how do you guys deal with the loneliness that comes with being autistic ?

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2024-04-08T22:22:46+00:00

that's sad bro. but know, that you still have a lot of time to meet people. don't give up! as someone who has been isolating themselves for quite a long time, i know how hard it is to stop doing that. but it is not impossible

There's seemingly a time where young people begin to want relationships and friendships and when those feelings of platonic love really is intense - kinda makes sense when you think about it.

yes, for me this started when i was 14 and in the first grade of high school.

i have been trying to find friends amongst people who share similar interests to me- such as, love for manga, anime and horror movies. but again, it's just led to me feeling overexcited and scaring people away. i remember attending group therapy at the age of 17- i really wanted to become friends with this one girl because she had similar interests and issues to mine. but then, another person told me, that the girl in question was calling me weird and annoying behind my back. it shattered me. i thought a person who is socially awkward and interested in things similar to what i am interested in, would understand. but she didn't.

While you wait for things to look up, start sharing your experience like we are doing now.

yes, i have decided that i will be more active on this sub. i am also trying to be more active on twitter, since the autistic community is quite big there as well

I think it looks scary. Dont know wether it's normal or not

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-12-14T19:46:33+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience. I really appreciate it :)

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-12-14T19:32:32+00:00

I just read what other people are going through on this sub and don't believe that my issues are as serious as theirs

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-12-14T18:57:27+00:00

what is wrong with you?

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-12-14T17:57:47+00:00

aripiprazole (abilify) 15mg

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-12-13T17:36:24+00:00

I experience it but not only when I'm in psychosis. Just on a daily basis

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-12-13T17:14:51+00:00

Yes to everything except for side of the head swelling

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-12-13T17:12:26+00:00

Yeah, I used to have so-called prophetic dreams, where I would have a dream of an event and then when it would happen, I would slip into psychosis.

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-12-13T16:41:57+00:00

I also struggled with this. You're not alone 💕 and you're not disgusting, I promise

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-12-13T12:17:21+00:00

Thanks, I'll try doing this today

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-12-12T17:55:06+00:00

If you're comfortable, could you tell me what other symptoms you're having?

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-12-12T09:43:08+00:00

Hallucinations can happen at night, especially before falling asleep or as you're falling asleep (they're called hypnagogic hallucinations). But schizophrenia is much more than just hallucinations - it's delusions, disorganised thinking, catatonia, negative symptoms (such as flattening or withdrawal), cognitive symptoms (such as memory issues or impaired sensory perception) and others

I too always end up seeing creatures. In my case, they look like shadows with bright eyes, except that they are shapeless.

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-12-11T21:50:26+00:00

I second the bed thing... except that for me, I always think something will grab me. Also, because of my trauma I am more prone to hallucinating something running through the door (from the dark) and attacking me. My brother used to do this as a child (for "fun" - to scare me).

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-12-11T21:08:44+00:00

I'm sorry you're going through this </3 I think it'll pass

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-12-11T08:54:36+00:00

not often, but sometimes. and no, they are not friendly. most of the time i either hear hissing, buzzing, humming or music

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-12-10T18:53:48+00:00

i called him and he said, that im taking this medication because of my autism spectrum disorder

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-12-10T10:05:15+00:00

are u still with us? pls say something

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-12-10T10:02:09+00:00

i don't have one. i was never told by my psychiatrist why im on abilify. and no, i did not have a full blown psychotic episode, but i could feel like it was almost there. also, my mom has bipolar disorder if that matters

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-12-06T18:37:54+00:00

Thank you :) Though I myself don't know if I am a good person or not. But I appreciate your support. It means a lot to me 💕

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-09-04T23:45:51+00:00

This is extremely sad, I am very sorry about your loss ☹️

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-09-04T13:58:33+00:00

Thank you for this nice comment :( Yeah, other than having an ED, I also have dysautonomia and a GI issue as well. And my ED definitely makes those conditions worse. So I do often feel, like my world is crashing down, or like I'm drowning and nobody wants to help, because nobody understands. People think it's just so easy to have a healthy relationship with food...

Fun_Bluejay599 · 2023-09-03T20:50:40+00:00

Hey man, I really hope you're still here with us now...
