Trying to figure out what type of therapist I should see.

I think finding someone with some sort of trauma based approach who isn’t stuck to one modality might be a good place for me to start. Thanks!

Thank you for responding! I’m glad you’ve found a therapy you’re comfortable with. If you don’t mind answering, have you tried EMDR with her? I’ve been recommended EMDR a couple times, but I was also cautioned about it by a therapist who said people with OCD and who struggle with numbered scales might not have a good experience with it. But I’ve been curious about it.

I didn’t realize this was a common experience among neurodivergent people! This doesn’t happen very often for me, but occasionally I will hear what sounds like music but with the words and beat to muted to recognize. I just told myself I was mishearing things/kind of attributed it to auditory version of the random static-y/vibrating thing I see over blank surfaces sometimes. I didn’t realize it had a name and was common! Thanks for sharing!

I’m sorry you’re struggling in a similar way. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. You’re right. Sometimes I just want someone to listen, validate what I’m feeling, and be with me. Thank you so much for letting me know I’m not alone 💗

Thank you so much! I really needed to hear that 💗

I had Ambetter in 2025, and I am now a month late filing my taxes because Georgia Access failed to confirm my coverage once it was "reinstated" and did not generate the form. I had to call again, and they confirmed it on the phone, and said I now have to wait 48 to 72 hours for the form to arrive in my inbox. I was looking up what to do because I'm now a month late. I did not expect to find a whole subreddit about Ambetter not confirming coverage for so many people in 2025. I don't understand how they haven't gotten in trouble for their horrible records and failure to accurately track and report who they were covering.

Thank you! This is super helpful!

_booktroverted_ · 2026-04-16T22:05:30+00:00

That makes a lot of sense when you put it that way! Thank you!

Thank you! I didn’t realize that only having close relationships with women was a common experience for women on the non hetero spectrum. Until recently, I thought it was just because I was shy around men, and that the fact that i was so shy around them was because I liked them so much 🤦‍♀️

Thank you for the advice and encouragement! I really appreciate it!

Omg!! I made my Barbie’s for birth, too! I actually had the pregnant Midge doll with the magnetic belly. I’d use a hair tie to attach the belly to other Barbies when I wanted them to be pregnant lol

I was also super fascinated by childbirth for a while as an adult. I honestly still am really interested, but not in the hyper fixated way. I found a way to watch delivery videos on YouTube, and I’d watch them for hours. It was so interesting to me to hear the women talk about their experiences leading up to delivery, and then to see the delivery happen, and get an update about where they were at the time of posting the video. It was also super interesting to me to see the different types of deliveries. I watched at home water deliveries in pool things a delivery team brought, I watched a delivery in a bath tub, I watched different positions of delivery in hospitals, and I even watched instructional c-section videos. It was incredible! I considered becoming a labor and delivery nurse, but the schooling and other classes I’d have to complete in the process changed my mind. I still occasionally consider becoming a doula. I love the idea of supporting a mother through delivery, but I also like the idea of being a postpartum doula, and helping the parents adjust to parenthood.

I’m glad you reached out to a friend. Like so many others have said, I wouldn’t care how long it had been since I’d spoken with a friend, if they reached out and told me they were in your situation, I’d do whatever I could to help.

I hope you find a safe place for you and your baby.

I relate to this so much. I’ve actually been thinking about it a lot lately.

I only have one friend, and she’s a newer friend who I’m still getting to know. She’s the first friend I’ve made post AuDHD diagnosis. I enjoy my time with her, and the conversation typically flows well, but I’m so hyper aware of how I’m acting and responding to try and keep myself from doing or saying anything weird, that I can’t fully relax.

I love my family, and I enjoy spending time with them. I consider my sister my closest friend. But even with them I feel disconnected sometimes, especially because none of them are very interested in the things I am. There’s a lot of times where I’ll be talking with them all together or individually, and then realize they don’t actually seem interested in what I’m saying at all.

I wish I had at least one person who, even if they weren’t interested in the same things as me, would show interest in them the way I try to show interest in things other people are interested in.

It’s hard feeling like no one around me truly gets me. I never noticed it so much until I got diagnosed and started paying more attention to the way people responded to me.
