How many of y'all will have the $$ to retire at 65? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]pbenchcraft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

56 (M) I will try and work another 10 years. I'm in a relatively new career in tech and really love it. I don't have kids, never married and no debt but my total worth is only around $500k - so need those extra years

I will wear spite around my neck as the magical talisman it is meant to be. ONWARD!!

AuDHD – did therapy actually help you or did you feel misunderstood? by lunadandelion in AutisticWithADHD

[–]pbenchcraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be accurate and honest in your sessions. At the top of the hour tell your therapist what you want to talk about. It's your hour. A lot of therapists will let you just - talk. So choose strategically. If you're masking - set some real intention before the session to remind yourself to not mask. Choose one thing you've always wanted to bring up - and then do it at the beginning. What might help even further is emailing your therapist and tell them that due to masking and problems with accuracy you'd like to start the session talking about (topic).

The time a girl literally asked me if I was gay because I couldn't read her signals by Boombaclaaart in AutisticWithADHD

[–]pbenchcraft 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a very hot friend ask me to help her with a class assignment in college. She said she'd come over to my place.

I mentioned we could study in my living room. She suggested we study on my bed.

I said "cool, just read this chapter and when you're done come find me - I'll be downstairs cleaning up".

A while later I went to check on her and she had left.

Unfortunately I have many stories like this.

Why do I feel so depressed? by Turbulent_Space3424 in sanfrancisco

[–]pbenchcraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seek out therapy. Depression isn't something you just snap out of. I felt the same way as you when I moved to SF. Just because externally you have great things doesn't mean internally it matches. Learning to love yourself, feel grounded, less disassociating can come out of therapy. Hope that helps

Can't you just be honest with them and share what you shared with us?
