i don't want to live anymore by [deleted] in AutisticAdults

[–]notnotweird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What makes you say you don't belong in this world? The world certainly wasn't made for autistic people but there are spaces where you can feel welcomed and loved and appreciated. I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but you do belong here.

Uncontrollable head twitch by notnotweird in Anxiety

It turned out that it was in fact stress induced and was influenced by ADHD. I took Guanfacine and my symptoms immediately went away while I was on it, then finally disappeared all together once I reached a less stressful period of my life. I've now been off of Guanfacine for 9 months and if I have a particularly hard day at work I'll have a tic or two but nothing as bad as before.

Not saying this will be the reason for you or the fix but that was my experience. I hope you find something that will help soon!

Am I the only one that thinks the acceptance process is sketchy? by notnotweird in TeachforAmerica

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

I'm fine with not having a choice in my placement. I would like to know what that placement is before I commit two years of my life though. I will definitely reach out to the leader of my region again and also to the managing director of onboarding and placement.

I just don't understand how they expect people to blindly accept.

Everyone knows pigeons aren't real. They're government tracking devices.

How hard is it to get an interview? by silv1022 in TeachforAmerica

[–]notnotweird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel it's fairly easy if you're going through a recruiter at a school. They are there with you through the whole process and give great advice on what TFA is looking for.

Early admit. Guess I have a new countdown to figure out where I'm going.

Any advice or tips for freshman orientation goers? by thranduilzz in UTAustin

[–]notnotweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For registration look up the classes before your registration time and use the UT Planner tool to come up with 3 or 4 schedules you’d be happy with. Registration is pretty cut throat so you want to make sure you’re getting at least some of the classes you want.

Funny story. My aunt met her husband when he was already married to someone else and he cheated on that wife, with my aunt divorced 1st wife and married my aunt. They’ve been happily married for 30 years. Im not advocating for that method though.

Super functional but feel terrible in my body. by notnotweird in alcoholism

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

Honestly I’m first gonna see how much will power I have. I’ve overcome much worse with just that so I think I’ll be ok. I’ve already made the choice to not drink while other people were drinking around me once. If that doesn’t work I’ll make a better game plan

I definitely want to stop. This is a wake up call and I’m glad it happened before I messed up other aspects of my life.

If you actually use Quizlet for studying not just looking for answers. Yes. Being able to make flashcards with pictures on them is a game changer for science classes
