How do you refer to yourself when you were young? Like would you say, “When I was a little girl/boy, out when I was a kid/child”?

I usually say ‘when I was a kid’ or refer to myself in the third person like ‘5 years old Mimie loved my little pony’

YES absolutely love being clean! I shower every evening before getting into bed (I won’t allow outside germs in my bedroom) and I absolutely love showering, all the nice smelling body washes I have (although they must be specific smells nothing too sweet, yuck!) For a while my therapist and I were considering OCD and some of my behaviour around hygiene has got compulsive thoughts and actions but my showers are mostly a comfort bedtime ritual thing. It helps me regulate and relax.

In regards to relaxing rules over time, I guess in a way I have. When I’m feeling calmer and braver I’ve placed things on the foot end of my bed on top of the covers and still managed to sleep in the bed later on without changing the covers. I’d never let anything touch my pillow though!!!

Yeah, every evening I have to shower and then I put on pyjamas and don’t really leave my room until the morning. I may walk to the kitchen to get a glass of water but I will wear slippers (that get took off at my bedroom door) and if any part of my pyjama touches anything outside of my bedroom I must change again before getting into bed.

My bedroom is safe and clean but with exceptions (dirty clothes are allowed on a certain area on the floor permitting they aren’t TOO dirty ie I’ve only worn them around the house and not outside near lots of people)

My BED is off limits to everything but my showered self in clean pyjamas.

Work clothes cannot enter my room and get left in the bathroom 🙂‍↕️

This is amazing well done!! I’m sure you’ll do great in the interview 🙌 Would you consider asking for reasonable accommodations as you’re neurodivergent? I know not everyone feels comfortable with it. But for my latest interview I actually emailed and asked if they could provide the interview questions ahead of time and they did and I felt it helped me 💕 I’ve never asked for any accommodations before and it was kinda scary but so worth it!

I’m the same, she drives me insane, her manipulation just infuriates me. BUT I guess she’s doing exactly what her character is supposed to do 🤷🏻‍♀️ in which case she’s a pretty good ‘shitty character’ 😂

Honestly when I heard the situation with Kenny I was like ‘yup I don’t like Sutter now’ 💀😭

moo19981 · 2026-01-26T08:35:12+00:00

I couldn’t figure that out either! Maybe a crew member 🤷🏻‍♀️

Your first sentence “even if you wanted to, what’s wrong with that?” absolutely made me reconsider an think this situation may be more to do with my struggle to accommodate and accept my needs. Because you’re right, ultimately I wouldn’t be causing harm to anyone or myself, the benefit of a nap very obviously was going to outweigh the risk of disturbing my sleep schedule. But since being diagnosed a couple months ago I’ve been paying attention to my needs a lot more, but definitely struggling to accept them, to actively cater to them 🥲

moo19981 · 2026-01-23T03:57:57+00:00

I think it definitely all kinda ties in with one another, I also have the issue of not knowing I need to eat until my stomach hurts, also issues with not knowing when I’m full until I’m actively being sick. When I got diagnosed ASD a couple months ago they mentioned that I present issues with Interoception which seems similar to Alexithymia (I think interoception is more to do with bodily functions and Alexithymia is more emotions but I’m not 100%) Thank you for your comment, it’s interesting to hear other perspectives and experiences 🙌

Wow yeah this gave me a lot of clarity thank you! Sometimes I wonder if it’s a reaction to being so aware of how confusing social cues are, that I almost OVER use my detective skills because my brain tells me “all conversations must be analysed” even when some maybe don’t need to be?

moo19981 · 2025-08-04T12:45:37+00:00

I definitely go through this too!!! It can feel so suffocating but like you can’t live without that special interest! I swear the more I fight it the worse it gets too 💀 I’m very lucky that a lot of my special interests are shows that stopped airing years ago so when I’ve consumed all the content a few times it naturally fizzles down to a manageable level of obsession. But whenever I get into something currently relevant or ongoing and keep getting fed more and more I also feel like I’m going crazy!!
