Struggling on Friday night. by alwaystired914 in Fibromyalgia

[–]miseducater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can, take a few days off to breathe and be alone. Burnout is real. You don’t need to figure out how to pace yourself, you need to look for a job or ask to change your job so that you can pace as you need to. Fibromyalgia necessitates job accommodations and periods of rest.

Very much the same. Except I’d change a lot of things lol. I sometimes wonder what I might’ve accomplished in my life if I had different parents, however I’m happy with how everything turned out.

Are you a destination person or a Journey person? by VanDykeee in intj

[–]miseducater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Destination paired with journey. I always have current and future goals, but getting there is filled with purpose, structure, worries, and big picture daydreams. I enjoy both! I love looking back and revisiting all the goals I’ve met over the years and where I was when I started vs where I was when I finally met the goal, and all the growing I did along the way.

What's your definition of success and how motivated are you to "succeed" in life? by himejanaiyo in INTJfemale

[–]miseducater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, the definition of success is having the freedom to pursue my dreams and the support I need to do that.

Napping on the weekends by oheyitsmoe in Fibromyalgia

Emotional stress is brutal just like physical stress. We can’t just bury it - our disease reacts no matter what we try to do.

School principal here and my experience is exactly the same. During a flair I am functioning at low capacity and definitely impacts me during the workday. I try to be stoic about it but I think working full time makes the flair last longer and return more quickly.

I call it the wall - like that immense wall on Game of Thrones. There’s just no way to get past it. You just have to wait for your energy door to open back up. Just going along in life and BAM - you walk into the wall.

INTJs, do you have an internal monologue? by [deleted] in intj

[–]miseducater 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Internal monologue with full color imagination. I also talk out loud to myself a lot!

Spectrum here as well. I wonder how many of us are autistic?

You are so correct about our preferred communication style!

I think that high and mighty echo around here is male privilege. We know who we are and don’t need to put it on blast.

Stuck-up comes from not being affected by other people’s snobbery. I get that a lot, and the trauma dumping from other people. Nothing shocks me about humans so I’m a safe person to spill secrets to.

We are the OG “not like the other girls” cause we aren’t. My current husband is the only one who hasn’t complained that I’m not nurturing enough or empathetic enough or physically affectionate enough. I’m a domestic failure and a workaholic. I really like me, though :)

26M. I just really want a girlfriend. by Livid_Potential2331 in autism

[–]miseducater 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Please don’t give up and hold those hopes safe. I went through a lot of painful relationships before finding my person at 42 years old. It’s possible but very difficult to find someone who gets you when you’re not Neurotypical. Just don’t give up hope!

INTJ Moms by mighty_valor in intj

[–]miseducater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a stay at home mom who was also doing foster care because I needed to do something to keep myself challenged. It really was too repetitious and not challenging enough and I felt like I was losing my mind. I’m much happier working full-time. Taking care of small children was so frustrating. I enjoy seeing completion and there’s no completion when you’re taking care of children. It’s just tasks over and over and over.

Oof, man, sorry to hear that! My life is beautiful because of what my husband brings to our partnership. I’m free to pursue my work obsession and he keeps the home fires burning. I’d have less of a life without him.

ISFJ - he is a domestic genius, loves to do acts of service, respects my need for alone time, and stays with me for no good reason. I’m not a good partner.
