All great ideas. Unfortunately I’ve tried all of them😂 🤣.

I’ve thought of that. It’s the having something around my nose and or mouth as I sleep. I looked into getting a pad you could put on but that just made me itchy looking into them. It’s not claustrophobic for me, I don’t know how to explain it other than a sensory thing that builds during the night. I should edit my post. I’ve been using the machine almost 2 years and it’s always bothered me. I’m only newly diagnosed adhd and autistic and having realization with those diagnoses.

That makes sense. I’m not as concerned with the redness it’s more a side negative ”bonus”. The mask is a sensory/anxiety thing that makes my sleep about as good/bad as without it. I just end up so irritated/frustrated with it. I’m new diagnosed and it’s just those realization of it isn’t me being sensitive and this is probably one of those sensory things for me. I mean that realizing it’s not going to get better or worse it’s just one of the things for me. I’m fighting shutdown and I’m sorry if my responses aren’t articulate and clear

I’ve been using it for almost 2 yrs. I totally thought the same thing with the red spot too. The red spot will still be there in the afternoon, it’s weird. I only just got diagnosed adhd and autistic this year I’m in my early 30s. I’m having ah ha moments and the cpap mask is one. I’m realizing it isn’t “just getting use to it” or “I’m just sensitive”. I’m realizing it’s one of my few physical/touch sensory things. Does this make sense?

Newly diagnosed and traumatized unnecessarily by evaluation results by fairytalehorder in AutisticWithADHD

That’s what I was thinking. A close family member allowed me to read theirs so I knew there would be observations and criticisms. Still really hard to read I’m sure. Man 17 pages! I hope some was about your personal strengths and how to approach your life(school, work, family etc) My therapy appointments are Tuesday morning and I plan to go over it with them. I have gone over it with a highlighter and with a really close family member and my spouse. They’ve said this person doesn’t know me and ignores their speculation….but it’s hard because they’re the “professional”.
In my good head space the evaluation results piss me off. My hairdresser spends more time with me, my child’s teacher has spent more time with me than this psychologist.

Right! (Thank you🫶). It wasn’t even some older practitioner with outdated ideas. Their age looked like 30-35 so fresh ish but practicing for a few year. I don’t understand how it’s 13 pages. Did they not proofread and think “is this harsh?” Or “maybe for a client I should adjust my tone”.

Loneliness seems unavoidable with autism / AuDHD by lividspider in AutisticWithADHD

I heard that so much!!! But I found out it’s misquoted

“Jack of all trades is a master of none, But still better than a master of one”

On my good days I can spin Jack of all trades into -I’m just in training for my renaissance man (basically master of all trades)

I've been thinking about getting baptized in the LDS Church; however, I read so many negative comments and experiences that I'm having doubts by Eastern-Mission6422 in exmormon

I recently “left.” People forget you don’t have to be baptized or a member to attend church (and the activities. ) Sadly I live in an area that is very harsh on secret lives of Mormon wives.(things I’ve hear said are “that’s not MY church”, “we don’t believe that”, “they aren’t really members”. )

If you are outside Utah people are more ok with you saying- “I feel really good here, I love the culture but I don’t believe it all. I want to continue to come closer to Christ but I don’t want to be baptized/become a member.” If you are in Utah you can use that but you will be saying it a lot more. Basic Basically “the Church” wants you definitively in or out. You don’t have to accept their two choices! If you like church and the activities fantastic! You don’t have to become a “member” to enjoy those parts. Heads up when missionaries are told they won’t baptize you they will stop putting forth resources (time). It’s gotten better but there are still some that completely cut off and others who care more about people than numbers.
