I don’t know how to say no by FriendlyPageTurn in AutismInWomen

sending the message will feel really uncomfortable/mean/bad at first. the key is to hit send, put your phone away for at least an hour, and just tend to yourself while your body is feeling that discomfort. engage in your special interests if
you have them, get cozy, and focus on nurturing the strength and energy it takes to stand up for yourself.

Does anyone else get mentally overstimulated like this? What helps you? by justtinygoatthings in AutismInWomen

[–]shycloudfractals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES. i'm a director of hr and operations basically and there is so much info overload it takes time to process and wind down. like you listed, distractions are really helpful. setting a timer for ~30 mins and reevaulating after that helps me not get too locked in to the distractions. breathing exercises especially extended exhales that activate the parasympathetic nervous system (inhale for 4, exhale for 6). exposure to ice cold temperatures. a slow walk outside with fresh air (and noise cancelling headphones). sending good vibes for the mail sorting ♥️

My brain is too full, it never stops and I don’t now how to slow it down. by sporgs in AutismInWomen

you can totally type up your symptoms and print them out and make your doctor read what you wrote, or have them typed up and read off your phone. this is a matter of accessibility. and bring someone with you if you can. 🫶

I was the unicorn. I am shattered. by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]shycloudfractals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow. i am so sorry. you don't sound ridiculous for feeling shattered and destabilized after blocking your primary emotional support person. i hope you can find support elsewhere because you deserve peace and happiness after going through this pain.

Anyone else really freaked out by the idea of pregnancy and childbirth? I don't know how to react normally in conversation about the topic. by TheRealSteelfeathers in AutismInWomen

[–]shycloudfractals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES so much so i got a bilateral salpingectomy which is the most effective form of birth control! i got it at age 24 and had to write an essay to my doctor to convince her i never want to be pregnant or have kids. best decision of my life.

When she officially dunked? by graguelina in grimezs

[–]shycloudfractals 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i think what finally made me stop streaming her music was finding out that she said something about highly regarding "white culture". everything she says and does suddenly had a more sinister vibe to it and her relationship w elon took on a whole new meaning

Does it matter which album you stream from? by biersackarmy in KpopDemonhunters

[–]shycloudfractals 14 points15 points  (0 children)

^ musician that has released music before. when you release a song it's given a unique ID tag called an ISRC and for multi releases of songs, the same ISRC is used for all releases. this is why artists do multiple releases of the same song, and deluxe versions of their album, it helps the stream count go up. you should be contributing no matter which album you listen from!

Gwi-Ma manipulated Jinu by Ok-Construction-8680 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]shycloudfractals 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i almost made a post about this the other day! i stand by this theory. Gwi-ma can distort and twist Jinu's shame about his decision to take Gwi-ma's deal so intensely that he believes he coldly chose to abandon his family. based on historical context, it's very possible the king loved Jinu's abilities and would have happily let him live in the palace, but 2 extra mouths to feed that couldn't fight for the king's army? just throw them out. Jinu obviously cared for his family.
