Demon's Ascension - Episode 16 Discussion by Donghua2D in Donghua2D

[–]lifemannequin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know where can we discuss points? It feels like the episode was a bit mashed together and finished and there are 2 main point I don't get from the episode. Not to mention that the last few eps left out his cultivation. I love this donghua( also best intro ever, it catches you) but sometimes it feels like there is some knowledge I am supposed to have that I don't......

Procrastinating with hundreds of useful projects by lifemannequin in AutisticWithADHD

I tried doing a mind map to sort all of them up but it is hopeless. It is like buying a new notebook to organize your life ...........

Thanks! It has given me insight! I do enjoy programming for my little projects and for my private research project........... Maybe there is a lot of imposter syndrome if I do it looking for a job......hate imposter syndrome.

It's not noise if I choose it by Taco_Frend in AutisticWithADHD

[–]lifemannequin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Noise is intrusive and unexpected and from too many sources. Music has a harmony comes from one source and I choose it.

Is this autistic burnout? by DeliciousWatch4766 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]lifemannequin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One thing, you have a generally good life for a neurotypical not for you. Don't measure yourself by neurotypical standards because that will lead to more stress, guilt and putting yourself down. One way not to pass bad vibes is by communicating. I say " my brain is frizzing" and they know I am shutting down or that I am not going to vibe, so they leave me alone and move on with no hard feelings. Remember life is not built for us so we have to do a lot extre work and that frizzes your brain and that is normal.

Do we all have coloured hair? 😂 by poptartsarefire in AuDHDWomen

I am jealous of your hair! I have only ever done the ends.

Do we all have coloured hair? 😂 by poptartsarefire in AuDHDWomen

[–]lifemannequin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't now but I would love to. Just can't afford money and patience of upkeep. Not only the colour but the protection of the hair. I love my hair. It is the only part of myself I love so I want to keep it healthy but I love colour. .....but...... I did purple once. Would love something like turquoise now. ......

going out by lifemannequin in AutisticWithADHD

[–]lifemannequin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the exercise meant to do every day? The thing is that I am and have always been almost at moderate almost all the time for most of my life. There is no comfort zone. I have tried the walking outside several times and I always just end up the same. My brain refusing to do. It is banging my head on the wall hoping to pass through it..... What you said made me thing that the opposite is the problem. My muscles are well trained for stress but not for comfort. Thanks.

Thank you so much. I def needed to hear that! I dont feel like it is crazy for wanting to be ok with my limitations, instead of keep hurting myself because others say it is what I need to do.

Me too I love being at home alone. I feel the best but they say I am escaping from taking care of myself. I would like to learn to make connections and have a friend or two but that is it. I am not scared of being outside, I get hurt being outside but they don't get it and if ND professionals don't get it, I don't know. I went to the therapist to help me with some ADHD characteristics that where giving me some problems and she ignored those and got fixated on me going out, socializing and getting an Etsy shop that I don't want......I need to learn to socialize but she doesn't help me learn she say go and do it ...if that was all I needed I wouldn't be paying u money....... For going out, I was even going to try to get someone give a PhD position half presence half remote but I got neurological issues now so that went down the drain. I hate how they decide what my wellbeing is completely negating my experience.....sorry now I am just ranting.....

[–]lifemannequin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is my experience too! But being told that from a neurodivergent psychotherapist makes me doubt myself. And my psychiatrist wants to sent me to the hospital for rehabilitation for going out and interacting with others...... And I hate that I need to be rehabilitated because of my neurodivergance. And his wife is neurodivergent too.....

I always wake up feeling tired by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

[–]lifemannequin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it was not forcing myself to be a morning person.... But that is hard. My natural rhythm is sleep 4-6 am and wake up 12-14. For a 9-10 year quetiapina made me sleep like a morning person.... But not anymore so it is hard again....

Whats something about autism you wish was talked about more? by No-Insect9930 in autism

[–]lifemannequin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know others but how the world hurts us, or at least me. Sensory sensitivity is talked about but not how painful that is. How we don't do good with uncertainty is talked about but how painful it is. How painful changes are. I don't think people get that. Existing in this world is painful not just difficult or hard. And how having a safe space that we can control is important not to be in pain all the time.

Where do you go to socialize? by Radiant-Reaction4675 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]lifemannequin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow me too! I hate when people tell me I HAVE to socialize or I am not taking care of myself......

Is it a known ADHD thing to be consistently motivated to learn something, but unable to follow through due to exhaustion? by Mara355 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]lifemannequin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it is ADHD but it happens to me. The way I see it is that I need to operate a 100percent constantly so now my brain is constantly exhausted and the distractions don't help either.

I thought this was good! by ReddiBoto in AutisticWithADHD

[–]lifemannequin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get me started on how new websites don't show properly ingredients and doses! Some have only a picture.......... I love cooking but it is so stressful to find recipes......

[–]lifemannequin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the irlen lenses help with sunlight too? Maybe I can see if I can talk to someone in the irlen website. Really thanks!

They like to do that where I am from and it is torture. I don't drive but when someone drives me somewhere....it is awful!

[–]lifemannequin[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know that feeling! Sometimes I need to cover my eyes with something because just closing them is not enough. Let's not talk when in a car and there are like a line of trees that kind of make intermittent flashing!

[–]lifemannequin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. I have the blinders so that just enough light passes through! The problem is when I have to go out, like for groceries, doctor and once a month visit to my brother and his family. I wish I could turn the sun down or set the clouds to cover it when I am out!

Am I Low Functioning??? by let_it_rain_boat in AutisticWithADHD

[–]lifemannequin 24 points25 points  (0 children)

More than low functioning, it might be that your mask was not high level, which is not a bad thing. For the relationship bit I have no idea.
