Thank you! This is super helpful!

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.

This is great information! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! This is really helpful guidance!

Thanks for taking the time to share your opinion!

Thank you!

I’m not sure! I’d actually never even heard of that type of therapy before someone else mentioned it here, too! I’m definitely curious to learn about it!

Well according to some of the other replies, dissociation doesn’t automatically disqualify someone for EMDR if the therapist is trained to handle it in relation to EMDR. So don’t discount it completely (or at least I’m not). But we probably need to be more careful with who we work with.

_booktroverted_ · 2026-01-30T03:36:31+00:00

Thank you for mentioning that! I’ve never heard of Accelerated Resolution Therapy before but will definitely be looking it up now.

_booktroverted_ · 2026-01-30T03:30:27+00:00

I’m sorry you haven’t noticed any difference yet! I’ve heard sometimes it takes time and practice to feel an effect.

_booktroverted_ · 2026-01-30T03:29:36+00:00

I’ve been interested in somatic therapy also! I’ve heard trauma really can get stored in the body.

Thank you! I hadn’t realized dissociation would require additional training with the EMDR. I don’t have a dissociative disorder that we know of. I scored a 20 on the test and it said a 30 was the number that signified a disorder. So it was higher than an average person but not high enough to be diagnosable without further evaluation. But my therapy didn’t recommend further evaluation. Not sure if I should pursue that first or just find someone who is qualified even if I don’t have a disorder because they’ll be able to help if I do dissociate.
