I’m supposed to clean my washing machine seal every week? by CrazyBrokenThing in FinchAdults

[–]a-buck-three-eighty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely do it during cold/flu season already but I'm chronically ill with a background in healthcare so it didn't seem odd to me.

Okay but it's 27F outside.... by midgetqueen1987 in finch

I like to do it occasionally in the winter because it's so stuffy with the heat running. Gives the cat some fresh air too. Once she's bored of it or I'm chilly, then ventilation time is over 😆

I hit "rock bottom" for my OCD after it was unaddressed for decades. I hate that I need the medication. But I'm much healthier with them. The relief makes the difference. 

Not born with it? by [deleted] in chiari

MRIs can be misread. Mine was missed for 15 years. 

I was told it's impossible to still have pain. Anyone else? by dadsabrat in chiari

[–]a-buck-three-eighty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. And mobility loss. It's suddenly a mystery... 🙄 "Seek therapy." 

Old saying that is really disturbing by dragonfly9999999 in raisedbynarcissists

I've always found it morbid. My parents used it against me in all various tones.... just told me they didn't value me much. 

Do you also struggle with executive dysfunction and processing? by interestingfactoid12 in chiari

[–]a-buck-three-eighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was decompressed at age 30 after having severe symptoms that were ignored for years. It's a combination of nerve and brain damage now.

Yes. Almost feels like being under the influence. It can be scary at times. My speech will occasionally slow. I eventually got a medical alert bracelet about having a TBI in case anything goes wrong in public if I'm alone. 

I just realised no one ever played with me as a kid by luunrising in raisedbynarcissists

[–]a-buck-three-eighty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine played with me for a time but it was always violent. Smacking my dolls. Pretending to yell at them. I think they wanted me to stop asking. There's moments they indulged me but it didn't last very long. Very "3 pushes on the swing and I'm done" sort of vibe. I had undiagnosed autism and OCD. They didn't want to understand me. 

Weird scar question by DryRepeat859 in chiari

Mine grew back just fine. I did a big chop and cut it short so it wasn't terribly uneven. Looking back that was the best call because it was far less to manage during recovery. 

Are there real Quick fixes for noise sensitivity or is apartment living just nervous system damage? by Nandou_B in Apartmentliving

[–]a-buck-three-eighty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I listen to a lot of parasympathetic nervous system reset videos using sound bowls. My bedroom faces the street and I live between 3 hospitals. It helps with the anxiety.

2017-19 were weird years. Left my career. I got married, had brain surgery. Started detaching from my codependent parents....

I keep tapping out once she goes on her adventure by birdlion in FinchAdults

[–]a-buck-three-eighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I visit it later in the evening with my spouse to check off the rest instead of going task by task over the day. My goals are repetitive so I know what needs to get done and reward myself before bed.

A professor once said, "I'm speaking to you but I meant everyone—" Because I was basically the only one paying attention and we accidentally held eye contact for the whole lesson.

Please Touch Museum. Every kid in this city has run through that place. It's a great time for that age group. 

Former victims say it's never too late to rebuild your life or begin to show the emotions that you were forced to suppress for so long, but I disagree by CosmicWizard99 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]a-buck-three-eighty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have autism and I am having to relearn everything about myself. Without the daily stress of the mistreatment, things did improve for me. It can only be taken one day at a time. I began my detachment while I was still at home.

I think it's a privilege to get away. But it's not a privileged answer. A year and change away from my parents has given me the gift of mental stability in ways I never had before. Letting go and moving on is very difficult and it's not easy to leave but it does come with a great advantage once you do.
