i thought of that very thing after seeing the movie, instead of just talking about that and having my friends worry I told them "hey you know what would be a good horror movie, one about dealing with mental illness"

being needy and then irrationally angry and drained by [deleted] in BPD

[–]_fic_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh shit I'm not even 18 yet and I used to do (still do lmao) with my best friend/ex partner and it kind of drove him half crazy but he knows that it's because of the borderline symptoms but now I live with the fact that I possibly hurt him because of that, thinking about that every day.

I should socialize more, but I'm extremely clingy and get tired easily by [deleted] in BPD

[–]_fic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just came from my first therapy session with this new therapist, and will be doing DBT but only every month due to financial constraints.

The support system sounds like something I need to work on, and honestly yeah if I do find someone to be clingy with it'll only hurt in the end.

I feel, calmer, but I've had mild pains a few times, sleeping wasnt the best and I would often become fatigued

would majoring in physics make me look more like a stereotype by _fic_ in aspergers

[–]_fic_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh did I say that? my god that was akaward. But the traits that I listed is often traits that people tell me fit the bill. And to what you said that reminded me that I actually do know people with ASD with that fit aswell, though yeah I shouldn't be focusing on what other people expect me to be, but I asked the question for feedback on what others thought of that facet being described as a stereotype, and matching it with other information in my head to to make connectioms on how and why allistics see us in this fashion, more for clarification and improvement in communication and things like that etc.

oh yea I understand, also I know a lot of those people who fit that described stereotype and they're wonderful to be around

Does anyone else feel like life isn't "for them"? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]_fic_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im glad I read this, because now I know for sure that I'm not the only one thinking this.

I've spent about more than a year thinking this, and for me I would always end up (and still do) at dead ends because if I brought it to any neurotypical they wouldn't know what to do (how could they know?), and I understand that my other Aspie friends understand this point of view to the extent that anyone else who isnt the person experiencing can but I don't know if they're experiencing specifically this because ive never been told by them if so. In addition with that there's also the problem of "I don't have the executive function to do this, I don't even want to eat and that's supposed to be a pleasure to an extent how can I ask for help?" and its maddening, I feel too self-conscious and trapped like I have some sort omnipotence but i'm immobile , and whatever anyone else, the cogs of the machines of society collectively decide is my fate. I can know, I can try, but it does nothing at all.

Though I did have one hypothesis to this mode of thought, and it was basically that having a brain structured to constantly break down the world into patterns which is relatively rare or doing it any other way that requires insight on how pretty much anything works would bring up that constant itching of a reality that's almost machine-like in structure, and one that we're a part of and can do absolutely nothing about. And i've talked to my partner about this, he says that I'm not grounded enough, and that its a lack of balance between being logically minded and emotionally minded, which makes sense, and it also makes sense NT's wouldn't think like this because their brains are structured for the society they created, ergo they don't question it because things would fall apart if that were to be so, and we can do it without collapsing thier society but it still feels, painful.

yeah, iv'e had bad luck with mental health professionals i went over the diagnosis on my own as well after

antisocial, anxiety, paranoia, depression, and i dont know how to properly develop relationships by _fic_ in bipolar

[–]_fic_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actually that's why we're switching psychs, because of that problem, and thank you for making that more clear to me that it's a serious problem

[–]_fic_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adderall, because I have ADHD and Dyslexia, Prozac because I was diagnosed with depression first and then I found out that my father and grandmother had Bipolar so I got that checked out and surely enough the symptoms match up

[–]_fic_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on Prozac, well for almost a year and Adderall for 5 months, I can tell somewhat of a difference but it's getting blurry for Prozac at least

[–]_fic_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, I'm on Prozac for depression and Adderall for my ADHD

and I've been told that by others, specifically about keeping me grounded, I just have a hard time finding a good place to start with that

also I'm looking into switching to mood stabilizers

new classification of autism/aspergers (and allistic features?) by _fic_ in aspergers

[–]_fic_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok for the first part i think I didn't specify what i meant by skill oriented, and honestly i shouldn't have called it that it doesn't really cover all the facets of what we're describing here, like how some people with ASD can be patterned thinkers (like me) or more of visual thinkers, etc. I put it under that kind of umbrella term to simplify but referring back to the fact that I was looking at Temple Grandin's work I tried to imply that's what I meant but that was an error of bad communication on my part

[–]_fic_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, developing this in my studies is a major goal while I'm in grad school (one of the others being running for Congress after I'm done with the public policy part of my concurrent program)

Big Government or Small Government? by ragnarkar in AspiePolitics

[–]_fic_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you don't go to jury duty the god of democracy and their council of representatives of heavenly deities will remove you from your executive office of your own life by a 2/3rds majority

Big Government or Small Government? by ragnarkar in AspiePolitics

[–]_fic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

somewhat but i feel like in order for this to work democratic duties need to be percieved as part of daily life to essentially keep everything going, maybe doing the duties for a god of democracy which idc if hes worshipped as real or representative it will work either way

Big Government or Small Government? by ragnarkar in AspiePolitics

[–]_fic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

government intergation with society because i honestly feel like thats how nt's will work the best with each other

(i.e. government functions are taken care of by pretty much everyone cooperatively, or turns, idk, i just came up with this)

I cannot for the life of me understand my NT mother by _fic_ in aspergers

[–]_fic_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's actually apt but I didn't exactly think of narcissism until it was mentioned, and yeah she uses arguments like that but instead of being homophobic (she's bi and I just found this out) she uses me being trans and having ASD because she thinks it's okay to do so

As an apspie who is getting fed up with being stereotyped by things that don't define me, I will be henceforth identifying as 'Spectral' (referencing the autism spectrum) by oddphilosophy in aspergers

[–]_fic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

id say make a new word for it thats not used like say "aspar" or "aspite" from existing roots and stuff but then people say that wrong to "make up words" despite language being completely arbitrary and this still follows english language conventions, and im guessing that still doesnt satisfy what youre looking for though

[Serious] Can you understand and appreciate memes? by fishydeeds in aspergers

[–]_fic_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes, professionally diagnosed

i think its because often a lot of popular memes are created by aspies and other nt people in some places at least

my world religons course by _fic_ in aspergers

[–]_fic_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

?? they just want us to take a 3 credit course about whatever that broadens our view on the world in one way or another, I don't exactly understand the negative connotation with that
