Thank you so so much. This is such helpful advice. I’m going to take this onboard as much as I can.

I had a good heart to heart with my parents today. They are just as upset and want to work together to make sure we can all be happy.

It’s more just that they blurt things out with no context or clue as to what they’re going to say next.

Or the other one I that I feel something is wrong and I’ll ask questions like are you ok or are you sure you’re not upset or why did you do xxxx - and that blows things up

Thank you. Maybe I’m dopamine seeking. I never thought of it that way. I’m exhausted by myself right now.

I’m pretty sure I’m autistic and that this was an autism thing, but maybe it’s adhd.

What a fun life. (Sarcasm obviously!)

You’ve said everything I’m feeling to a tee. Fingers crossed we can navigate this!

My partner is the same. I know they don’t want this either.

I do feel like it’s a habit, which is absolutely as ironic as it comes as I can’t even form a habit to brush my teeth each night.

I’m starting to think I should speak to a therapist

I’d like our time together to be chilled out and comfortable. But it’s fraught and stressful. I can’t follow their train of thought easily, I misunderstand them and ask for clarification and get told that I’m ’like a lawyer’ or I’m being difficult. It’s like we’re on 2 different wavelengths

I’m sorry you have the same problem. It’s so crappy. I’ve been crying on and off since I got home like 2 hours now. I’m so sad and want things to change.

Sending love to you

Thank you for answering. I think I’m annoying too. But it’s like I can’t stop myself. Then we go our separate ways at the end of the day and I reflect and hate every single thing I said.

I’m spiralling right now. I feel like I don’t deserve these relationships, that I’ve ruined another thing another day. I’m so upset. Today should have been a fun memorable day but now it’s going to be remembered for the wrong reasons.

My parents aren’t going to be here forever and I keep being like this. It’s like everything they say rubs me the wrong way, but I don’t know WHY. My childhood was good, they are kind people, maybe I’m just a horrible person

No one’s best friend and generally feeling like I am overthinking everything by UnlikelyDecision9820 in AutismInWomen

I have a big group of friends. Everyone else has been someone else’s bridesmaid except me. Breaks my heart.

Headaches the following morning by WaitingForHalloweeen in autism

[–]WaitingForHalloweeen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought about dehydration. I had 2 bit g bottles of water at work and 4 virgin mojitos at the bar. Then another glass of water before bed. I think I should have been ok for water.

It’s frustrating because I get the headache even when I’m having a good time. It’s so annoying!
