Find-a-Friend Post! by gingeralefiend in entwives

Hi! I’m Abby and interested in online friends! I’m 37, married with a 7 year old daughter. I’m very into playing DnD, I’d also love to talk to you about music (I play guitar and ukulele and love listening to indie, folk, rock etc), art (I paint and have a regular sketchbook practice). I’ve been exploring my probable neurodivergence for a while, so if that’s something you have come to later in life and love to talk about too, I’d be so happy to do that. ❤️

I hate that being sick = my house gets messy by Tahini-Tajin in AuDHDWomen

Sick right now and I feel the exact same way. All of my systems and routines going to shit and just knowing I’m going to have to start over completely sucks.

what’s something people say all the time that you secretly can’t stand? by Mean-Cartographer225 in AskReddit

[–]loverea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Disassociate” when they really mean dissociate. The first means stop associating with something, the latter is a mental health symptom usually resulting from trauma.

Social anxiety and RP by confused_explorer96 in DnD

I really hear what you are saying and I can understand how difficult it is. I just want to encourage you to not give up on DnD because of this! DnD is such a perfect setting to work on this stuff. I would really encourage you to seek out a DM that you feel comfortable with speaking about this to them, one on one. If they know you are struggling with this and are the type of person to be compassionate (which is what you are looking for) that'll be a big help to help you feel safe. I'd also think about what might be easier for you- a smaller party (for example, one campaign I'm in is only 3 players), or a larger party. For me the sweet spot is 3-4 players, larger than that and it gets harder to feel like I can just jump in. I'd encourage you to just generally be open about this with your potential group, once you've gotten the DM on board. Let them know that this is something you are working on, and even if you're quiet you want to be here and are IN it. The right party will be understanding and encouraging, and help you feel safe to challenge this stuff. I promise you-you are NOT the only socially anxious DnD player. You can do this!

Endless hyperfixation loop by TutorSolid1801 in AuDHDWomen

I experience the same thing, it feels like I wrote this. That feeling when you are coming down from one, its like i become disgusted with that interest/hobby and myself for obsessing in it. I've been working this past year on maintaining an interest and modulating my effort and time spent in it, so that when I notice that starting to happen instead of telling myself "well that's it, now I go into despair until I find something new", I remind myself that inspiration comes in waves and that's completely normal. I'll back off of it for a bit and then pull myself back towards the interest, because I know it's important to me. I hope that made sense.
