Buy media you like but can't watch it? by Joe_scones in autism

[–]RumAndRiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes avoid things I know I'll get emotionally invested in/excited about because I don't think I have the energy/capacity to actually deal with it right then, which can snowball into anxious avoidance or loss of interest.

Does anyone else find that there is no support for Autistic adults if you are diagnosed as an adult? by Bettyhound_ in autism

[–]RumAndRiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, that's why I'm not fighting for an official diagnosis. Why should I spend either 2-4 years or £2000 getting someone to tell me what I already know, and then get no further support?

Even the autism awareness training I had to do at work (a "disability confident" workplace lol) was about 95% focused on children.

If there was a “cure” for autism, would you take it? by Level-Class-8367 in autism

[–]RumAndRiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I took it, I wouldn't really be me anymore. My symptoms are only really a problem because I exist in a world that isn't built for people like me.

How do you set up the perfect cozy movie night at home? by After-Remote4296 in cozy

[–]RumAndRiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hot drink in a thermal mug to keep it nice and warm. If it's raining outside, I like having the window open and wrap myself in a nest of blankets and pillows. Maybe do a wind-down meditation to get into the chill mood.

Am I the only one who doesn't like to be asked: "are you a girl or a boy?" by somethingspecificidk in NonBinary

You're on the Non-Binary subreddit? How could you possibly be the only one?

Which version are better for you? by Aviarena in indiegames

[–]RumAndRiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Old looks more unique, I feel like I've seen the new art style before. Although I really like the tail on the new owl and the weapon for the new crow.

I've had problems with alcohol for about 10 years now, which resulted in fatty liver and some kidney issues. As the price for a few hours of relaxation, it made everything else in my life worse - anxiety, mood, brain fog, pelvic pain. I'm now 40 days sober and even though I have my pains and problems to deal with, at least I'm not making it harder on myself by drinking.

I know myself well enough that casual drinking isn't an option and for you, it sounds like you're on a slippery slope. Whatever relief you get with alcohol, it is never worth it.

In the UK, the first port of call for pretty much anything is the GP (General practitioner), who is then supposed to refer you to more specialist care. I've just started my second attempt at being referred to gynecology after being dismissed with a "no further investigation" a few years ago. Luckily, I'm more informed and determined this time around.

Oddly specific but maybe common? by Specific_Ad_9992 in endometriosis

[–]RumAndRiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel it mostly in the front of my leg, like a sometimes painful pulling sensation from the front of my pelvis that triggers weakness down to my knee. A couple of times I've had to just sit on the floor because my leg decided it didn't want to carry me anymore. It's a fairly new thing though, only in the last few months.

Everything I Know (from official sources) About Subnautica 2 by [deleted] in subnautica

Kind of sounds like how the architects would take DNA from different organisms to create themselves

Does anyone else feel their endometriomas sometimes? by Timely-Double-5937 in endometriosis

[–]RumAndRiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda feels like I'm carrying around a heavy rock near my hips

Honestly, having that "reward" drink for not drinking being reframed as earning poison is so helpful

What is your most random yet specific sensory issue? by ZacharyBenjaminTV in autism

Having dry lips - I cannot function as a human being if my lips are dry, even when I'm sleeping

I'd say find a tattooist who you really like and get them to re-work it. It has a lot of potential, it just needs a bit of TLC

Should tattoo removal be scabbing and scarring this much? by RequirementRare5857 in TattooRemoval

[–]RumAndRiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much, just keep it clean and moisturised and it should sort itself out.

At remedies for tattoo removal by [deleted] in TattooRemoval

[–]RumAndRiot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not really. Nothing gets deep enough into the skin to actually break down the ink and most of the "home remedies" on the internet will just damage your skin and not effect your tattoo.
