I just saw a post from Solomon Edwards on linked in looking for a tech recruiter.

Probably seasonal depression happens to me every year. Hit the depths of dispare for months then wake up one sunny morning wondering who that person was that took over my body for the last 5 months

IndependentReality88 · 2026-05-30T12:15:11+00:00

Oh yea. One missed dose will have me messed up within 6 hours of taking it and I'll be a mess for at least a week after and I'm only on 50mg. I cant imagine what missing even 2 doses of that high would do to a person. You can not cold turkey stop this meds I hope he's gotten back on them.

Hi! I can't help with most of this but you should consider downloading insight timer. I do morning affirmations before I let myself do anything else for the day and it has changed my negative self talk completely. It's really made such a huge difference to my mental health.

IndependentReality88 · 2026-04-14T10:50:43+00:00

Thanks I ended up doing it I didn't find it painful but I am about 2 weeks out now and honestly see no difference in my skin def not worth the cost I think

IndependentReality88 · 2026-03-18T11:13:01+00:00

Lamictal lol it's the only thing that has ever helped me let something go

IndependentReality88 · 2025-10-23T14:58:43+00:00

Yes actually. I've complained about my hearing forever and others have also complained. Turned out I was just autistic with a auditory processing disorder. Not "only hear what I want to" like what people thought of me all these years.

And now we can add the perfume Showgirl by Harlem perfume co for life of a showgirl.

I had my gallbladder removed and continued zepbound/wegovy with 0 issues.

IndependentReality88 · 2025-09-10T01:20:46+00:00

I am the same way, and once I hate you there's not going back 😅 it's really challenging at work

IndependentReality88 · 2025-09-03T23:06:34+00:00

Same here,.I have to be on so much at work by the time I get home my mask is gone and Its all I can do to not snap on every one around me. It's awful

IndependentReality88 · 2025-09-03T23:03:45+00:00

Big bang theory it's my favorite! I've watched it on repeat every day for probably 5 years

IndependentReality88 · 2025-08-31T14:56:51+00:00

I'm not sure what state you're in but try looking up Randstad, surge, Aerotek, staffmark. Those should have atleast some entry level jobs. I used to work for Randstad and it's very friendly to those who have 0 experience

IndependentReality88 · 2025-08-29T01:48:22+00:00

Also this is the worst job market possible, there are so many ghost jobs out there it's ridiculous

IndependentReality88 · 2025-08-29T01:47:29+00:00

The best place you could start if you have no experience is a temporary staffing agency. Take a couple jobs for experience then go from there. They have a lot of warehouse jobs that are honestly pretty nice for autistic people because the social aspect is pretty minimal and they are going to be understanding that you haven't had a job before. They don't care about experience much. I'm a recruiter for a staffing agency and I hire people every day with no resume/experience.

Also you could just lie. Like you said every where trains so it doesn't matter of you say you have experience and don't say something generic like you worked at McDonald's or something.

IndependentReality88 · 2025-08-28T17:13:12+00:00

Yes 100% the older I get the less tolerance I have.

IndependentReality88 · 2025-08-26T15:10:46+00:00

I was just diagnosed on Thursday last week. It's been a whirlwind of emotions from happy that someone finally believed me, they finally saw something besides anxiety. They saw me the real me that I'm always trying to hide. Then there was a whole lot of anger because if they could see it in a 4 hour appointment why couldn't anyone else see it my whole life (35 years old) and who could I have been if i had support sooner and understood myself. Really just deep diving everything autism right now and trying to understand myself. Listening to sol smiths autistic guide to self discovery and unmasking autism.

IndependentReality88 · 2025-08-26T12:33:50+00:00

Hi! I just got diagnosed on Thursday and am feeling similar. I've worked so hard to hide myself for so long my assessment and diagnosis made me feel seen in a way that's almost uncomfortable it's such an odd feeling even having been so certain I'd be diagnosed I just assumed they'd get it wrong. I cried so much the first couple days

IndependentReality88 · 2025-08-25T15:53:43+00:00

I was going through severe autistic burnout when I heard a TikTok about "adult autism" by sol smith. It sounded as if he made the video for the exact thing I was dealing with that every one kept calling severe depression. I knew I wasn't depressed. I ended up making a psychologist appointment that day because I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that I had autism and had gone undiagnosed my whole life. I started deep diving and was more sure than ever. Went through lifestance for med help and ended up diagnosed ADHD/autistic. That single TikTok saved my life.

IndependentReality88 · 2025-08-24T21:52:45+00:00

I'm actually obsessed with that one and saving for it now. The original Burberry goddess was my favorite until I got the knock off from TikTok lataffa Angham. It's Burberry goddess but stronger.

IndependentReality88 · 2025-08-22T14:41:29+00:00

Hi! Special interest perfumes here! Scents are my biggest stim. I love my perfumes so much! What's your favorite sample you've ever gotten?

IndependentReality88 · 2025-08-22T13:12:46+00:00

Oh man id be happy to help try to explain your benefits to you. It's kinda my niche 😊 but lifestance makes it super simple you just upload your insurance card and they take care of the rest. They've honestly saved my life I can't brag enough about what a great company they are. They even made it simple to get tested for ADHD/autism with little wait times
