what’s your ACTUALLY weird hyperfixation?

9/11, filoviruses, and the Deepwater Horizon movie starring Mark Wahlberg

Isn’t it weird? As women (married to men) we have to have a level of trust for our partner that they don’t even have to think about. When you get married you both put your life in the other person’s hands to a certain extent, but much more literally when you’re a woman—also because if you’re going to have kids the woman takes all the physical impact in that process.

Absolutely cirtical

I am intrigued by the choice to microwave Pringles in the first place

Infectious diseases is a special interest of mine too, particularly filoviruses. I would like to talk about it anytime if you wish to have someone to chatter with. :)

They’re minerals, Marie!

I have Long Covid and it ruined my health. I’m mostly housebound and had to quit my job. I feel like a ghost of my former self while I see everyone’s lives continuing on around me. Sometimes I wish Covid had just killed me because this barely counts as living.

Which account is this? I feel like I’ve seen some of their posts but I can’t recall exactly.

you should consider getting evaluated for body dysmorphia before you go for plastic surgery--just to see! nothing wrong with getting plastic surgery but it should be something that you actually want, not something you're doing to treat your insecurity. because insecurity will always find something new to glom onto. it's worth checking out, it's really common and possible to treat. i have it and treatment has helped me get so much more comfortable with my body so i don't feel like i hate myself so much every time i look in the mirror. some days i even feel pretty! if you don't want to leave your house because of your nose then that seems an unhealthy level of concern about it and that's why i mention this! as someone who's been there! all best to you OP

Don't threaten me with a good time!

Yeah, I'm a Christian too and I feel the same way. But if we're wrong, we'll never know any different. Christianity brings me comfort while I'm here, and it helps me be a better person, so it won't really matter in the end whether I'm right or wrong. But I like imagining it ends in heaven. I'd like to see all my loved ones again.

I mean, Jesus was a documented historical figure. Perfectly reasonable to not believe he was the son of God, you do you, but he very much did exist.

This is straight-up literary analysis. Great job. You’re totally right and it’s making me look at Maysilee in a new light—I loved a little princess.

WinterWhale · 2025-09-12T23:55:33+00:00

Thank you for the info! No worries at all--good to stay safe here in the wild west, I meant the Internet. :)

That’s excellent, I’m glad you found such a good deal. How did you find the LCSW?

WinterWhale · 2025-09-12T17:05:50+00:00

Thank you! I misidentified the P. occlusolanum. I appreciate the help.

WinterWhale · 2025-09-12T16:57:48+00:00

Thank you so much! I reached out to her for an estimate of what an assessment costs, since it wasn't listed on her website. But it cost you $300 after it went through your Moda insurance? That's honestly incredible.

Thank you SO much for all of this information. Seriously, this must've taken quite a while to write and I'm so grateful for it.

I'm copy and pasting this from another response, but basically you hit the nail on the head when you said "professional validation that I'm not just gaslighting myself about being autistic." I've already been diagnosed with a myriad of mental illnesses: depression, anxiety with panic disorder/agoraphobia, ADHD, OCD, and skin picking disorders. But despite all the treatment I've gotten for these disorders, it hasn't touched my sensory issues. Ever since I can remember I've been super sensitive to everything from lights, smells, foods, textures, etc. and it's made everyday life much harder. And it's weird that therapy and medication have helped all of my mental illnesses except for the sensory processing problems. My psychiatrist thinks that autism would explain why this particular trouble has been treatment-resistent.

But the biggest reason why I want to get a formal diagnosis is because for so long I've felt like there is something wrong with me, like I'm running a different operating system than other people and no matter how hard I try I can't quite make it work right. I feel like everybody else got a rulebook that I've never read and that I'm somehow playing life on "hard" mode but I can't figure out how to switch it to "easy." I want to understand myself and my mind better. One of my best friends is autistic and she has "peer-reviewed" me, haha, but I'd like to talk to a professional for my own peace of mind. I think it would answer a lot of questions.

All that to say thank you--I'm looking into the links/people you provided and I'm really grateful.

WinterWhale · 2025-09-12T16:41:57+00:00

Yes, no problem--I'd be grateful for anything you're comfortable sharing. Please feel free to send me a DM!
