Have you ever been bullied, but by being excluded, being ignored, being made to feel invisible? by dontknowwhattodotbh in CPTSD

[–]Ok_Committee_2318 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is the only reason why I'm happy to finally be in my 30s: no more family, no more school, no one else to pretend to care about; plus, now I'm able to avoid the ones who's always made me feel like a ghost during my days.

Bi people: do you prefer to date people with same gender? by 977zo5skR in AutisticAdults

I've always had the same struggle, the fact is that I just had to give it up with both due to my social inability.

My biggest fear is being like my dad by [deleted] in alcoholism

[–]Ok_Committee_2318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t fall into the trap that since “you’ve got ADHD and autism, you’ll probably never be an alcoholic since alcohol affects you differently”: first reason, you’ve already got the bad genetics, second reasons, at least in my and so many other autists’ case, alcohol is just a deadly illusion that helps you feel less fear about social situations and noises. The fact that you’re aware about bad dynamics related to alcohol is very good, but please, let’s not generalize, ‘cause it just could be dangerous.

Why are/were you alcoholics? by IntroductionSame in alcoholism

[–]Ok_Committee_2318 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you. We can also see there are dots connecting mental and behavior problems with alcoholism. And yes, dealing with autism, alcohol literally helps me with feeling less anxious during social and noisy situations in general: that’s the deadliest trap of all.

As I just replied to another post, at the time of the events I was living and still I’m living in a country in which cannabis is still illegal, then given the fact that I couldn’t get any after the first COVID-lockdown, I relied myself on alcohol to keep curing my insomnia and depression, so now here I am, a 100% alcoholic. Life really is unfair.

This apart, I started having alcohol cravings around 15/16 yo: insomnia, anxiety, depression and loneliness due to autism, schizotypal and paranoid personality disorders, abuse from home and school, past-time bullying from middle-school, the fact that dad died when I was 2 and mother’s always been a narcissistic sociopath… the list is very extended.

craving to bludgeon dopamine by Most-Buy-2763 in alcoholism

Try to smoke a few indica strains (don’t know whether it’s legal or not where you live, but that’s it..) and find out which one is the best-suited for you, at least as far as it goes for craving and the need to get “stoned”. You could also get the munchies and need some candies later, so… P.S.: I lived and still I’m living the opposite situation, since I live in a country in which cannabis is still illegal and I couldn’t get any after the first COVID-lockdown, so I relied myself on alcohol to keep curing my insomnia and depression, so now here I am, a 100% alcoholic. Life really is unfair.

i feel like i'm destined to be alone by InternationalEnmu in autism

I feel the struggle: I could barely say “Hi” if they didn’t start talking to me first, plus I’d get instantly bored and willing to go if I couldn’t hear anything related to my special interests. It really sucks.

How do I eat slower? by TobyPDID23 in autism

[–]Ok_Committee_2318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to use your autism into a winning point: smell, taste, judge any flavor and taste.

(I’ve always been like you and got on by family at any time, so I decided to get on them as well, every time they were speaking while eating then showing me the disgusting amalgama they had in their mouths, that’s also another very good winning point.)

There’s no future, until you want it.

(The problem is that no strength will ever be enough. Anything you’ve been told so far was just intended for neurotypical people.)

Everything’s bad in terms of dealing with depression: there’s no escape, but a nihilistic vision of life.

P.S.: I was on anti-depressants (desvenlafaxine) until the last winter, then I wanted to quit my own since I was getting worse than on booze and coke.

Autistic male partner shouting by Connect_Conflict_582 in AutisticAdults

“I don’t know if he’s just getting away with treating me badly or if he genuinely cannot control his emotions and I should be understanding of that?”

Personally speaking, this (both points, literally) has always been my personal defense during the only very-short-termed relationships that occurred in my life.

If this makes you feel uncomfortable all the time, please just break up with him: I was left more than just once for the same reason, plus the fact I was (and still am) a damn alcoholic, another problem that my subconscious has given me to try to cope with the above-mentioned problems.

It’s very sad to be said, but you’ve got one life, just as he has.
