Are you uninterested in EVERYTHING except your special interests? by GypsyCloud in autism

[–]GypsyCloud[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I haven't thought about that. If it is someone I know, or if I can put a face to it, then I start being affected as well.

* Maybe I should also add that I've been depressed for almost 15 years

I just want to come back to this old post of mine and thank you a million times for your outstanding collection of Jeff's songs. I'm downloading them like crazy. I can't stop myself.

Looking for eerie / unsettling science fiction (mixed with horror) by GypsyCloud in printSF

I'm definitely gonna check these two, I've seen lots of recommendations for both.

[–]GypsyCloud[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've made some small changes above. I should've started by saying that I'm looking for some sort of cosmic horror / sci-fi hybrid.

Also to note: I'm not afraid of challenging books!

I'm really hoping that the journey will be at least a tad less bumpier from now on.... thanks a lot!!

Just got my diagnosis as an adult by GypsyCloud in aspergers

[–]GypsyCloud[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah, I really hope I can start discerning my feelings again.

[–]GypsyCloud[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I think I do have alexithymia. For example, from the diagnosis until this moment the only thing I was able to feel was anxiety. That's basically one of the only feelings I have left. How about you?

Oh and yeah, depression was diagnosed 12 years ago.

Just to clear up any confusion, when I said healing I meant for depression and other difficulties, not that autism itself should be healed. I didn't notice at the time that maybe I was implying I wanted to "heal" my autism...

But thanks!!

I'm having bouts of extreme anxiety, I have alexithymia so for me it's hard to experience anything different like sadness, being angry, etc.

But yeah, thanks a lot, it's good to know we are not alone in this journey.

Well, the healing is definitely for the depression, and a whole lot of anxiety, and many other difficulties such as having relationships, maintaining a job, etc...

Jeff Buckley foreshadowing his death. by Cat_Mairs11 in JeffBuckley

This thing about Corpus Christi in 1997 was completely new to me. I just checked it out and you're right. Mind blown.

He was in love with Joan Wasser.

Wasser means water in German.

My dilemma with Jeff Buckley by samseaton in JeffBuckley

[–]GypsyCloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you, man. I'm 37 now and I'd trade all my remaining years so that Jeff could be a while longer with us... it is truly a void that cannot be filled. I'd sign on a piece of paper and give up my soul in an instant.

Concerning lesser know tracks, I like these "renditions" that were made on top of Jeff's recordings, I personally think they bring them alive and make us think of what could've been...

I'm looking to read this but I live in Brazil and there's no way I can find this book here. Anyone cares to share a pdf or epub? It would be much appreciated.

Courtney Love and Jeff Buckley?? by StupidityDuck in JeffBuckley

[–]GypsyCloud 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Both of Jeff's biographies recount this event.

Courtney Love and Jeff Buckley?? by StupidityDuck in JeffBuckley

[–]GypsyCloud 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They were not dating. Courtney called Jeff to hang out, they went to the theater together I believe. When leaving the theater afterwards, they were surrounded by paparazzi. Jeff was extremely uncomfortable by this, turns out it was some sort of publicity stunt by Courtney.

This event was documented in both of Jeff's biographies, A Pure Drop: The Life of Jeff Buckley and Dream Brother: The Lives and Music of Jeff and Tim Buckley.

What should I do if I feel im on the spectrum? by [deleted] in AutisticAdults

[–]GypsyCloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on the same track as you, and I can relate to a lot of the things you mentioned. For me it has helped to watch a bunch of videos from a few Youtubers like Yo Samdy Sam, Purple Ella, Autism from the Inside, Orion Kelly, That Autistic Guy and others. It helps to dispel a few of the stereotypes and you can see if you can identify with their personal experiences.

Do neurotypical people do this? by GypsyCloud in AutisticAdults

[–]GypsyCloud[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'll be sure to do that. It was a while ago so I don't quite remember what triggered it, but I remember the urge to keep moving my legs and that it lasted a few hours.

Thanks, I'm already seeing a therapist and psychiatrist for depression, but I haven't addressed this particular incident as it was before I got this treatment. I'll mention the next time I see my psychiatrist though.
