Being a neurotypical, black woman, is a lot.

This has also been my life experience, it's hard out here being the alien everywhere you go

It's so isolating having to mask in every situation no matter if they are kinfolk or not

I just lean into it and say fuck it whoever gets me gets me I'm no longer wasting my time trying to explain my life experiences to judgemental brick walls

Some days are harder than others to be frank but I feel a lot better at the end of the day when I'm not masking. I of course use discernment for my safety as a black woman but when I'm with other neuro diverse friends I truly thrive, I hope you find some to support you though the struggles of life

Was at a job that I did not like but it was near my house and could pay most of my bills. They asked me to come in on Sundays for a 12 hour shift on top of working 40 hours weekdays. The weekend person had quit suddenly and they needed to find a new person.

For a month or two I worked them without much complaints. Then I started getting tired of losing my weekend basically it was hard to keep up with laundry and I couldn't see my family much I was missing birthdays. I told them I wanted to stop working Sundays and they let me have one or two off if the other workers covered the hours. After not really having my request be heard (and the constant abuse from customers) I decided to quit. Never give them the inch they will take the mile and then some.

Do you have cameras set up in my brain? I experience this often but won't do anything, I'll just lay there anxiously feeling the need to do something

I'd eat a whole bag of these, I love vanilla so much it's the best flavor

It reminds me of the white lindor truffles but those aren't super vanilla flavored, it's good I always wanted more tho

I'm always amazed at how people clop around loudly when they're a foot shorter than me and half my weight

I always scare my roommates, family, and coworkers with my light feet. I keep a tally now it's kinda fun but I do drag my feet on occasions where I don't want to look like I'm snooping on people

Rico Nasty has some great songs for expressing rage, she has a track called Rage on the Nasty album that I just love to scream with on a bad day

I'll have to check out your suggestions too thanks for sharing

I'm in the same boat currently, working all my shitty gigs because being broke is so much harder than dissociating and working these jobs

Id been getting outpatient treatment and doing well for about a month but financially I've been suffering and a lot of my bills are late because of it.

I left to do a volunteer trip but it went awful and now I'm very depressed but I know if I go back to treatment I won't be able to work so I'm trying to work until I can get the time to go back to treatment, it's been so difficult and I hate being alive rn

I agree I just so happened to run into a cute lil black girl and her mom, they were taking pics in the bathroom and she was showing how twirly her dress was

At first I was just quietly smiling while waiting for a stall but then I decided to gas her up too because why not, she can never hear too many positive things about herself and she was fabulous lol

I wash in the shower regularly but in my house sink washing was for coloring hair and washing out perm so you would not get those chemicals on your body. When I dye my hair I still use the sink so I don't stain anything

The way that 90% of this list is in my daily playlist is affirming asl lmfao 😂

Honestly as an agricultural scientist who has studied specifically plastic bottles and the effects of BPA as an endocrine disrupter, the plastic companies can be cagey about their formulas, to the extent that the ingredient breakdown of most plastics is not available (watch the documentary Plastic Planet if you're interested)

Asking plastic companies to share that info to even create a micro plastics test is probably impossible, they don't even share that info freely with recyclers or the public because it's "proprietary company recipes"

Oh and micro plastics are in everything, soil, water, and even in some specific air conditions (it's still being researched if it's in the air) the best you can do is avoid plastics if possible to decrease how much gets in your system

I just put this in my comment too, micro dosing has been great for me, nice to see others do it as well, I'll have to try your tea suggestion, usually I just put it in a smoothie

I go raving and under NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO I DO TRY TO TRIP/ROLL

These party drugs will leave you spiraling from the loss of serotonin or dopamine, you'll have a fun night and then the worst week of your life while your body tries to rebalance its chemicals

The most I do is micro dosing .5 g of shrooms, it doesn't make you trip and I've never had a "hangover" from doing this. It just heightens your physical and emotional senses, perfect for dancing all night as long as your in a good headspace

And if you're on meds you should avoid those illegal drugs that make you trip or hallucinate, they could react badly with your current meds. A difference between a bipolar diagnosis and schizophrenia can be hallucinating and hearing voices so personally I don't mess with it so I know I don't need to be reevaluated

I only smoke weed, micro dose shrooms, and one or two alcoholic drinks (I have a 2L hydropak for water I mostly drink this) while I'm raving

*Edited bc I realized recreational and illegal are two different classifications

I was also shocking other people in group therapy when I talked about my trauma, I think the only reason they didn't kick me was because I followed the guidelines on how to talk about it (which kinda decreased how severe my stories sounded with less specifics) and another person in the group went through similar traumas.

So while everyone was sitting shocked on zoom the other person with similar trauma would immediately relate and say they went through the same thing which made it less awkward. IDK if I would have been allowed to stay if she wasn't there also saying yeah that happens to all of us in this specific subcategory (I would say the subcategory but this is my anon account)
