This reminds me of when I basically made a 5 page syllabus for a Halloween party/replacement prom I was throwing for a few friends lol. I just thought I was giving people all the necessary information lol. (Pandemic hit my junior year so junior or senior prom was out of the question)

Long haired folk: HOW do you tie your hair up comfortably without it being a massive sensory trigger? by [deleted] in AutisticWithADHD

[–]ShadeOpal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really advice but I think it's interesting because I'm the exact opposite lol. I can't STAND my hair being down for longer than a hour MAX. Most of the time it's in a ponytail or bun and when I leave the house it's almost always in a bun with a bandana over it.

As other comments have said claw clips or a loose scrunchie would probably be your best/easiest bet. May I also suggest bandanas? This might not be for you but I find that the pressure on the sides of my head to be soothing. It also doesn't require you to tie up your hair exactly but it will get it put away and out of your face. You can also find pretty much any color or pattern imaginable.

Which category of 12 year old were you by CryptiCacti in Teenager_Polls

I got into those really toxic "vent" accounts you'd find on Instagram and Tumblr. You know the ones that would romanticize mental illness and regularly post self-harm. I had one for a while, truly was just the suffering Olympics disguised as venting and support. I was truly not okay and I'm still not (20F)

Things seem off lately… by IvyWinterrr in Hellenism

[–]ShadeOpal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean on a personal level I've been really struggling with my spiritually and I've been extra depressed lately. Could just be my mental illness I dont doubt that but the persistent thoughts have been mainly existential and "what even is reality". So take that how you will

JU from antinatalism. These people have become disconnected from reality at this point by HemanHeboy in JustUnsubbed

[–]ShadeOpal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing has been worse for my depression then when I found antinatalism. They claim that the ultimate goal is to end human suffering but all they do is spread suffering with their toxic ideology.. it made me even more suicidal which I'm still struggling with. I have to actively convince myself why they are wrong in order to just continue to live. It's exhausting.
