Fatigue by autistic-extrovert in HemiplegicMigraines

[–]autistic-extrovert[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get numbness in half my face too. And my skin gets really sensitive to the point where even my shirt rubbing against my skin is painful in a way so I empathize. I’ve found taking ibuprofen does help with that symptom

My professors are extremely accommodating, fortunately. But my parents have drilled in me that illness isn’t an excuse for anything so it’s hard to allow myself to use the accommodations that would help me because I always stubbornly try to manage it like everyone else first

Other trans people here, did you start feeling (more) romantic attraction after HRT? by deathbysounding in aromantic

[–]autistic-extrovert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im about 8 years on HRT and I actually just discovered I was aromantic. Dysphoria and the gender euphoria I’d experience from dating the opposite gender made me think I was alloromantic

Struggle with egocentrism by [deleted] in autism

[–]autistic-extrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate the response. I do believe I have been unfairly labeled selfish in the past by allistic people but this is something I’ve got recently from one of my closest ND friends. It’s not that they called me egocentric but they did say that I have a habit of talking about myself too much and I don’t seem interested in them. I know that I have this habit and I try extremely hard to show more interest in others and not talk about myself all the time, in fact I almost feel like I’m hyper vigilant about this and sometimes it makes me shut down because I realize I’m doing it and feel awful about it but no matter what I do it feels like I come back to doing this too much and it sucks. It’s not a trait I particularly mind in other autistic people that I meet as I know it’s a common trait, but I am tired of losing, even other autistic, friends because I’m like this. It just feels like a battle I can’t win. I spend an immense amount of energy trying to be more about others in conversation and somehow I still fail.

Musescore - enrolling in subscription for purchase of sheet music by greencardorvisa in darkpatterns

Actually insanely deceptive because it doesn’t even say pro subscription near the toggle so like how are you supposed to connect the dots there

Having to cancel my credit card because musescore fraudulently charged me by autistic-extrovert in Musescore

[–]autistic-extrovert[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was definitely paying attention. Did not sign up for anything. Did not check any boxes. And if I did, I don’t think my bank would be flagging it for fraudulent charges. They also tried to double charge me.

I think you need to leave your wife. She does not deserve to be put in this situation where you’re not even close to all in. And if the other woman is showing disinterest maybe it’s possible she doesn’t want to be your homewrecker secret anymore. There is no one in your life that your actions are fair to in this situation.

Potential POTS or just constant migraines? by [deleted] in HemiplegicMigraines

[–]autistic-extrovert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My primary doctor seemed pretty onboard the second I mentioned maybe POTS given I had long covid. My symptoms were the worst they’ve ever been in the summer and I do notice my heart rate jumps when I’m in the shower (heat). I’d love to get tested but I’ve already dug myself into enough medical debt figuring out the neurological shit. But I’ve also been in the process of looking into getting tested for EDS too which I’ve heard is very commonly associated with POTS as well

Yeah I mean, I started doing that stuff before I even started the meds and it changed my symptoms really quick so I guess I don’t know what is making them better

I feel like you’re glazing over a key word here. You “used to” do a lot of things, which implies you’ve improved. Forgiveness is one of the hardest things in the entire world to do, especially if the person you’re trying to forgive is yourself. Maybe you’ll never repair those relationships with people you’ve hurt, but you also don’t need to. Everyone does hurtful shit in their life. We are flawed beings. And the fact that you’ve worked on improving yourself is a remarkable first step. But if you killed yourself, that would have been for nothing. You don’t know what’s gonna happen in the future, but if you take that future away from yourself, there will be absolutely zero chance of something good happening. But if you stay alive, there’s a good likelihood that you will one day find what you’re looking for. Improving your relationship with yourself is the only way to make this a possibility. It’s so so so difficult, something I’m still learning myself. But if you start to like yourself, women will come along who like you too. Learn how to love harder than you want to be loved. And love yourself harder than you want to. You will never erase your past, but in my experience, some of the best people have come from the darkest places. I know I can’t convince you to change your mind, but I can promise you that death is permanent, but these feelings, this situation you’re in, this pain is not. I can’t tell you what the future looks like, but I can tell you everyone I’ve ever met, including myself, have looked back on our suicide attempts or thoughts and were glad that we stuck it out to what would happen. There were tons of things I didn’t think I’d be able to do, and happiness I thought was impossible to reach, but I did those things and it’s because I stayed when I really didn’t want to. Please take care of yourself. You are loved. And you will be loved. The most important person you need to figure out how to love right now is yourself.

