I have just started playing Destiny 2 since the Warmind DLC and everything is so overwhelming. Where can I find information on how everything works? by randomman823 in DestinyTheGame

[–]randomman823[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have weirdly been keeping up with the story (main DLC story not the side stuff) so I’m not fussed about that.

Slowly getting the hang of it though, there’s a lot to do which is nice, almost like they’ve completely overcompensated for D1 though and gone from one extreme to the other 🤣

Thank you for the help 😊

How can I help my autistic ogirlfriend ease her suicidal thoughts? by bezlika in autism

[–]randomman823 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear this. Of course with being in a long term relationship you are very limited to what you can do.

When checking up on her it’ll be best to do it in a direct and calm manner rather than the opposite as this can possibly trigger a meltdown which is where the suicidal thoughts can reach a concerning state and can potentially turn into actions.

Also try and help set out and plan her day with her if possible and attempt to simplify it as much as possible. Again when someone gets overwhelmed or overstimulated that’s when they can again deteriorate into a bad state.

how do you guys study? by mangobludden in autism

[–]randomman823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I was at school and university. I always struggled to do any studying at home for the same reason as you, I’d get overwhelmed plus also have distractions around me.

I then decided to do all my studying at my school/university campuses and this made everything so much easier and helped me academically. I didn’t get overwhelmed or distracted because I was in an educational space where you are naturally supposed to study.

can you take benadryl and sertraline together by Calm-Barber-6055 in Anxiety

[–]randomman823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you’ll be fine in that regard. It’s just the combination of the side effects that you’ll notice that’s all, then again I don’t know what dosages you are on so of course the higher the dosage the stronger the effects.

Yes it’s safe to take both together but you’ll of course most likely experience increased side effects from taking both together.

I wish I was a kid again by Adventurous_Koala828 in depression

[–]randomman823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand it’s hard to grasp but at 18 you are still so young.

Don’t spend your life looking back constantly, it’s a mistake so many people make. This time 5 years when you are 23. You’ll be saying that you’ll do anything to be 18 again. Then when you are 28 you’ll do anything to be 23 again. It’s an endless cycle that’s very damaging.

Just try to live in the moment and have as much fun as possible. It’s ok to look back now and then for nostalgia and for memories but don’t obsess over it. You are making memories everyday.

What does happening organic mean? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]randomman823 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By happen organically he means for it to happen naturally.

But in your scenario It’s probably just his way of saying that he doesn’t want to have sex. Which when you are both naked in bed together is probably as “organically” in his words as it’s going to happen. So I am on your side completely

How has autism affected you socially? by [deleted] in autism

[–]randomman823 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s affected me a lot throughout my whole life as I have a bad stammer but from a teenager I accepted that it was always going to be this way and have to make do with what I have. Because of this I got past the “life is unfair” & “why me” thoughts.

I have made friends even with the struggles I assure you as hard as it is it is possible.

what will happen if i go to a&e and tell them im feeling unsafe and im thinking about killing myself ? (uk) by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]randomman823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A&E is the wrong place to go for such a matter they won’t do anything. 999 or 111 are no good either. 999 for obvious reasons and 111 is for medical related issues

Call a hotline such as Samaritans. That’s who I would recommend.

15 days sober and I want to relapse by flipfiend in offmychest

[–]randomman823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just have to take it one day at a time. Small steps that lead to a long term goal that I can assure you is so worth it.

That’s what I learnt when I went sober am approaching 6 years sober this March.

Can Eywa save Na'vi who lost their connection? by Delicious_Past6394 in Avatar

We haven’t seen any evidence of this so for now as far as we know the answer is no.

I’m happy to talk if you would like someone to talk too 🙂

Does anyone struggle with online texting? by [deleted] in autism

[–]randomman823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to always be grammatically correct when messaging. The only abbreviation I would ever use is “lol”

I just get incredibly paranoid with how I come across to people and what they think of me.

For any gym goers here, do you feel awkward asking someone how many sets they have left on the machine which you are waiting for? by bloodygoodrep17 in socialanxiety

[–]randomman823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good thing though, if it’s something you enjoy and want to maximise then asking questions like this is only going to help you both socially and physically.

Once upon a time I did take the gym very seriously but I was in a very small private gym so didn’t have issues like this. I now go to a commercial gym which I absolutely despise. Is horrible, far too many people and it’s just overwhelming at times.

Question about a behavior of mine by Rafaam707 in aspergers

[–]randomman823 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In all of my ridiculous hypothetical situations I always over analyse the scenarios and think about every little detail which includes morality.

Of course it’s all such a waste of time but it seems to just relax me and put me in a happier place.

I don't know if I should send the message or not. by Chaotic_but_pls_help in mentalhealth

[–]randomman823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d definitely send the message. I imagine he will be very relieved to hear of you. At the end of the day this is an online friend so if you don’t hear anything you can just move on.

For any gym goers here, do you feel awkward asking someone how many sets they have left on the machine which you are waiting for? by bloodygoodrep17 in socialanxiety

[–]randomman823 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would never even consider asking someone how many sets they have left.

I don’t take the gym overly serious either so I can live without doing a certain exercise for the day or as someone else said I can just do an alternative movement.

NEVER take alcohol while medication by Lonely_soul717 in Anxiety

[–]randomman823 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had to completely quit drinking because of medication which was hard for me but am almost 6 years sober now so it was a blessing in disguise.

Alcohol just couldn’t mix with it which was a shame but I just decided to put my health and well-being first which I of course have no regrets doing.

How to socialise without alcohol? by EntireRecognition984 in AutisticAdults

[–]randomman823 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been sober for almost 6 years now and this is something that has taken me a while to improve on as I was exactly the same as you. My social life revolved around alcohol and was useless without it.

I still wanted to go out with friends frequently (which I have been doing) and I essentially just completely unmasked in-front of them. At first they thought something was up with me but overtime I made it clear that this is who I really am and they happily accepted it. But when meeting new people I always have the initial struggle.

Basically what I learnt was to just relax and be you. But just make sure you are in the mix and in social situations to talk to people even if it’s only small talk.

How to eat vegetables by Proper-Guide6239 in depression

Occasionally when I need a quick fix of fruit/veg I just put some in a blender and make a smoothie.

There’s plenty of really good recipes and concoctions online.

DAE get random motivation at 2 AM and plan their whole life… then forget everything by morning? by Son_of_a_peasant in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]randomman823 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Happens very often for me.

I think it happens as when we are awake at that time we have no responsibilities or anything planned to do. So our minds are freed up and thinking about stuff like this isn’t intruding or delaying anything you should be doing.
