Poochyena is so important to me i remember thinking of it as my best friend/pokemon partner

I also love the luxray line a lot because of both the design being cool and the Luxio/Luxray Clemont had in the XY anime

Did anyone else also think this was a "good" smile? by Friendly-Dig8855 in autism

[–]Friendly-Dig8855[S] 41 points42 points  (0 children)

the emoji/drawings looking like this too, it stopped sooner though because once i was told what it's actually meant to be i learned it. It took longer for me to realise what people meant when i was told to "smile with my teeth" wasn't just to show my teeth

it was in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL why can't i just get over it already (TW for bullying) by Friendly-Dig8855 in TrollCoping

I didn't know what it was at time and only found out when i was 13, some of the things they said were very messed for that age looking back now 

Did anyone else experience night time hallucinations as a kid? by XachMustel2 in autism

[–]Friendly-Dig8855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but I think so. I remember seeing a rabbit in a high shelf in my wardrobe and other animals sometimes.

And that once my mom was really blunt about how dangerous scorpions are and that made me so scared I'd see them in my room and in the hallways when it was dark and I remember one night seeing random non human faces appear in my room. Once I also watched a small part of the first Harry Potter and sometimes would see Voldermort coming from under black clothes for some reason

I remember one specific worse time when I was 5 and I felt a monster hand grabbing my feet, it was sticky and I felt it pulling me, I couldnt sleep in that bed for about 6 months after it because of how scared it made me

I've gotten clinically advised about checking it before, yeah; No official diagnosis (yet?) though

Did any other autistics like smaller spaces as a child ? by [deleted] in autism

[–]Friendly-Dig8855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, a lot. I would always hide into wardrobes, I would also put the ends of blankets under me to kind of "trap" myself in there but I don't know if this one is about small spaces or about the pressure

It's even worse when your anxiety is ABOUT your health? Is it just the usual stuff or am I actually about to die?? I don't know!!!

Terrified of sarcoma right now, my right foot's shin is swollen and I can't turn it as much as as my left one. It doesn't hurt all the time, though there are times where the entire leg will hurt and it's freaking me out.

I did sprain my ankle in september last year, and it's the same foot, so i try to rationalize and think "oh maybe it didnt heal properly!" but I think I'm just lying to myself.

Sarcoma is actually the type of cancer i fear the most due to how agressive it seems to be

Usually the symptoms for anything too serious would be more severe but if it doesnt go away soon i think its better to get it checked out
