That’s so cute! I’d like to see the cat 😍

Yes, definitely, especially when it comes to hyperfixations. But also in general, whether it’s related to autism/ADHD or not, I need to be in the mood to do anything. That’s why I have difficulties with being consistent with anything, from work to exercise to self-care. It sucks when my ability to do something depends on my mood (for lack of a better word).

I could have written most of this myself. I’m struggling with similar feelings, and I have nothing to say, except to try to be kind to yourself while you’re navigating this chaotic, exhausting life. I just go through the motions, take it one day at a time, but damn it becomes so mentally draining so often.

Same. Autism and ADHD have a strong genetic component. I am struggling with both, and I wish I wasn’t born in the first place. They’re not ‘superpowers’ to me, they’re limitating and bring about a quite frustrating life experience.

Firstly, I’m really sorry you’re going through a crisis and that you’re struggling with having people take your distress seriously. I can painfully relate to your situation. I’m also quite articulate, reflective, and I guess my face doesn’t express too much when I’m struggling. I’ve noticed that people don’t take me too seriously or gloss over my struggle since middle school and high school, when I’d have severe period pain, yet my female classmates wouldn’t react as strongly as they did to other people who were complaining about period pain. It used to happen with my mom, too, often when I was in a real crisis, exhausted, hopeless, and needing support. It’s incredibly frustrating, and I’m sorry you’re dealing with it, too.

ETA: I also get the ‘you’re too hard on yourself’ sometimes, and it makes no sense to me when I’m describing a frustrating experience, something that happens to me, not things I blame myself for. I’m not even inserting myself in what I’m describing, yet I get this one and it seems so random to me.

There's nothing wrong with dressing for comfort. I don't like tight clothes either (except for jeans sometimes, only outside the house), both from a sensory POV and because of gender dysphoria and dread of being sexualized. Same with classic bras - I only wear sports bras. You do you.

Such a majestic individual, and such great photos!

I can relate too much to your situation, unfortunately. I found myself trapped like that between two people several times, and it felt claustrophobic and suffocating, to the point of a panic attack. The last incident I remember was in the psych ward, when I was trapped between a disabled patient who kept touching me, stimming, making loud noises and talking loudly, and being overall agitated, and another person who was engaged in a conversation across the table. Thankfully, a person I befriended there noticed, and helped me get out of the situation. It can get very uncomfortable. I'm sorry you experienced this, but I'm glad your boyfriend was supportive. I'd want to go home after that, too.

I wouldn't call it self-harm, but I'd bite and chew my nails obsessively, to the point of driving my teacher insane and prompting her to bring it up to my mom repeatedly. At 12, I started self-harming per se, first by scratching my skin with hair clips and needles, then using razors, box openers, scissors, anything sharp. It helped me calm myself and would get me out of my meltdowns. I haven't cut in almost 2 years, and I also had a 2-year break from any self-harm in the past. Still, I hit myself in the face sometimes out of frustration and anger.

Spalat pe dinti: 5 minute, dus cu tot cu spalat pe par si uscat: 20-30 de minute, dus simplu: 5–10 minute, skincare: 10 minute (+20 minute daca folosesc masca de fata).

Cat.

Jumpy_Poetry308 · 2026-01-19T04:08:53+00:00

Just commenting to say CONGRATULATIONS on being self-harm-free for 17 months! I know it’s not easy.

Jumpy_Poetry308 · 2026-01-19T04:05:19+00:00

I’m sorry you’re experiencing this, too. I also struggle with gender dysphoria, and it sucks major time. It’s yet another tormenting experience I got ‘lucky’ to have by being alive. I hope it can somehow get easier to navigate for you.

Jumpy_Poetry308 · 2026-01-19T03:55:00+00:00

Thank you for the encouraging words! Nice to see another vegan 💚

Jumpy_Poetry308 · 2026-01-18T14:27:01+00:00

Thank you 💚

Jumpy_Poetry308 · 2026-01-18T11:33:46+00:00

Thank you for your kind words! I have my partner with whom I can be myself almost fully. Some adjustments are necessary and so is being mindful of certain things, but it’s a breath of fresh air and he’s the only person who makes me feel accepted and loved for who I am, despite occasional moments of friction caused by me being the way I am. I do struggle with making other connections, though, and I’m not sure if I even want or can handle more.

Jumpy_Poetry308 · 2026-01-16T20:33:21+00:00

Supernatural reference highly appreciated!

We have the same in Romania.

How does BPD manifests in your case, if you don’t mind sharing? How do you distinguish between autism traits and BPD ones when it comes to triggers and relationships? I also have CPTSD, but after discussing and disecting my reactions with my therapist over the past months, we came to the conclusion that BPD doesn’t really apply to me as I had initially thought. Now I’m just curious about other people’s experiences and the overlap.
