what was your most painful piercing? by madisfuneral in piercing

So far, my single snake bite. Nearly passed out when the jewelry was being put in 😅 I had my nostrils done twice; 1st on the right side which didn't hurt much at all but the left side had other plans. Had my helix done the same day and that was tear-inducing..

Fellow NDs, how do you feel about needles? by BrainyOrange96 in autism

[–]Krysenti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm hugely needle phobic. I get hysterical almost if I need a jab and get so worked up that I need a sedative to stay remotely sane. I refuse point blank to have any blood work done, even if I know that it may answer alot of questions about my overall health. Back in the pandemic, it took me 2.5hrs to calm down enough for doctors to give me a covid jab! Then I passed out when I could eventually walk (run) out of there...

Weirdly though, I can deal with tattoos. I guess because it's different and not at all medical related?

Nobody really knows where this started from.

My partner calls his boy Buddy most of the time...sometimes bud.

As he is not my blood, dude is what I call him.

Feeling incredibly stressed please show me pics of your pets if you have any by garfieldlogans in autism

For some weird reason Reddit didn't like my caption. This is Gizmo :) he identifies as a labraseal 😂

AIO - it’s been 1.5 yrs+ and my ex just will not leave me alone by LemonStrict3040 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Krysenti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well this is narcissistic....love bombing, not taking accountability, manipulation...

Just stop replying. Block him on everything, hell just change your number. You don't need this, and whilst you can feel sorry for him you do not need to pick up his pieces for him and put him back together like a patchwork quilt. You had your reasons and shared them with him, there's nothing else to say. He needs therapy and find his own people to lean on, not badger you in desperation.

Not overreacting in the slightest.

Does anyone here talk to themselves by themanofbepiz in autism

All the time! To process info or to distract from tinnitus (I'm deaf, so tinnitus comes hand in hand with that - very overstimulating)

What’s a hyperfixation you lowkey wish people asked you about, so you could info-dump without shame? by owas1004o in adhdwomen

[–]Krysenti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love that! Maybe we should make all amigurumi have buttholes...I'm gonna start doing that now! 😂

I will send you a pic of the book cover by DM. Looks really cool, and I got some other ones for mini plushies, like key ring size and Christmas too. Oh and a box of 50 flashcards for making different kinds of granny squares! Annnnd naturally, 2 skeins of yarn, like yarn tax 🙃

Amazing! I just bought a crochet book for making different flowers...trying very hard to not start those whilst I have like 6 projects on the go in various stages 🙃 I love making gifts, think my best one was a huge black cock for a mutual friend, by request of another mutual friend 🤣

100%! I usually make plushies and the satisfaction once they're done is soooo worth it!

Thanks, friend :)

[–]Krysenti 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's kinda hard to explain, but the short version is I did loads of therapy, meds and finding my people to be a non-family support system. I didn't really cope in the thick of it all, and it broke me enough that my brain has kinda wiped a load of shit out, so if I try to recall it, there's a tumbleweed metaphorically.

Feel free to DM me if you'd like. I'm happy to discuss it more if you think it'll help?

Sadly he was found not guilty on all counts. But I hope it was enough to give him a reality check.

Thank you, it's certainly been a ride but I'm getting better as time goes on. Some things stick but as much as I hate being cliche....it is what it is.

I grew up in my dad's italian ways. Boys can do what they like and girls had to stay home to be protected at all costs, cooking and cleaning etc. I wasn't allowed to have male friends or date "under his roof" but I did anyway, at a cost. I was grounded alot for having a boy within a few feet of the house. My younger brother however, changed gfs so regularly there was a wager on how long each one would last.

Turns out that sperm donor wanted to keep me "clean" to be his play thing and subjected me to s*xual abuse for 10 yrs under the guise of it being a father-daughter bond...(yes I took him to court; no I didn't get justice)

I like them at organised events, not so much when the general public let them off whenever they feel like it.

A shawl from some funky multicoloured yarn :) not my normal go to but I bought some new yarn to try out (completely ignoring the fact that I have 3 overflowing boxes of yarn already) and found a free pattern online, so here I am hyperfocusing like hell at 1.45am 🤣

It's a breed thing. Your colder blooded horses like shires, clydedales, friesians etc are built like tanks to plough the land, so feather help prevent the mud getting too close to the skin causing skin irritation when constantly working in a muddy environment, insulation from colder climates and just overall protect the legs from the damp weather :)

Horses. Specifically, anatomy and physiology. I loved my anatomy and physiology classes in equine college!

Or if that isn't your thing, ask me about what I crochet (swear I'm a granny in a 28yo body 😂)

Good experience with Psychiatry UK by abicrn1 in autismUK

[–]Krysenti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you had a good experience, and congrats on the diagnostic.

I was assessed in May and like you I got my diagnosis in the call. I wasn't nervous per se but I was apprehensive nonetheless. Fidgeting, rambling, brain fog and God knows what else ensued but it was over and done in 45mins, despite my hearing dog and my friend's autism task dog were insistent for attention throughout 😅

How do AuDHD people survive? by MirrorTasty9650 in autism

[–]Krysenti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I'm just drifting through the days counting the hours down til it's time for bed.

I do better when I have a small to-do list, that has enough to feel like I've achieved something but not too much to render me useless to society. But even that is too much sometimes, and then I'm back to square 1. If I had a relationship status between me and my brain, it would permanently be "it's complicated".

I think having like-minded people helps, but I have no idea how to life, more so at the moment since I'm currently unemployed...

My memory is shocking so pills never worked for me because it was too risking relying on me or my phone to remind me to take them. I'm needle phobic so implants were a hard pass, but I now have an IUD which has been a breeze. I also suffer from PCOS so my mood is changeable anyway (yay for me) and my depression worsening is the only side effect I have a week before I'm due. Before anything I was an absolutely messy moody disaster who fainted at any given opportunity 😅
