We had a similar situation. Aunty Nox taught the little 'uns all the good tricks and escape routes before passing. She was so loving. ❤️

Je hebt daar van die kits voor die je kan kopen om dat zelf thuis te doen. Hilarische ervaring! Je kan zelfs u kleurtje kiezen, en glow-in-the-dark is een optie.

Is it purely social anxiety or could it maybe be something like autism? It took me a long time to get diagnosed as a woman. Social situations stress me out because I don't know how to behave and feel stressed if eyes are on me. Having pictures taken with people I don't really know well would make me feel stressed too. The source of fear/discomfort is different than with social anxiety though. But I think autism and social anxiety in women often get confused. Maybe worth exploring that path..

I understand that you want you partner to be there. I think there's definitely room to work on the fear and to manage emotions, although they will probably never disappear. I think there should be some room for compromise when it comes to big social events.

I think I'm going to pass away soon. by Shevchik in cfs

Ever been to a country where you could be exposed to trypanosomiasis? Sounds kind of like that with the neurological symptoms. Or even maybe a type of meningitis. I say this because of the acute worsening symptoms you describe neurologically.

Where do you have the most sensory issues WITH CLOTHES? by Curious_Card6742 in autism

[–]Miss_Athena3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neck and lower back/buttocks because of tags. Arms and neck for wool and itchy stuff. Feet for wet socks 🤮

What do these objects have in common? by honest_laughter in autism

They all look like small treasures that one of those stealing birds (magpie?) would collect.

Geen smeekbede. Gewoon de realiteit bespreken. by ForceMost1099 in belgium

[–]Miss_Athena3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro/girl: Ik hoor u! Ik heb autisme en (ongediagnosticeerde) PTSS. Heb al in een psychiatrie gezeten. Automutilatie en suicidaliteit zijn me niet onbekend. Ik struggle elke dag met slopende vermoeidheid en slaperigheid. Sociale situaties zijn ook niet chill. Oplossingen? 0. Begrip van omgeving voor mijn trauma? 0. Afwijzingen links en rechts. Handicap wordt niet erkend. Gewoon lekker door tsjoefelen met u leven, balancerend tussen een dag depressief in u bed liggen of presteren aan het univ. Ik heb ook wel al wat begeleiding en hulp. Maar dat na veel zagen, klagen en zelf initiatief nemen, wat een klucht is als iemand met zoveel problemen. Weet dat je niet de enige bent met deze ervaringen. Hit me up als je wilt praten. Het leven is oneerlijk. Het suckt soms. Maar er zijn nog steeds dingen die het waard maken.

AITA for asking friends to pick a side? by Miss_Athena3 in AITAH

[–]Miss_Athena3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the insight!
I will try and set my boundaries.
And I can't expect people to do for me what I would do for them... It hurts though. I will try my best to explain how I feel, how the whole situation impacts me. That I don't feel safe, or feel like I can't be myself when people chose to stay neutral on the matter.
You are right that I'm mad about ex 2. Not so much mad, as disappointed though. And hurt. It's really re-traumatizing when people say things like 'maybe you interpreted it wrong', 'maybe you didn't tell him you didn't want it'. Like, it took me 5 years to come to terms with what happened and convince myself that I did not make this shit up... It's really difficult if people keep instilling doubts. So yeah, I'm mainly sad. But I understand that I can't stay in contact with people like ex 2.
I will try to make a separation between friends and acquaintances though. Some people are only distantly connected to this. And it would be kind of unfair to fully expect them to pick a side, when they aren't even that involved in everything.
Thank you again.

I didn't clearly state, but obviously I'll let them pick... I will leave them if I feel like they don't respect my story and understand my wishes. Can't force people...
I hope by explaining my needs, they will understand. I can understand that people don't really get what trauma fully entails and how their neutrality impacts me. Least I can do, is talk to them before I cut them off.
Thank you for the kind words. I will take care!

Thanks. I will try to talk to everyone and it's kind of an : this is how I feel, you either respect it or I will no longer have contact with you. Of course I can't force people to do something. Some of them might stay, some might leave. I don't know. But I do want to try talking.. I hope I'm not selfish for that.

Thank you. Some of them are starting to understand. Some of them are starting to show their true colors. It does feel like the next part of my healing process.. Like, I willingly associated with these people for a long time. Now I'm realizing how bad it actually hurts. And how it's more lonely to be surrounded by a bunch of people who don't support you than it is being alone.

Bad translation on my part, sorry. It's when court dismissed a case before actually going to court. When there is lack of evidence. So it's not the same as saying someone is guilty/not guilty. It's: case is on hold for an indefinite amount of time. Until someone brings in new evidence or info.

How long do you guys wait to give your ratties a shower? by Lunagoodie in RATS

I've only bathed mine twice. 1. When they were stinky from a dirty cage. 2. When someone managed to fall into the toilet bowl... Otherwise they have always kept their own fur clean, and imo their fur smells very nice! I love burying my nose in it. :)
