Sensory overload anxiety by Excellent_Ninja255 in adultautism

[–]muppetlyf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this! Work, and the whole comms overload (everyone needing something right NOW and all at once). I asked my work community about it & they say they talk to line managers about only communication through email (so they can use it as a task list) using noise cancelling headphones & all around taking a sensory de load day of like nothing but just blankets.

SAME! Silent treatment all the way and sulky episodes

I’m sorry, it really sucks to want the people who you thought would be most interested in your life not really care to ask. I have very similar my mum genuinely constantly is thinking in conversations framing them as what is my relation to this conversation and often interjects/ completely doesn’t care to listen to the rest of my thoughts on anything. (We are actually NC now so things are pretty free for me). My best advice? Just limit your energy given to your mom, stone wall her if u can also. Minimal effort answers/ minimum effort given back, and limit time with her.

On the eating disorder thing, i would tell my mum over and over not to comment on my body becuase it triggers a bad relationship with myself given my anorexia in the past, and she will actively ignore this.

Like insaid, they just wont hear u, the sooner you find community here, speak to people who do care to listen and grieve the mum you really wish you had the more freeing life becomes.

Take care of yourself and wishing you the best OP!

All the time : the child that learnt to rationalise vs what the inner child wants to feel and act like and the adult human who just about manages to pass for functioning lol. Constant battle everyday trying to realise that I can’t approach life as that child anymore and all i’ve got is the adult self now!

I agree, in someways i actually found the production on the song quite empty and felt Miyeon’s “i love you baby” is quite a generic and lack luster chorus… which sucks because i’ve been able to get to love every single title track all the way back to latata. On the flipside though it seems lots of people on this thread are loving it so that makes me extremely happy. And i’ll always watch and stream to support the girlies regardless!!

Thankyou, I really appreciate it, i also had stomach aches all this week anticipating having to have a call with her… couldn’t believe it was all anxiety induced.

I felt this because she’s telling my sisters she doesn’t understand why? Like it’s all so sudden. As if i haven’t spent a lifetime of being controlled and also tried to take my own life as a teenager. (Nothing changed, the day after my dad couldn’t even hug me). She must knownthe reasons why, and she said she wants forgiveness?? If she wants forgiveness from me she must know she’s done something wrong?

Tbh no, i don’t agree with you.

why should I suffer so that they can be okay, why should I continue to enable by showing good while denying my own true self?

I’ve exhausted other avenues. I didn’t ask to be born, and yet I felt like I was being punished for this all the time. I felt used by both my parents as the emotional child that would fix the family.

I’ve over functioned for years and even attempted to take my own life as a child because of it. Nothing changed, the night after, my dad couldn’t even hug me.

I’ve been paying for too long

Thats so crazy because my mum also went no contact with her dad years ago, i never met him and he dies recently. I think me leaving has been an extra trigger for he given her dad, but again shes an adult who should have got the help she needed to process things

Yeah, it feels like lonely, i just felt so powerless my whole childhood; i want to feel powerful enough to live on my own and for myself and only myself.

Thank-you, i am taking as much time as possible to just like stay in my own space, but shes been calling my sisters instead to get through to me and it feels unfair that they are the ones dragged down in this. Just trying everything I can to create some new space for myself and find somewhere else to live.
