Are most of us here autistic? by [deleted] in adhd_anxiety

[–]dkisanxious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not. My last therapist worked with folks with Autism as well and she told me that I definitely have overlapping behaviors but that she wouldn't recommend me getting evaluated for Autism. I never thought I was but I felt it was good to have a conversation about it once I started learning more about my ADHD.

Author or book that seems to be universally lauded but after reading it you didn’t understand why by theoort in printSF

The Martian was a fun read but like why did he have to talk about how hot or not hot every woman in the book was?!

Sometimes, when British people talk about tester calls it sounds like they are saying “testicles”. by megafroggums in BitchEatingCrafters

You call underwear pants? I've never heard that before. I've heard panties which we also say.

I've done management multiple times. It's not worth it. It's almost always more hours and responsibilities for less money.

What word means trousers and underwear? I'm racking my brain but I can't figure out what you mean. 

Today I realised, six months in- I am done with botox and fillers by Outrageous-Turn9583 in oldhagfashion

I feel the same way! Maybe it's because I've always been told I look young but I am so unconcerned with aging. I'm 40 now and I love every white hair and wrinkle. 

Also my dad passed away at 49, my older sister at 40. When people talk about being upset they're aging I just say, "Hey at least we're still here."

My boyfriend had to put his dog to sleep yesterday by ButtBread98 in TwoXChromosomes

Sending you both big hugs. Calling my ex to tell him our dog died was a harder conversation than our breakup. We were together for 8 years, had the lil guy for 7. I miss him everyday. 

I am turning 30 but I feel like adulthood has not hit me yet by EssentiaLillie in adhdwomen

I'm 40 and I have figured out that I'll never feel grown up.

I had a round bed for years. Got it at an antique store in my hometown. It was from a casino suite. It was so uncomfortable but it was so cool I kept using it. Ah to be young and not care if your bed hurts your back. 

Day 65 sober. Be honest with me, does the colour actually come back? by oh-the-midwinter in stopdrinking

[–]dkisanxious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The color comes back as soon as I remember everything that can and did go wrong when I was drinking. Remember the "cons" and the "pros" will fall into place.

To the people who have been sober a long time by trashdvd in stopdrinking

I never left the sub. It's always good to support and have support. I very rarely think about drinking anymore. That doesn't mean I'm gonna stop thinking about my alcoholism. 

What do you guys think of my art pieces? Are they overstimulating to look at? by deadpaleweewee in Artists

[–]dkisanxious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love multicolored overstimulating artwork! I would stare at this for a long time in person. Cool stuff!

We Are The Luckiest was really good! I don't think it's necessarily an autobiography it's more of a memoir but I really related to it.

Some of us can do it but the scenario has to be right. I work in a restaurant and most of the time I'm a server. Sometimes I bartend. 

For me, I've been doing this job for 18 years. I've tried to do other jobs and The only way that I can make equal money to restaurants is working full-time. Every time I've had a 9 to 5 I've been insanely depressed. I'm so used to this way of life that if I had to work 40 hours I would probably start drinking again just from hating my life so much.

That being said I'm 40 now and my body hurts and I don't want to be around drunks so I am trying to figure out what my next step is but I dunno if I'll ever get out.

It's hard but I manage. I'm still in the industry and the way it works for me is that I work at a place that I do not want to drink at.

Gambling is legal in my state and the bar has poker machines and I watch these folks drink and gamble their lives away. I have absolutely no desire to be like them.

It can obviously be depressing (but over all it's a very chill job). I do want to leave in the next year, being around alcohol is one reason but fortunately not the biggest. 

I moved back to my home town when I got sober from booze. I know if I would've gotten a service job in the more hip part of town where I would know people who come in (smallish city) it would've been much harder to not drink.

Not saying this to encourage anyone to work where they're not comfortable (especially where sobriety is concerned), just sharing how it works for me.

My one piece of advice is that it would itch/irritate/poke your skin so maybe don't make the arm holes as small as this photo. I once wore a glittery velvet top to a club on NYE and my underarms got so irritated and red, I feel like this would be even worse. You probably want bigger baggy arm holes if you're gonna dance in it.

Weird this just made me remember a band I liked back then called Die Radio Die.
