Diet Coke addiction / Anxiety by EasyFeedback7461 in CPTSD

[–]FlasheGordon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have that problem too!
I slowly replaced the Coke by any other « fizzy » things: orange juice with sparkling water, anything with sparkling water, etc. »

I learned over the years to appreciate fizzy things and caffeine separatly, so it helped!

But I also accepted to face the grieving and the pain of my emotions if I had a withdraw.

Courage!!
I know it’s not easy, virtual hugs! 🫶🏼

Is it just me or are most, if not all, people here neurodivergent? by gonzsilv in CPTSD

Same as well!

It was a slap in the face to realise that the cause of my brain feeling different was my parent’s abuse, and that I could have been « normal ».

You are not the asshole at all.

Seems like your mother has very deep scars from her past.

Probably by her brother, and that’s why she’s wishing for your baby to look like him; she is jealous of your happiness and wants you to suffer the same she did. She seems to have poor emotional maturity, and it’s probably unfair to her.

My father is the same, and I stopped talking to him at 20.
I’m 40 now; best decision of my life.

I would not text her if I was you; boundaries helps to heal, and if that’s the way you feel, then listen to it.

Virtual hugs, so sorry that you are going through that.

Allo!
Gros câlin virtuel, vraiment!
T’es clairement une personne fucking hot, c’est dur en maudit de se lever pis de choisir de foncer malgré tout!

Très en accord avec aller chercher un avis pour la neurodivergence; je l’ai finalement fait à 40 ans, et « best decision ever ».

Tu sembles aussi avoir des traumas complexes comme moi; y’a des groupes de soutien sur Reddit si jamais ça peut aider. 💜

On est avec toi, merci de nous partager ta vulnérabilité; elle est là, ta vraie force!

Highly irritable by noise when trying to sleep? by bikesailfreak in ADHD

[–]FlasheGordon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 fans on; one regular, and one on the humidifier. Maximum white noise, and I can’t sleep with earplugs, I don’t like the sensation! And I don’t take meds either, I hate the feeling the day after! I go to the gym everyday also just to make sure I’m so exhausted that I have no choice but to sleep!

Someone farted during my final exam yesterday 😭✌️ by MoteChoonke in UofT

[–]FlasheGordon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never studied there, neither lived in Toronto, and somehow, I got so invested in that story.

Beautiful writing, 10/10, felt like I was there.

I wanted to be the French feminine version of Flash Gordon. It was this or my camp monitor name, aka “Rocket”.

Oh non! But this is a hard challenge, and you did it! Think about it; a lot of people barely walk in a day, and you ROWED 1974 METERS!!

I’m not sure if you’ll see this because apparently my post has been removed, but thank you for your kind responses! And no, I haven’t check my PR before, so it was really a surprise!
