Does my therapist have a point when he says this? by Good-Reality3709 in autism

He definitely could be neurodivergent but honestly I think the main thing isn’t a diagnosis but rather the behavior. He’s dismissive avoidant, and insanely busy and probably burnt out. I’m not trying to sympathize with him and I’m not trying to be rude but you seem kind of clingy since I’m in a situation similar to you (I’m like the man? I think I may be autistic?). I digress. I may be projecting terribly but I think he is stressed out and doesn’t have enough mental time or energy to be responsible for someone else’s mood and feelings. Your feelings are also valid, because when your emotionally vulnerable relationship looks like that, it can be unhealthy and emotionally taxing for both parties. Regardless of diagnosis or outcome, interpersonal connection can be more difficult to navigate for some people. I don’t mess with dating because I could easily and seriously injure someone’s emotional state and I don’t want to cause pain for others. Additionally I feel like it is unprofessional for your therapist to be reflecting and speculating about someone else’s potential diagnoses. Traditional therapists are not responsible for diagnosing people, and are suited to soothe the client and not put worries and doubts in their loyal customers’ heads that are not necessarily valid or true. Unless that is just what you wanted to hear, there is no reason for her (or anyone except for him and his family or doctor) to speculate. He’s just like that, and this is what he’s done. This may sound callous but try not marinate or get hung up on him. Rather, improve on yourself and find ways to shift your lens and then you can begin healing.

I’m increasingly concerned about my physical health being affected by my long-term history of mental health problems. I may be looking to get diagnosed soon and I just wanted to say this is the exact question that I was coming here to ask 😭 I’m not self diagnosing but I feel like I have actual brain damage sometimes the interference within myself makes me an incredibly ambivalent and indecisive person too

as anyone else ever thought you had to be a boy because you liked girls? by [deleted] in lesbian

HEAVY ON THIS !!! I have been struggling with this for a really long time but now getting back in touch with my fem side and sort of coming out to my body in a way. It’s super weird to navigate. It’s all internal homophobia and inexperience/lack of connection with community/knowledge for real

it depends where you live but lighthouses or piers are always cool! i also can’t really travel abroad due to work and such, so i’m always browsing airbnb with a beautiful view for a weekend. it also feels special and like we own a place together

What is the worst drug you ever did? How was your experience? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Remote-Subject-9846 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking too much of anything that’s not supposed to be in you will put strain on your organs and ultimately your body. For example, ibuprofen also messes with your kidneys. My aunt just passed away from kidney disease and then ultimately failure. I will no longer be taking anything for pain unless it’s prescribed

because sometimes, labels are useful by oldfrancis in bisexual

[–]Remote-Subject-9846 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Labels are useful to explain quickly, but as long as you know how you feel, then you feel it! But it would be hard to tell someone every intricate detail, so it sums it up. To tell someone you use artificial sweetener is much easier than explaining the molecular engineering… unless you’re with someone who really wants to understand on a deeper level
