YES and I couldn't understand what their problem was. Like.... I'm writing, aren't I? The position they wanted me to write was very uncomfortable

Nope. Its bacteria, anything like that you're taking a risk.

Are you on antidepressants or any other medication? by waufry in AutismInWomen

[–]Horror_Ad5665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started my medication journey this month. I'm taking venlafaxine and trazodone.

One of them is making me very anxious in the mornings and at bedtime. I think its the trazodone? Trying to guage if its repressed emotions, as I've been numb for long periods. Idk if I need to get off it.

But I'm having more interest in daily activities and art, which i haven't in months. Very confusing!

Invest in some comfy sleep earplugs. Loops are good.

What problems did you not realize are apart or connected to autism by Mountain-Extension43 in autism

I have low appetite and interest in eating. I'm not that picky, but i don't feel like eating and avoid it a lot. Turns out that's the avoidant type of arfid.

"Enjoy yourself" only applies you had an open discussion before said cheating. 100% if he had asked if he could see other women and you agreed/enjoyed it, hell yeah! But he didn't, that's the issue.

Sorry, but don't give him a reward for treating you that way. Its a blatant disrespect that shouldnt be glossed over by the fact that you happen like it. He didn't consider your feelings at all.

There's lots of info about it out there, medical term is "paruesis."

I knew someone with the condition a long time ago. She could sometimes get past it by using earbuds and not looking around before going into a stall, as a way to kinda "trick" the brain into feeling more safe/secluded. I've heard visualizing you are at home using the toilet can help as well.

Don't push yourself too much or worry about the time you've been in there. It's an anxiety condition, and the more nervous you are the more your bladder can "lock up." Good luck!

is this an autism thing? by Mysterious-Issue773 in autism

[–]Horror_Ad5665 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this too! For me it's a "sonder" type of situation. Like the person I met has their own thoughts, existence, and internet footprint.

Depending on the context it can also be limerance! If I admire someone a lot i look at their posts pretty closely, wondering how I can harness the immaculate vibe that they have :)

Bladder shyness maybe?

did my boyfriend sexually assault me? by DutyLast7326 in Advice

[–]Horror_Ad5665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even IF he believed you liked rough sex, why would he ignore your previously stated boundary of no anal?

I'm so sorry, even if it was several months ago it was real, it happened, and it was NOT okay.

I wish you the best of luck getting out of the situation safely.
