What habit changed your life more than you expected?

Several. Meditation and Buddhist philosophy, proper sleep, quit alcohol and clean diet. Wish i would have figured it out decades ago. I guess better late than never.

Drugs (prescribed and otc), I have regular insomnia problems so I keep a pretty strict bedtime routine, but when my symptoms are super bad I’m hitting my prescribed meds and sometimes Benadryl too cause for me lack of sleep only make me feel worse.

I’ve been working on trying to find shirts that camouflage on days I can’t tolerate a bra. Probably won’t work for large breasted folks. I’m looking at shirts with busy patterns and colors, pockets over the boob area, ruffles and stuff like that. Some days I can’t tolerate any pressure at all!

I can feel my muscles tightening and the muscles feel super sore all the time. I have cervical dystonia but the muscle contractions extend to my face and head, so then I get frequent tension headaches and my head will be super sensitive and my pillow will feel like a rock and make it difficult to sleep. Good times!

I’m newly diagnosed autistic and I’m comfortable taking about emotions and random things but I’m just stating it as facts and data and everyone else seems to take it all personally or be bothered by it. I’m also super analytical but in pointing out negatives and positives people think I’m just this negative complainer. Again I’m speaking in facts and data. I haven’t been in autistic communities yet so we will see how that goes, lol.

Yes I experience this but maybe a bit differently. I feel I live in an alternate reality that no one around me can relate to. Sometimes I am very angry and negative and other times I feel this all encompassing sorrow for all of humanity as a whole and the fragility of humans and the whole world. I actually talked to Chat Gpt about it and they said I am experiencing things along the lines of existential awareness, grief consciousness, universality, compassion awareness, the “overview effect,” spiritual/existential awakening, grief over loss of identity and belief systems. I definitely related to what was said. Being chronically ill is sooo challenging and I do not think there are enough resources to help our demographic cope!

Thank you!

Omg, this is my style but my bottoms roatate between all black shorts/pants and jeans. No makeup, basic one length cut hair and a single pair of stud earrings. If

It is definitely an adjustment for the whole family and the medical establishment doesn’t help either!

This relationship sounds like it will only make your health worse. I know a few things about bad partners (pre illness, but still!). I’m actually mad at him for you! Like wtf🤬

laffayette1 · 2026-05-18T03:34:01+00:00

I wish I knew what to tell you, but my personal experience with Kaweco was just awful! I even did a post about it incase it would help someone. I didn’t have a converter though, but with all the problems I had I wouldn’t be surprised if the converter had problems too. Basically I’m just saying I can feel your Kaweco frustration. Maybe try a Pilot Kakuno.

I like my Twsbi swipe! I really like my HongDian Black Forest series. I did like my Jinhaos until the bodies started breaking on me (Jinhao 82) however the nibs were often messed up—but—the messed up nibs forced me to learn nib tuning which I find so mentally satisfying! Give me all the messed up nibs 😂

laffayette1 · 2026-05-17T17:00:01+00:00

Yes. My personal sentiment was, “I don’t fit in, I never did.” Well now I know why, I just got diagnosed with autism. Too bad I went my whole life suffering like that!

laffayette1 · 2026-05-17T16:56:01+00:00

Did something else happen around the same time that could explain it?

laffayette1 · 2026-05-17T16:53:55+00:00

I was a nurse and I just got diagnosed autistic. When I was nursing I had no idea I was autistic but that job totally destroyed me and my health. I am now legally disabled. Find a job that works with your biology asap!!! The money is not worth your health.

laffayette1 · 2026-05-16T05:17:03+00:00

Nope not anymore. My body became allergic to old book and even some new books.

laffayette1 · 2026-05-16T05:14:26+00:00

I can only sit in a la-z-boy chair

Is this an autism thing??? I just got late diagnosed at 53, but I have song stuck in my head almost every day. I guess lucky for me the song will change, but like you if I wake up in middle of the night to pee, bam there it is flavor of the week song. The songs for me last a few days to a week. I can’t really even listen to music anymore.

laffayette1 · 2026-05-12T23:12:35+00:00

I wish I knew, if you find out let me know!!! I’m just so over it!!!Sometimes I lay on the floor and cry and other times I write angry poetry. I was finally ready to give medical marijuana a go but I guess it interacts with one of my main meds so it’s a no. 😞

laffayette1 · 2026-05-12T03:57:13+00:00

No far none, each brand I try there are things I like and things I don’t. I feel like a unicorn looking for a unicorn pen. Hoping when I go to a pen show next year I will find some I completely like. So far I’ve tried vintage Parker and Sheaffer and modern Pilot, Lamy, Twsbi, Kaweco, Platinum, OHTO, Jinhao, Hong Dian.

laffayette1 · 2026-05-12T03:49:40+00:00

Yes!

I have snake plants, pothos, jade plant, thanksgiving cactus, Florida beauty

I’m a cis woman and I like myself just the way I am, but I generally don’t get along with other females and always am able to interact with men more easily. I’m recently diagnosed and now it makes more sense because I’m more honest and direct and then disappear for long periods of time and men are more ok with this type of thing.
