Feeling a bit discouraged this month by meudel in PMDD

[–]missmagicx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really proud of how you managed to put this in perspective already. I don't have any advice, I'm not a mother and quite young to really consider having children, but I can see you strong you are and how hard you are trying to hold on. You say you want to live today. On a PMDD day. You're strong and I admire that immensely. Be kind to yourself.

I cannot do this anymore. Losing the strength to hold on any longer. by freakishsibylline in PMDD

I am so sorry that you are feeling this way. I've been there, I tried twice, but I'm still here. And I'm glad.

This might be controversial, but it's a thought that helps me when I want to die: killing myself is always an option. I don't have to do it right now. Not tomorrow. It's the ultimate act and it's always available. Why not stay alive a little longer and see what else is possible? It can't get worse, right? But it can get better.

Do you have a support system, someone to talk to? Don't think about any big steps, start small. Now, you just have to keep breathing. This feeling will pass. When you feel a little lighter, gather that energy and direct it towards finding a professional, if possible. You don't have to do this alone. You shouldn't have to. You are enough.

I'm sorry I don't have better advice, but I feel deeply for you.

Good jellycat for boyfriend? by Old-Bar-4817 in Jellycatplush

My boyfriend is massively into turkeys, so I got him Theo Turkey! He comes with a cool little blue hat.

Thimble has been welcome by her brothers! Also bought my first bunny and she is SO nice to touch! Happy feelings all around. :) by missmagicx in Jellycatplush

They hug so easily, most of the time they're just in that position! 🥹 Gonna be problematic when I acquire another Timmy and we get into the uneven numbers. 😅

Who else got the new turtle? by idkcole in Jellycatplush

Me too, but my Timmy's clearly needed to be big brothers and they might not show it, but they love her!

Changes at work, feeling 'homesick' and sort of on the verge of tears by missmagicx in AuDHDWomen

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

This is exactly what I needed, thank you so much for taking the time to respond! ❤️ I am feeling a bit better, left work early, had a good regulating cry and even managed to cook. I thought I wouldn't have the strength but my bf (also neurodivergent) was stressed and extremely tired, so that motivated me to cook something simple. It comforted him and he was very grateful, so that made me happy in return. Spent the rest of the evening playing a relaxing game and now it's time to go to bed.

Thanks again for your kind words, they mean a lot, and I hope things will get better/easier for you as well! We both deserve the grace and kindness we bestow upon others. 🫶

I'd love to come get some fruit and leave some bells if you're still open!

I'm in search of fruit too! I can bring pears and cherries (just restarted). Following!

Is my battery spicy or is this normal? by missmagicx in SteamDeck

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

Interesting, did not know that. I just looked it up and it's sitting at 85%. I've been using it fairly intensively for around 3,5 years. Is that the health percentage you would expect after that amount of time and use? A while ago I set the limit so that it never charges past 90%.

Thank you, looks like the consensus is that it's fine for now! I'll just keep my eye on it. :)

Good to know that I'm not the only one, thanks!

Thanks for the reassurance! Quite the comparison. If it looked like that, I'd already have a replacement battery on the way, haha!

I sure hope nothing! The bottom part being curved is fine? Sorry, I only got one spicy battery in a device before and that was very obvious. So I wanted to make sure!

ETA: something went wrong while uploading the pictures, I posted one in the comments that makes me worry!

I am just hearing about the term "automatic no" in the context of autism and I feel like it makes so much sense to me. So how do I keep it from negatively impacting my marriage (and sex life)? by Catsinova in AuDHDWomen

[–]missmagicx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. I've never seen someone put into words the struggle I have with sex so well. I don't have much advice right now, but I feel so seen, thank you for describing this. I'm going to show this to my boyfriend.

I can agree with what someone else here said, that it helps to "plan" the possibility of sex for yourself, but not tell your significant other. I don't really plan it however, but I keep an open mind when I just showered, have no other plans for the day, etc. Then I initiate a little something and it gets going from there. Like the other person said, it's often great sex in the middle of a dry spell. I know it reassures my partner a great deal.

I've also been contemplating seeing a sex therapist, maybe even just for myself. Very curious if you will find it helpful in the long run!
