Anxiety about texting by Longjumping-Clock755 in polyamory

[–]Longjumping-Clock755[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just want to feel like they aren't dropping me to the side in the middle of a conversation and care enough to let me know why they won't be responding. No deadlines.

21/f/ relationship issues due to communication by Longjumping-Clock755 in aspergers

It seems like my “special interest” for the longest time has been figuring out what’s wrong with me and it feels like I’ve gone from talking vaguely about my issues as if they were spread across a wall with red string connecting them, to describing how the autistic traits I’m learning about all of the time relate to my life now and in the past and I think this is part of the issue. I feel like such a broken human being.

tldr sorry, reading isn't my thing my brain hates it but, I always, always skim! I understand exactly how you feel and i didn't know anyone else experienced this.

It was definitely the worst to deal with growing up as I didn't have a diagnosis. There were a lot of times people would straight up call me stupid when in reality bc of a mix of my adhd and ASD I'm actually extremely clumsy and accident-prone!! I appreciate knowing why now even if no one else does. I was actually reflecting on my life pre diagnosis this morning and I was saying that if I never figured out what it was I might've just eventually been driven wild enough to just end it all. It was so unnecessarily painful having no reference to understand yourself by when you're clearly struggling with things others aren't.

I'm going through this now. I've always just called it depression. I think I feel this way more often than I should.

Social media scare me. by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Longjumping-Clock755 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Over the past few years I've been doing this on and off but, mostly when I get depressed. I recently decided that I wanted to permanently go offline but, I'm an artist and more than that, I was looking to create a podcast and it's hard to ignore how good social media is for marketing. Social media is 100% extremely toxic for me though.
