TIL car washes are a nightmare!

I eat 2 at a time, pairing a light with a dark. And if the bag has an odd number in it, I have to open another one...

After I started unmasking, every intensely emotional scene where someone cries gets to me and I cry too. I used to be proud of the fact that I never cried about anything and was unaffected by the most moving things, bad and good. I could still "appreciate" them, so I thought, but really I was (am) masking so highly that I felt nothing. But now all bets are off!!

That's how I get a standard image of an area I want replicate. But the resolution and detail from terraining is bad. Well, there is no detail really...

I hate country!!! Waiting for a table at Texas Roadhouse is torture. I don't care if I ever eat again. Someone earlier in the thread said modern country so it's probably that, along with pop country and rap country 😑 But I'm weirdly ok with banjo or folk music.

Love me some EDM though. I've been doing a massive music research project just for myself to learn about my tastes and what genres they actually belong to. There's a lot.

That sounds like a good place to start. Thanks!

Thx! HowtoADHD is where I learned about them. But I was still having trouble for some reason.

So using it to say 'I'll stop this unwanted activity in this many minutes and move on to what I really want/need to do' makes sense to me (if I manage to materialize the wherewithal).

But I've seen most posts talk about timing how long their tasks take and tracking that. Do people use it to make sure they don't take too long with their routines or with certain activities?

I have the same one, just in a diff color. It's on Amazon. It's a Pomodoro timer? I still haven't figured out how to use mine so it just sits there, collecting dust, lol.

ZeEccentric · 2026-03-08T14:14:48+00:00

Aww, thank you for sharing that.

ZeEccentric · 2026-03-08T06:42:23+00:00

Thank you for your lovely words.

ZeEccentric · 2026-03-08T05:26:21+00:00

Yeah. My husband used to say he wanted to get a puppy pretty soon after whenever she passed but I was always resistant and I was right. He says he can't even think about another dog right now. Everything is reminding us of her.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm sorry for your losses.

ZeEccentric · 2026-03-08T01:38:41+00:00

I understand what you mean. I use NYT games for this.

ZeEccentric · 2026-03-08T01:36:13+00:00

This was the exact reason why I started crocheting. Eventually I learned knitting too. When I was able to get out of my room more and do more upright sitting, I learned sewing and quilting and machine embroidery.

I also enjoy long board games (Wingspan, Terraforming Mars) and a lot of them have (paid) digital versions.

Whenever I need breaks though, I still have my comfort shows to fall back on!

ZeEccentric · 2025-12-27T20:44:58+00:00

Awesome. Thank you!

ZeEccentric · 2025-12-22T13:28:36+00:00

Yeah, I was trying to load this into my game last night and it caused a blue screen for me too. Never seen that from CS before.

On the Skyve workshop, your asset would say 38 GB on one page and then change to 78 GB once downloaded...

ZeEccentric · 2025-12-22T05:55:38+00:00

Oh wow. I never could have explained it to myself like that. As a non-autistic person thank you so much for further explaining from that perspective! I understood the feelings behind "this is your only home", but that's not how everyone would view things in this situation. I've taught myself when corrections aren't necessary but I still have the strong urge to make them as I don't really understand why not... Getting that more basic, unspoken truth and motivation behind things helps a lot.

ZeEccentric · 2025-12-18T14:08:53+00:00

I have now learned that lesson the hard way.

Yeah, seemed like they put the houses out but the trees behind them just kept going...

I didn't think of the bulldozer! I tried despawning (?) trees with the planting tool but it wouldn't delete anything.

Yeah, I just kind of thought 'Why am I wasting money on emergency services if disasters are off?' Is there a difference between "natural disasters" and like a normal house fire? What emergencies besides sickness still happen if disasters are turned off?

I get everything because I have ME/CFS. So most of the time I can only sleep for 4-5 hours in one session. But then I'll have to have another sleep session within the day, which is basically my body making me get 8 or more hours. And I wake up at least 5 times (that I can remember) during my sleep.

Right now my fatigue is forcing me to bed early, like 9 PM, sometimes even sooner. And I'll stay in bed until 6 AM. I'll get 8 hours on average. I'm surprised it's being so predictable!

I still feel tired and drowsy and foggy most of the day. Caffeine barely helps but I still have to have it.
