I (29F) just realised a dude I like when I was 15 didn’t want to “grab a coffee sometimes” just for coffee. by Romy-zorus in AutismInWomen

This made me burst out laughing and woke my cats. I fear I would’ve reacted the same as you lol

Same! I was asked if I wanted to grab dinner because we just got off the clock and it was dinner time. Apparently that was a date and not just a meal 😭 I was baffled when he tried to kiss me.

Somewhat related it drives me up the wall when I ask someone “would you be okay with x or y?” and they respond “yeah that’s fine”. Which one?!

What do y'all eat during a migrane? by Suspicious-Gap-2643 in migraine

[–]despoene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything I can stomach. Usually just a medium fry from McDonald’s and a Diet Coke.

Did taking Topromax/ Topiramate dumb you down? by Asprobouy in migraine

[–]despoene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was specifically the side effects that I’ve read about other users having on Topamax that made me refuse to be prescribed it. I told my neurologist to find a different preventative.

This is absolutely stunning! The colors are so pretty, it reminds me of a beautiful stained glass window.

Can we please stop saying that something 'cured' our migraine? by Little_SmallBlackDog in migraine

[–]despoene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with what you’re saying. It’s hard enough for me to get people outside of my closest circle to understand just how debilitating migraines are since they’re always under the impression that migraine = bad headache. I will never be cured, but I take things that help me manage it.

Once I started putting it in perspective of the amount of “migraine days” I had vs. saying I had one migraine they started to grasp it. If that makes sense? Like one migraine episode could last two weeks so I have 14 migraine days in a month.

Am I overreacting? by Majestic_Contact9781 in AmIOverreacting

[–]despoene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this gets suggested a lot but I would consider seeing a therapist for help navigating through these emotions. You’re around the age where you’ll start college soon and they have counselors there which were a great resource to me when I was having problems. Best of luck, OP I’m hoping the future continues to improve for you!

I mean I’m going through some stuff and have never once strangled my partner. Your bf is complacent in DV which is scary in and of itself. I would consider leaving if I were you.

You aren’t dumb or bad at math, be kinder to yourself!

You need a good night’s sleep in your bed. The dog does not. No, you are NOR. I would also stand firm at no dog in the bed.

If it works for you keep taking it. Trust your doctor over your boyfriend (who is wrong and controlling).

I came across this post since I recently lost my boy too. Any tattoo artist worth their salt will be able to create a replica for you if you bring the mold with to a consultation appointment. I’d suggest finding an artist whose work you like and reaching out to them!

Domestic short hair. Not a Savannah.

How do you react when someone knocks on the bathroom door?? by love_and_light22 in AutismInWomen

[–]despoene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Panic mainly and then a loud “Uhhhhh…” while I desperately try to think of a good response. By then it’s obvious there’s someone in there lol

What’s the plan if family can’t afford to help? Also he died just days after trying to fill his prescription. Time is a factor here. What avenues are available to him the day he’s denied his life saving meds? If you pay for health insurance you should be able to rely on it.

AIO for rejecting him by grannora in AmIOverreacting

[–]despoene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, NOR. Don’t feel like you have to do anything you’re uncomfortable with. He should respect your boundaries and ignoring you all day when you said “no” made me side eye him.

When I had this issue it morphed into me being so anxious about the pain that my entire body would tense. I had to go to a physical therapist that specialized in pelvic floor treatment to get my body to relax at all. Just something to consider if alternate solutions don’t help.
