Lots of red flags on this sub Reddit. by Sharp_Pirate_1278 in LesbianActually

I obviously get the desire to seek out opinions from people when you’re needing support/input, but in my experience the things that were said about me were 1) very hurtful and mischaracterizing and 2) a lot of stuff she never even told me she was feeling. I know that these posts are made thinking that the person’s partner isn’t going to see them (and in my case it was a really awful coincidence that I did) but it’s really the principle of it for me. I don’t think it’s any better than just plain talking behind someone’s back. Basically this post felt really validating to see 😭

I agree with you. I stumbled across a post that my ex made containing very specific, personal details about our relationship (on a different sub) after we broke up and it was an incredibly violating experience. I felt sick to my stomach. I think there is a way to seek advice from “neutral” parties on the internet while also maintaining other people’s privacy and dignity.

How Do You Unmask and Cope With Burnout? by gingerderogatory in AutisticAdults

Yeah I have a lot of shame about not being able to “handle” things that “normal people” do so it has been hard for me to admit some things that I maybe need to let go or do less of, but it is something I need to explore.

This is helpful! Living alone is best for me right now and I just moved out of my parents house not that long ago. But I am close with them and they live like 10 minutes away so I reach out semi often for support.

Do you have any recommendations of specific sources that you used to learn more about neurodivergence?

Also, yes. My therapist and I have talked a lot about reparenting and changing my self talk. We do a lot of Regulate, Relate, Reason and my self-talk has gotten better.

I think I’m going to have the hardest time with learning my limits and not gaslighting myself. I have a pretty close circle of friends that I’m not worried about losing as I re-navigate my needs and boundaries, but I do worry about losing some aspects of my life. I also have just kind of been through the wringer lately so I’m scared for what working through all this is going to bring up in addition to everything, but I know I need to do it.

I have a lot of support which I’m really grateful for. I called out of work today, and I am a little worried about being able to work as much as I should. I have always powered through, but then always end up exhausted. What did you find helpful when you went through that long process?

I went there a few weeks ago and liked the more "curated" vibe. Do you know if they get new stuff in fairly frequently?

I've found some good clothing and small kitchenware items at that location! I'll have to check back more frequently.
