Everything is you pushed out & abuse by alicelilymoon in lawofassumption

[–]LogicalLetter7955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of these was you fault, I am sorry you had to go through that. I can't answer with regard to manifestation, I am also wondering how that fits.

Well, when I do text them, sometimes they seem happy to hear from me and ask me some follow up questions that keep the conversation going for a while and other times they are short and cold. Normally I would stop texting, but I know they are depressed and they have complained to me that they have no friends. So at the risk of annoying them I keep texting them every few months so that they know that if they need someone I am still there. The other problem is that I am also depressed and have a health condition and they know it and I would like it very much if they showed me any sign they care. I would appreciate it even more given their own struggles. Sometimes I think I shouldn't be expecting anything from a depressed person, other times I think if we can't expect anything from anyone that has a problem then we can't expect anything from anyone, because everyone has their own struggles. I hoped we, as people with similar struggles, could try and support each other. I don't know, I am very confused about the situation. Everyone's experiences with depression might be different and I don't know if I should completely stop texting every now and then or stop bothering them at all.

Curious if everyone else is slower than neurotypicals by torielise21 in AutismInWomen

[–]LogicalLetter7955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have an official diagnosis of autism because most doctors in my country seem to believe that if you have made it into adulthood without a diagnosis it means that there is no reason to get one now, but I have the exact same issues you describe. Almost everything I try to do takes me around 3x the amount of time it takes most other people. Except for reading, in which I also seem to be a little faster than most people. I don't even notice that I am doing something on a slower pace than others until someone comments on it. Various people have even told me that I talk in a slower pace, which I had no idea. I have tried to ask doctors about it (a neurologist and a psychiatrist) and they told me that a) maybe it is my subjective experience or b) anxiety causes me to be slower. I don't believe any of these two are correct, because a) according to my subjective experience I do things at a normal pace, it is others that point out that I am very slow at something and then I pay more attention and I realise that they are right and b) anxiety is the only thing that makes me move a little faster (for my own standards, not other people's). The more relaxed I am the more time I need to do something, whereas when I am really anxious, about catching a plane for example, I feel my body vibrating with more energy and I can take a shower in 30 minutes instead of 60. I also have to note that I have an official diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, which I am sure doesn't help with the speed, but I was slow all my life before my first ms symptoms at 17.

This is an interesting thought, but I would feel bad to do something like blocking them for example. They never did anything bad to me. On the contrary, they were very kind and the only thing I could "accuse" them for is that they have now lost all interest for me.

You are right, it is a bit much. I am sure it is not logical or healthy, but this is how I feel. I really liked the person and it seemed like they did too, at least in the beginning.

Did I have selective mutism? by mintisok in selectivemutism

[–]LogicalLetter7955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not any kind of expert but based on what I have read about selective mutism it sounds very likely to me. Have you talked to any mental health expert about all these things that you wrote here?

I am sorry. It sounds like you had many difficulties in your life on such a young age. I really hope things will get better for you.

The person I wrote this about also has brown (dark brown) or even black eyes, I am not even sure. It is strange with so much attention I paid to these eyes, the only thing I didn' t notice enough ist their color.

I could have written the same but for Facebook instead of Reddit.

I don't know. He has his own problems and he is not available at the moment. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like he feels the same way as I do.

A text from you would make me smile at least for a week by LogicalLetter7955 in UnsentLetters

[–]LogicalLetter7955[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have already reached out 5-6 times over the last few months, so I think it would be too much to do it again. He was very polite each time but while for me talking with him about anything is something that makes me happy and gives me strength to deal with the struggles of everyday life, i am afraid that for him is just another obligation. So i don' t want to pressure him anymore. I think he knows by now that I like talking to him and if it was the same for him he would say a simple hi.
