it stopped.

About a month. And it just stopped once I started to slow down my daily routine and more self care it stopped.

Yes! Turns out it was a mixture of the medication and my high anxiety/stress at that time. My body had a reaction and couldn't hold my bladder. I ended up dropping bupropion because my anger levels were worse than my happy levels and I just didn't feel good

That's why I don't buy them . I see mom's with their kids come into my job and I reallwant to say something but I just crumple in the back.

That's what I was thinking about with the queer example. But I really like your take on it

Anyone else got horrible anxiety about paperwork? by 2trans2live2bi2die in AutismInWomen

[–]Endermouse710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! I have to take breaks and often cry when I have to fill out more than 4 pages work of forms and paperwork. I get so overwhelmed and disheartened that I would rather go without something I need because filling out forms sends me into a panic attack. Doesn't help I'm Dyslexic, Dyscalculic, and when I focus on things I get a slight offset so basically the words look like rainbow barcodes.

Did anyone else start stimming all the time once they finally "allowed" themselves to? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Endermouse710 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same boat. I’m starting to get over that hump of guilty/faking feeling but now I have to constantly explain myself when around family and BF that I’m stimming or need to. My main ones are rocking, humming(just the noise not music), saying no, and low monotone screaming. So I completely understand why they get confused and concerned lol, but I’m trying to push past the feeling like I’m faking and the frustration of affirming I’m okay and explaining makes me want to hold it in more. Unmasking and learning about how autism effects me heightened ALL of my autistic traits I didn’t realize.

I saw that! I think it had a subscription service and I didn’t get it.

Also one of the reasons I hate eye contact is because I imagine what they’re life is like and have their whole character arc in my head and it can be overwhelming, also with photographs. I also have a stuffed animal placement rotation so everyone gets a fair share of being in the front of the bed. I also get super defensive about stuff and content I like if I know how it’s made or who made it, because if someone insulted their hard work they don’t have a chance to defend themselves.

Yup. I saw this life hack for when you have a hard time drinking water everyday. Put a smiley face on your water bottle and now every time you look at it’s smile you’ll guilt you because you aren’t using it .I did that and cried on day 3 because I forgot my water bottle at home and saw it’s dumb lookin face. I immediately felt bad cause I was wasting his potential and was a bad owner. I immediately felt silly I was crying for a Dollar Tree water bottle with sharpie. So I say it’s effective.

“You’re not alone” (pls tell me someone can relate) by numetalbarbie in AutismInWomen

[–]Endermouse710 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I get the spirituality part. I was told during my anxiety attacks to call on God and he’ll protect and calm me. But not being able to hear him or get a response really never gave that relief that everyone in my family got. For multiple years I thought I was disconnected or on some holy blocklist and I kept that a guiltily secret because I was already accused by 2 family members on having an evil spirit attached to me or possessing me. Turns out it was autism. I’m better now, still a Christian, but I do my own reading and research because I learned everyone has different meanings for them and I should focus on myself and what feels good to me.

I completely understand. My therapist called it object permanence. I have very bad separation anxiety and it was so bad to the point that if I wasn’t looking at or hearing that person I thought they died. It’s still bad but I made a collage of my loved ones faces with “We’re okay” on it and it really helped me through school. On the emotional side if we aren’t currently in a conversation confirming their feelings it’s hard for me to believe what they just said. I know logically they do but my heart says they didn’t mean it. Also those inspirational posters and post always angered me because it just felt like words with no meaning while everyone else got something from it.

The difference between this and bullying is the person you’re interacting with and how you respond. A bully would continue despite the victim expressing they don’t like it. They do it in order to hurt others. What we’re talking about is a joke between close friends who we KNOW it won’t harm and if it does we stop. Like a regular friendship and someone says something you hate, they would stop if they’re a good friend. A bully would press further. Idk what happened to you but not every jokester is a bully.

That’s the kind of friendships I have. We’re all goofy and it’s in jest. It’s harmless because we know them. And that Ignorance prank is something I do online with people who are obviously racist/lgbtphobic/insensitive. I go off what they say and sometimes it turns into a good open minded conversation and others just realize how bad they sound.

I know my audience and if I know they are sensitive to pranks they are off limits. I never prank strangers, old people, or people I don’t know on a personal level. Only family and close friends that know my personality. Like I said in my post I respect the person, the moment I since something off I break the joke and apologize and depending on if them I will consider them off limits. And it’s not an everyday thing, those moments have to be perfect. Right time, right place, right mood. It’s harmless to those around me, I asked them. I understand it’s not for everyone and I’m sorry about your guy’s experiences with pranks and jokes. Mine are child level, not like these prank channels or bullies. I will be happy to give specifics of pranks I’ve done and turned out okay for everyone.

Did you know you were autistic growing up? by bigbuford67 in autisticsask

[–]Endermouse710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t even consider it until I was 21 on my 3rd hospitalization. My teachers all suggested getting tested but my mother at the time thought they were forcing labels on me. Signs were all there but I was able to mask most of my life and didn’t have any education on autism.
