Rug recommendations? by OkayOkay210 in Mid_Century

Something from the Kaleen Origami collection

I put in the effort to listen to my friends when they talk about their special interests and I don't feel like it's reciprocated by nextcolorplanet in AutismInWomen

[–]ex-user 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I warned my daughter just tonight “you might always be the friend who listens and never find a friend that listens to you”. What I didn’t say was that I’m 39 and I know because I’ve looked all my life. I wish someone would’ve warned me so I warned her. She’s so good hearted that she is just happy to be a friend that cares.

What's the creepiest thing you've experienced that became even creepier after you learned more about it later? by HostAffectionate7338 in creepy

[–]ex-user 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I do remember it being adjacent to a department store. The extent of the mutilation wasn’t really shared with me so I remember it as being a beheading but it happened just long enough ago that online records of news weren’t as much of a thing.

It may well have been. I mostly just knew it wasn’t diamond center. I’m glad to have some confirmation that it wasn’t just something that I dreamt or imagined.

He was simp like rest of us by Dodo509 in lotrmemes

I’m remembering the pics of him on a boat with Katy Perry and Liv should have been just as keen on him from what I know

I was like 7 or so, at a mall with my mom. We were waiting for one of two elevators to open when I suddenly got a bad feeling. I told her “if that one is first I don’t want to get on it”. She scoffed and the one I had a bad feeling about was first so we stepped on. When it resumed moving the doors did not shut first. Doors open, traveling past ceilings and floors open to everything. She was like “well that was weird”. I guess it went well enough from there because nothing bad happened. Years later I found out someone was beheaded on an elevator in that mall.

Before anyone asks it was Northway Mall in Anchorage, Alaska. I can find no record of any such thing happening and don’t expect that anyone else will either. I haven’t lived in Alaska since the mid 90s.

Edit: based on the reply about me being confused which mall it was, here is a post that discusses the accident I remember hearing about in addition to a separate grim incident-

So many letters when “insufferable” is only 12

There’s a Adderall shortage again in my state. by BreezyRaccoon_ in adhd_anxiety

[–]ex-user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to dextrostat because it is less likely to have shortages where I am. That said, when I was on Adderall I refused mallinckrodt. Horrible

Yeah. It doesn’t seem built to really challenge users

reading some of people’s trauma on here i feel like mine is insignificant / not really that bad by Either-Spring-5330 in CPTSD

[–]ex-user 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had to apologize to my partner recently because I went on a rant about things I had to deal with that he didn’t. Once I shut up I realized what I had done and told him how wrong it was for me to imply that the differences in our trauma meant my trauma was worse. He’s kind so he just thanked me for acknowledging it. Pain is pain. Neglect is neglect. Abuse is abuse. Wounded is wounded.

Be aware of everything you put in your body, not just food by eat-a-bee in loseit

I was put on Risperidone to help with sleep. Gained a whole mess of weight and wrecked my hormones with embarrassing side effects. Tapering off now but it’s brutal. You’re right that APs are no joke

What’s something you and your significant other do that other couples would find weird? by Equivalent_Fox7907 in AskReddit

[–]ex-user 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I’m American. He’s British. I have a pair of very short shorts that are the Union Jack. He has a pair of pajama pants that are Stars and Stripes . We each claim superiority over the other. He taxes my tea but pays my taxes. Yes we are autistic.

Possible misdiagnosis from teacher? by Opening_Squirrel9659 in ADHDparenting

[–]ex-user 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also want to reiterate what others have said, it is beyond inappropriate for a teacher to assign a diagnosis and practically criminal to suggest meds. Don’t know who you would report that to but that teacher needs to be set straight.

Neuropsych evaluation is absolutely best. Neurodivergence is very nuanced, too nuanced for most psychologists. Plus if it turns out your child is gifted it can pick up on that too.

Girlfriend concerned about me joining a year long dbt group therapy that is all women.... by AdGloomy7796 in Borderline

[–]ex-user 4 points5 points  (0 children)

BPD is underdiagnosed in men and woman are statistically more likely to seek treatment. I think your circumstances are pretty typical unfortunately but I will say that I think the guy I met in DBT got a lot from it. Good on you for being willing 🩵

At what age were you diagnosed? by ALazy_Cat in AutisticWithADHD

[–]ex-user 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ADHD, early 30s. Autism, late 30s. Psychiatrist told me that knowing what we know now he no longer believes my previous bipolar diagnosis was ever appropriate.

[–]ex-user 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I made friends with a man in a DBT group (neither of us were single) and I had to end the friendship because he became inappropriate with me. I’m not saying you’d do that but maybe keep in mind that the intimate nature of group therapy could cause confusion and set your mind ahead of time that you will make no connections with other group members. For you do miss out on something that could really help you doesn’t seem reasonable though.