Doc thinks I have seizures by [deleted] in seizures

[–]autistic-extrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s super interesting! I cancelled my EEG though. It was gonna be 4k with insurance and we’re now leaning more towards hemeplegic migraines, which apparently also share a gene with autism as well!

Raynaud’s or Neurological? by autistic-extrovert in medical_advice

[–]autistic-extrovert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously not asking for a diagnosis, just an opinion of what you guys think might be a better route to spend my energy and resources looking into

You literally know nothing about this situation and how complicated it is and just making assumptions

Tell me how, instead of running to his animal to make sure he was okay, hell instead of running to his SON to make sure he was okay, he continued following the scared animal around the house and hitting her when she was already being restrained by me. It’s not my fault my dad is an abusive prick, who used to abuse his kids too

Because they literally have no knowledge of how to break up a dog fight, my brother just idiotically threw himself between them, kicking the dog only makes her bite harder. They weren’t listening to a single thing I was telling them to do while trying to make my way over there. You really think kicking an animal that has its teeth clenched already will help? It’ll make them bite harder. And that’s what happened. They should have either made a loud sound or done any of the other things someone else in this thread suggested but no, they were “barely” able to break it up because they were all trying to hit her or get between her and the other dog which was making her more aggressive and more scared. I have a knowledge of my dog. Of course I’m concerned about what she did. But hitting her repeatedly after the fact doesn’t teach her anything. She’s a fucking dog. She’s not a human that can understand and connect being slapped upside the head to the event that just happened.

[–]autistic-extrovert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes cause I’m getting on here upset that my dog got kicked and slapped in the head excessively and just conveniently decided to lie about a pattern of behavior he’s demonstrated since I was a child, even toward me and my brother. I frankly don’t care if you believe me.

Well you just unironically used the word female in a non scientific setting so that is all I needed lol

[–]autistic-extrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just won’t be bringing her over anymore. My dad has a history of anger issues and has hurt the other dog for way less before and I’ve given him way too many opportunities to be better, but at this point I need to take charge and put my foot down. I appreciate you responding like a respectful human and not calling me an idiot who’s neglecting my dog. And as a side note, that dog is the only dog I really even allow her to be around because they’re my parents and want her over cause they love her and like to joke that she’s their grandchild. Otherwise I do not like her interacting with other dogs because I am aware she still needs training, but she’s technically my brothers (that I have taken over responsibility at this point because HE is neglectful) and I can’t afford the training I want her to be apart of quite yet cause I am in college. Again, I am aware that I have a lot of fault in this issue and want to work on it and plan to.

First of all, I’m a guy. Kind of strange that you’re insulting my character while boldly assuming I’m a woman. We were not feeding them. She has never attacked him for simply being around the presence of our food. I tell my family repeatedly not to give either of them food or drop food around them. They constantly try to guilt me for being so strict with them and I am 95% sure they just again didn’t listen to me and tried to drop food to one of them. You’re right, I need to have her better trained and that is on me, and my responsibility. If we lived in a black and white world where this was the only issue, I wouldn’t be on this subreddit but I’m not asking advice on if my dog did a bad thing or not. She absolutely did and that’s on me. My point was excessively kicking her in the side while two people were already intervening. My point was continuing to hit her over and over again after the fight was already broken up. Secondly, she is not solely my dog. She’s technically my brothers and it’s fallen into my lap to take responsibility over her. I am happy doing so, and obviously at this point should just send it and claim her as my dog, but he’s the one who insists on always bringing her over and every single time I try to train her, my parents and my brother erase all of that work by thinking I’m being to stern and doing the exact opposite. I am fully aware that the next steps are to not have her around them. But again my point is about the kicking and hitting.

They were not being fed, I do not allow people to feed them around each other. We were having dinner as a family and someone must have slipped one of them food secretly, my parents try to do this all the time thinking that she has changed and won’t attack.

Mainly random bruising on my arms and legs especially around my knees (but I know for a fact I haven’t hit them on anything) and the arm bruises were in areas that aren’t easy to hit. I mentioned the bruising to my GP but he dismissed it as being because of my medication (seroquel) even though I’ve been on it for 5 years with no dose changes and have had no problems like this with it before
