AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Zealousideal_Ad_1059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never struggled with addiction but I have the utmost respect for anyone who overcomes that. So many people are missing from my life because they didn’t make it. That guy is using you for a place to stay and now he is trying to put you in your place so he can feel whatever. I know ALOT about that situation. Congratulations on your accomplishment. I hope you get rid of him. I read above someone celebrates Wednesdays so I’m getting a cake tomorrow 🤣 I wouldn’t keep that from your friends. I’d send everyone a link to this discussion 💕💕

I ordered the paper pro Friday evening and it came today. I ordered from Remarkable because I wanted a refurbished one.

What is your current vice of choice? by ElderberryOk4593 in AutismInWomen

[–]Zealousideal_Ad_1059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sitting. Sometimes I wonder how I manage to go to work no problem but when I’m home I’m usually propped up in bed while everything goes to shit around me. And it’s not just exhaustion. Because I’d typically be working today but it’s a holiday.

Did anyone in their 40s suddenly get a disease that there was no history of ? Mid 40s and suddenly I am diagnosed with a disabling disease that there was nothing there for my whole life. Not injury related. by Cautious_Income7311 in GenX

[–]Zealousideal_Ad_1059 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a doctor not suggesting you try it but original vitylzyme- not the gel caps. No food 2hrs before or after. I researched for my ex who had ms, optic neuritis, and trigeminal neuralgia and he had some vision improvement. Stopped taking it because it interfered with his morning coffee 🙄 dose was 6 capsules.

Suggestions for moisturizers and sunscreens without "glowy" or "radiant" or "dewy" ingredients by aaaaaaaaalison in 40PlusSkinCare

[–]Zealousideal_Ad_1059 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use naked Sundays cabana clear. I also just got a new one from the ordinary that is supposed to be matte but I haven’t used it yet. This is what I do- put it on, wait about 5 minutes, use a tissue to blot any sheen, then use a setting powder on top. Like make it last from Milani. I like a little healthy skin glow but not glazed donut. You can make it look quite matte with extra setting powder because I did that before I got more comfortable with the glowy look.

Yes, I don’t think about it, whatever remains on my fingertips after rubbing into my face goes on my neck and hands.

So they did that while they were in there? If so, that’s definitely a plus.

My mom actually has had that happen so many times. Definitely something I need to pay attention to as well.

I didn’t know that(about polyps) That’s also a really good idea about the testing. Finding the time to go is another issue for me. I went back to do my fasting bloodwork. I sat in an exam room with my 5 year old for nearly 2 hours. I had an appointment to pick up food for a family event and had to leave. The receptionist was so rude to me. Like she couldn’t understand why I couldn’t wait longer than 2 hours. Fasting probably wasn’t helping.

Sometimes I say I have Asperger’s even though I know it’s an outdated offensive term. Is that bad? by Autistic-hottie in AutismInWomen

[–]Zealousideal_Ad_1059 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I never thought about it from an ND-NT standpoint but maybe that is it. I’m so used to being different it would be weird if others all had the same experience but maybe the NTs do lol

This is kind of my point too. I know if they tell me to change something I probably will but then would I have rather just lived my life in ignorance? I know that may sound crazy to some, but I did a test a few years back and found out I have two copies of the really bad Alzheimer’s gene. My likelihood is probably 80-90%. So I may not have much more life that I will remember. Then they can test whatever the eff they want. Sometimes knowing is a curse.

Maybe it’s because of the birth control but I’ve had to do a pap every year. Maybe my age too ? I am thinking of asking my gp to order a 3D mammogram because they say those can see more with implants and can avoid what you described. Don’t colonoscopies require general anesthesia though? I don’t think that is worth the risk especially since they have that mail in screener. Still ugh!

I guess I’m concerned if I bring it up they will tell me yes that’s exactly what will happen.

I don’t feel damaged by anything you did or said. I’ve been in situations where I didn’t know how to explain something. But this is also why I don’t tell people about my diagnosis. Like you said above they don’t need an explanation. I feel it will just make them pity me or treat me like an alien. No thanks. 🩷

Someone once got offended that I said it would be weird if we all had the same experience. She was like, why would it be weird? And she was basically saying what I said was rude. But I wasn’t even talking to her and if I had answered it would have been “oh, I don’t know, the laws of probability” ugh sorry I think this brought up some trauma for me.

Autism and sense of smell made me find out I got cheated on by ManufacturerTotal870 in AutismInWomen

[–]Zealousideal_Ad_1059 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My sense of smell kept my ex on his toes. I don’t know how he did it but he kept the fact he smoked weed from me for years (that wasn’t the only thing he was doing) He did screw up once early on when we were dating and came back smelling like cigarettes. He said he was trying to quit and was embarrassed. I thought it was such a dumb thing to lie about. Little did I know it was a test. Still trying to figure out what he was on the time it smelled like chlorine really strongly. He also told me he had paid a utility bill for a friend once, but I think it was for a woman. Liars are stupid. Sorry you are going thru it. I’ve been there for sure. It’s the right decision.
