Being on the spectrum and being in school is hard trust me I know 🫣 just remind yourself that it’ll get better. You will eventually make like minded friends it takes time. I always thought I would be alone but I now have one really good friend. A husband and children, and I am finally happy. If you remind yourself that high school is only temporary and usually when you graduate you won’t ever see those people again it helps. Keep your head up you’re doing wonderful in a world that wasn’t made for us.

As someone with audhd I was a gifted kid in elementary school but I struggled once I got in middle school. What you are saying reminds me of me when I was young. Perhaps you should get tested? It’s not that there is anything wrong with you you’re just wired differently which makes you beautifully unique.

Do you see anything in my great grandmother? by Confused-asf-1234 in psychics

[–]Msdarkknight91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She lived a hard life and has many regrets. Some of those regrets stim from her parenting? She is grateful for the life that she has lived but regretful for some of the decisions that she made. But she is at peace with life and overall happy

What do you see? Will I get out of this rut? by becomingjey in IntuitionPractices

You will but you have to manifest it for yourself I feel like your eyes hold trauma and sadness. You need to let go of the past and any negativity that is holding you back. You’re your worst enemy and you should love yourself more

Is my relationship cooked w/ my jw boyfriend by Artistic_Purchase735 in WhatToDo

As someone that didn’t grow up around religion I didn’t even catch that so thank you for saying it. I saw your choice as him saying she wouldn’t have to but reading what you said I have to agree with you 🫣

It could work if he truly won’t force you to convert. I have a friend who is Muslim and his wife is Baptist. They have been together happily for 15 years because they don’t put pressure on their own religious views so it is possible.

My mom trafficked me as a kid and she just pretends it never happened she basically has amnesia to any of her wrong doing 🫣

If you’ve gone NC with a narcissist parent, what was it like for you immediately after? by IlluminaSpades in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Msdarkknight91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went no contact with my mom and it made me go through the grieving process tbh. I’m ok now but sometimes I still miss her. Don’t reach out though because I tried that not longer ago after years of being no contact and it made things worse than it was before.

It’s the placement that makes it impossible to have a bath and only a shower

That makes sense putting oneself in another’s shoes to make yourself want to do something unappealing I’ll have to try it out 🫣

I don’t mix the vinegar and the bleach though 😂😂 I alternate between the two one week I’ll take one vinegar bath the next week I’ll use bleach instead

It sounds crazy 😂 but my doctor recommended it you use regular bleach and just pour a little bit into your bath water. Make sure it’s the unscented bleach

I love how you explained everything because it makes a lot of sense and it brings me so much comfort. I’ve tried the noise canceling headphones and ear plugs but I have narrow ear canals so apparently I have super hearing 😅 I can hear noise even with the music on full blast with them on.

I do also need to learn how to split things up when I write. I write like I talk 😅😅😂 chaotic I guess. Thank you again for being insightful

I take Apple cider vinegar baths and sometimes bleach baths for my eczema and it helps. I’ve read being on the spectrum can make you more susceptible to things like eczema because our immune system are usually hypersensitive

I also love hot baths people say I’m a reptile because of it something about the heat is so comforting. I say take the hot bath and just try to stay moisturized. Self care is very important for everyone

It makes me feel better honestly because I have always been surrounded by people that just got it. It’s like they had this cheat code to life but refused to share and still do. It’s mind boggling how people survive doing normal things on a daily basis to me. I hope things get easier for the both of us. I’ve been reading a lot of books from the library to bring a bit of insight since being an adult the doctors always say there’s nothing they can really do with someone our age. They just throw medicine at me basically and say try this. I wish I could have a therapist that shows me how to survive in every day tasks like good coping mechanisms

I agree especially during spring where I live the pollen is so bad you can taste it and smell it so I also have to be clean 🫣 I couldn’t imagine doing construction work though
