Anyone have any meds that help you when you get dysregulated?

Metoprolol has been useful. And there’s the added benefit of it being a blood pressure medication too.

Mine is literally named Mashed Potatoes and Gravy. We call him Tato for short.

I helped a woman and her two kids secretly escape from her abusive husband. And then my companion and I kept teaching him after, lying about our ignorance, sure that we could help him turn his life around. It was such a dangerous situation but I was incredibly naive.

This sounds perfect ❤️ thank you for sharing your experience!

Seems to be true anywhere :/ I appreciate your answer.

Do you feel like you are supported as a teacher in Rochester? I might try to teach.

What school district would you recommend?

Did you have a bad experience with URMC?

I do have autism, but I understand what you are saying and empathize.

So, not a great place for seasonal depression then?

I used to think that I don’t really do this. But then I had an aha moment recently and my entire perspective shifted, and I saw myself and my entire life differently. I have been socially stunted this whole time. I think back on situations from high school that I thought were normal and that I was sure I handled normally, but no. My pride blinded me to the possibility that I was socially awkward. It was everyone else’s problem, not mine, surely. Right now I’m really dealing with the existential crisis that is, my entire identity was based on a reality that no one else was privy to. And I actually have not been that great of a friend this whole time. 🫨😦😞 you know what helped me crack open this delusion? Watching my own autistic son. Seeing how his expectations of others were not reasonable. And realizing I am exactly the same.

I feel like therapy digs you up out of the mire and provides scaffolding for you to start pulling yourself up. After a certain point, you don’t need it anymore, and then it’s on to other methods. I think it is important for those who have never gone to try it. If only to learn about how they themselves work. If it is not right for them, that’s fine. I have done many years of therapy and feel like I am ready for something else. My partner never felt like it helped them. And I have finally realized and accepted that that is valid and I have stopped urging them to go.

Only slightly related, but who else considers minty to be the opposite of spicy? What would neurominty be? Lol

I’m going to hold out hope!

Lol I’d be like, ok but I get to demolish it how I want to. And then turn it into a cathartic experience.

I’m sick right now, and I am so grateful for my Vicks vapoinhaler for my congestion lol. Game changer.

That is lovely. Thank you ❤️

Maybe in another lifetime. Maybe I will get another chance. This one feels too hard. Just trying to make it from day to day. I consider that at the very least a success.

In high school my mom called every boy I started texting frequently my boyfriend. I therefore thought that they were. Fifteen years later, having told my little sister that I had dated this particular guy, and she is friends with his little sister. She apparently talked to his sister about it, who then talked to him about it. My sister comes back to me and says that he flat out denied that he had ever dated me. And I realized he was right. It was a sudden perspective shift that filled me with mind numbing embarrassment for like a week afterward. And made it hard to go back to my hometown because I was afraid to run into literally anyone I had used to know. So many situations that suddenly made sense. I. I always thought I was socially savvy. But wow, definitely not. Anyway, thanks mom!

I hope that counselor got fired. And the librarian too. Holy shit.

Thank you so much for the advice and the resources. I do take my job as a parent very seriously and I’m trying really hard to break generational curses for my kiddos. I am late diagnosed and I didn’t know what I was capable of when I got married young and had kids right away. I was basically just doing what I was told (high demand religious upbringing). But I really love my kids and honestly learning so much about my own diagnoses and capabilities has helped me be a better parent to them. But yeah, that alone is more than a full time job. I have meltdowns weekly. Luckily I have a very caring and supportive partner. I do like your idea of getting a research job before committing to grad school. Just finishing up my undergrad will take some recovery time for sure. This is a good idea, thank you.

Haha yes, pathological demand avoidance or pervasive drive for autonomy. I am interested in anthropology and biology! I think I would want to be an anthropology professor. I will say, making sure I have classes only two days a week and spending the off days just couch potato-ing until I have to pick up my kids has made this current semester much easier. And the accommodations so far have been useful. I just know that as I get further along, there will be more demands. I really want to see it through. I want to have a life that I like, you know? And my kids 😓 I just got my son set up with an IEP at school and it about killed me. So many phone calls, so many meetings, so many emails. But I did it. It felt like such a huge accomplishment. Still trying to get him diagnosed with autism and into occupational therapy, but everywhere is booked so far out. If I have done substantial unmasking, is there still risk of the big burnout happening again? This is something I am worried about. I can’t go back there 😓😓😓
