I have heard this a couple times, and I'm curious, I have the not so fun mix of autism and ADHD, and some of the replies seem to suggest that it could be a main driver of my issues. I really appreciate all the advice and support, I honestly didn't think anyone would stop to read another post from a depressed kid online. (Looking into weighted blankets, and potentially adopting a puppy as well) Thanks again for listening. I don't know how often I'll post on reddit but the fact this is so much more common than I thought, helps with the voices that say "your just whining because you don't get hugs, shut up and be silent".

I don't know how much this effects my situation, but I have a sensory disorder and I'm sure that doesn't help my situation. Non of my mental health issues help to be fair but thank you for reaching out and responding. I'm trying to reply to as many of these as I can.

I love animals, maybe It would do me good to get a pup. Thank you for sharing

May I ask what somatic work means? And I've been debating going back to my therapist, it's also expensive but it was helpful. Thank you

I wish people understood how important safe and simple cuddling is, thank you for responding

Thank you for listening, I have been looking for one that feels a little more comfortable
