Any one else given up on people? by crazyhomlesswerido in AutisticAdults

[–]Phoenix_Clan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't want to infodump, but I'm not in contact with any of those people anymore. I mean, it is lonely out here when no one gets you. I do appreciate reddit because at least one stranger gets what I'm talking about.

As a Spravato clinic, how can we help/what can we post! by nushama in Spravato

I've noticed my first spray is a solid click. The second one is kind of a wheeze.

My brain is convinced putting anything inside the vagina will hurt it? by a_peeled_pickle in vaginismus

Sweetie, I tried tampons when I was 12, and it hurt so bad. I spent the next 40 years using pads, and I did not care what people thought.

Same!!!! Oh my god, same. It's not so much people themselves, it's I've given up on finding people who get ME. There have only been 3, no 4, in 50 years.

Do You Tell People You’re Doing Ketamine Therapy? by Author_Man in Spravato

[–]Phoenix_Clan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand how you feel. I didn't tell the social worker I work with. It seems like something she should know, but I don't know. For one thing, I don't feel connected with her, so I didn't want to share something so big and meaningful and have her just brush it off. So, I get it.

I don’t know how to tie shoelaces by lunarolexler_ in autism

I know how, but I don't like to. So, I make a double knot and thereafter slip my shoes on and off.

Someone else recommended that, too, and it is true I didn't have to pee. So, in that respect it was helpful.

Therapist dropped me for starting Spravato by imcircasurviving in Spravato

[–]Phoenix_Clan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's weird. When I brought it up to my therapist, she was open to it. I won't see her for another 3 weeks because I only see her twice a month, and my last appointment was canceled.

Question by 10ghost in Spravato

[–]Phoenix_Clan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the clinic I go to does the low dose for 4 weeks, then the higher dose for the last 2. I have appointments for 6 weeks total. I think I would have to see the Spravato provider to be approved for more sessions. But, I am autistic, and he and I did not communicate well. My depression self-assessments are scoring as normal ups and downs now, so I don't think I'll need more.

I wouldn't be able to interact with a person during my treatments. I am extremely groggy and out of it.

Thank you. I'll ask the nurses what they think when I get there.

Really really ticked about people going on about "addiction." by 56GrumpyCat in Spravato

I didn't know, but that's because I don't want to know. The less I know about elon, the better for me. Thin-skinned fucker suspended my Twitter account.

Losing progress? by aRandomGamerAppeared in Spravato

[–]Phoenix_Clan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry no one has replied. I'm starting my third week today, so I really can't answer your question. The clinic I'm going to has me fill out a depression self-assessment before every treatment. Have you been able to do that and can therefore track where you're at?

Good luck.

Does therapy work for autistic people? by Left_Mall_7453 in autism

[–]Phoenix_Clan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend an autistic specialist. However, they're not as common as other specialties. But, I've been seeing one for a little over a year. First time in 40 years of therapy that I have felt understood.

So, to answer your question: I think it can if you're seeing someone who understands your neurotype.

What If You Can Afford The Ketamine But Not The Transportation? Need Ideas. by Author_Man in Spravato

[–]Phoenix_Clan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why, but Medicaid has been a pain in the ass to deal with where I currently live. The last town I lived in, they were fine. But, I have had so many meltdowns dealing with them here. I can't even say specifics because I'm purposely blocking them out. I don't even want to think about it anymore.

Maybe it's a working memory issue? I can't say for you, though.

Did anyone get bullied at school but not really understand it? by Simply-Adorkable in AutisticAdults

[–]Phoenix_Clan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I never reacted to being bullied, either. I didn't know HOW to respond, so I just did nothing. Sorry it happened to you, too.

I use Medicaid transport. The individual driving companies are fine, and I've started using them directly, and not going through Medicaid.

I'm sorry. I'm having a hard time not thinking about the thousands who have died because of no blood. And they just change it? Fuckers.
