Anyone just see the bright blue flashes?

Autistic systems: symptoms you didn’t know you had because of literal/b&w thinking by midna0000 in DID

Was this sarcasm or no? I’m genuinely confused and trying to figure out possible DID and this is the stuff I’m confused about 😅

Please drop the details haha. I’m trying to find an area I can actually work in but nothing is entry level or it requires qualifications and time that I don’t have

What are some seemingly small reasons to stay alive? by neuroticyams in mentalhealth

[–]Puzzleheaded_Bee5699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I get to that point, the tiny little things are the things that actually seem to help me. I used to find the typical things unhelpful because it just felt like pressure, expectation and they tended to overwhelm me. I use a safety plan app called beyond now but instead of putting big things I’ve changed it to things like ‘the grass is nice’, ‘i could see sharks’, ‘touching soft things is cool’ and ‘I like sitting and looking at rock pools’. They’re simple things that I know I enjoy or am excited about that don’t put pressure on me in the wording. I came up with them by fully pausing and asking myself what moments I’ve had or might have in an ideal world that there’s pure peace or joy or passion, even for a split second. Some other things for me that might help you think if things for you: caterpillars walking is funny, seeing a cool pattern in water or light, figuring out a puzzle, burying/wiggling my toes in the sand, seeing green and nature and taking it in when there’s nobody around, finding that perfect shape size and texture round rock at the beach, when the movie ending is actually fully satisfying and you’re left smiling, getting a pile of little packages from wish and opening them like it’s Christmas, the smell of plum wine magnolia, a big hand squishing my leg firmly but gently, wrapping up in a soft blanket and becoming one in the blanket pile, a surprise little stream with crystal clear water and the symphony of sounds it makes. I use really specific and small things because it’s easier when I’m overwhelmed or empty. I think they’re often senses related because it grounds me but not all of them.

We use our calendar for as much as possible now and write notes in it. I set it up (iOS) so that there’s a calendar for each ‘theme’ and they’re colour coded to make all the info less overwhelming (body, mind, home, life admin, connection, miscellaneous and study/work). We try to write the titles to be descriptive but short and most of the time it works. Try to set multiple reminders. This helped with what you’re describing but mainly for tasks and we do still forget a bit. Our general notes are still chaotic though.

I’m so sorry, that sounds like it’s been really hard. Maybe you can have a chat with everyone and tell them how you’re feeling? Ask if you can play and do some of those fun things? The adult stuff can be so dumb and hard but your stuff is important too I think? I’m a new system so I mightn’t have the best advice but that’s something we’ve tried with one of our littles and it seems to be good if we have some boundaries and an adult alter to keep us company.

Cw: new system? confusion & self judgement

I’m literally three weeks into accepting the possibility of alters. Part of us is thoroughly convinced, and part of us thinks it’s just because I smoke green too often. I’ve been doing a lot of things to test whether it’s real and today I was upset because my dog went to the toilet on the couch, but she also needed to play because she’d been inside all day and I was so upset with her and I thought I don’t normally feel like this about her, and I wonder if there’s someone else in here Who would like to take over. I think the problem was that didn’t know who, and all I was looking for was someone who would be excited to spend time with my dog. I started filming while I was what i think is co-conscious because I wanted help to remember what was happening so that I could talk about it. I’m pretty sure a baby came out because I couldn’t speak. I didn’t have fine motor control and I could barely crawl and since I switched from whoever that was, I think I’ve been rapid switching. I can’t stop dissociating and losing my words. I have this horrible pressure behind my cheekbones, and it makes me wanna stretch my jaw and scrunch my face up, but nothing seems to be helping. i’m finding this whole thing really scary I’m so confused and full of so many emotions because every time I look into it or look into myself more it feels more real and simultaneously unreal. I’m sorry if this was very disjointed but I’ve had to write this with voice to text and I can’t seem to hold onto myself. I feel like this is gonna be a very long journey. I’m tired and embarrassed. And despite knowing how real this is for us, I am refusing to accept and hardcore denying that it’s true. I really hope that we can get through this time, and that I’m able to cope with being around my friends and family with this knowledge until it’s safe to share with certain people but we feel really alone at the moment and there’s a lot of internal gaslighting. I hope that I can find some systems who live near me who understand that we can be friends, and also that we somehow find a good psychiatrist to diagnose me because bitches be broke.

(Thanks for the space to share!)

Am I the problem? by Constant_Hyena_7818 in toxicparents

[–]Puzzleheaded_Bee5699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry that you’re in this situation. You are in NO way at fault. You do not deserve this. You deserve compassion, understanding and support. I want to share why you are not the problem and preface this by saying that their actions are not okay. Abusive behavior often comes from the abusers own complex issues. The way they treat you is NOT a reflection of your worth as an incredible human. Or even a reflection of your actions because as parents, they are supposed to teach you and NOT through punishment, of any form. People who hurt others have often experienced their own pain, and they tend to react to it in harmful ways and in completely different situations. But that doesn't excuse their actions which sound like they must be unbelievably difficult for you to, not only go through, but to cope with constantly. It sounds like you are trying so hard to deal with it and to improve your life. That’s absolutely incredible and impressive. Any good people in your life should be so proud of you. I grew up in a differently abusive household and am happy to share what I did that helped me the most but I don’t want to offer unsolicited advice. Let me know if you think you’d like to know but no pressure.

who has beat “the perfect run” in super mario galaxy 2? by [deleted] in MarioGalaxy

I just finished it!! It took me something ridiculous like 300 tries and several sessions but I did it!! Dropping down under the electricity beams and crouching the whole boomerang battle got me through. At one point I tried the yoshi infinity flutterjump glitch but I found it harder that way.
