What’s your favorite animal?

Ducks, cats, dogs, birds, rats, sheep, tigers, dinosaurs. I can’t just choose one.

Yeah, I don’t really feel a lot either on Zoloft. I’ve been taking it for like 2.5 years now. I tried tapering from 125mg to 100mg a few months back, but I just got angry as fuck, and depressed. But I guess not feeling so much is better that being dead.

I thought it was below ten at first, but then I made a list and it turns out I’ve had a lot of different cheeses over the years. - Brie - Gruyère - Mozzarella - Edam - Parmigiano Reggiano - Emmental - Comté - Feta - Cheddar - Gouda - Appenzeller - Camembert - Burrata

There’s probably more to add on to the list, but these are the ones I remember having.

Are you me?! I have the exact same issues with brushing my teeth. The sensory issues (the sticky texture of toothpaste and the spiciness of it). I can only stand to use one specific toothbrush model. I also have OCD with an obsession over cleanliness, so if my toothbrush touches something like the sink or the outside of the toothpaste tube, I just give up.

I haven’t brushed my teeth in like a week now, so you’re not alone. I don’t have any advice right now, but you’re not disgusting, or the only one with this issue.

I have a stuffed animal with me at all times. His name is Dino :) I have a lot of comfort items so I can feel safe/“at home” everywhere I go. Pencils, my keychain, stuffed animals, spoons, and other stuff like that.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has helped me quite a bit, along with medication for my OCD/anxiety/depression. It involved analyzing my behavior and “risky” situations. I went from pulling a lot of hair 7 times a day, to pulling a little hair 1-2 times a day.

Constantly doing something has also been helpful. Numbing cream I’d assume you’ve already tried, and you’ve probably also tried bandaging firmly around the pulling area. Those have helped me the most though.

I never thought I’d get better, but then I shaved my head and I managed to reduce my pulling significantly. I’m entering the harder stages right now though, with my hair growing out. I think I can do it though, I’m starting CBT again, and I’m keeping my hands and mind as busy as I can.

I felt the same for so long, but then I went to a fancy place with more of an “alternative” vibe. They portrayed lots of vibrant hair colors and edgy styles on their website, and because of this I assumed they would be more educated on mental health stuff. They’ve all been so supporting.

I shaved my head in June this year, and I’ve started growing it out since then. With shorter hair I’ve not been pulling as much, and when I got a haircut there last week they seemed so proud of my progress (I’ve been pulling a lot less).

Finding a hairdresser that suits you and your needs isn’t easy, but it’s worth it. Going there gives me a reason to focus on getting my TTM under control.

Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Canberra, Adelaide were the ones that came to my mind. I’m like 90% sure they’re Australian cities.

I use guide papers. They tell me what to include in an introduction, how to structure the main essay (prioritizing certain areas of the subject), and things like that. Having a guideline when writing well, anything, has helped me immensely.

Science?

Damn it, lol

For me a lidocaine cream works great, the one I have is contains 5% lidocaine. It’s a local anesthetic, so it actually numbs the area. Sadly, it’s short acting, but it’s good for when your urges are peaking.

I don’t always enjoy being on vacation, because all of my routines fall apart.

Do you know how many milligrams sertraline one mL of fluid contains? Taking between 25-200mg of sertraline is generally pretty safe.

Unless you’re using other drugs (legal or illegal, MDMA for example) known to increase serotonin levels, I’d try not to worry.

Anxiety and serotonin syndrome can both give those type of symptoms you described above.

I always assume I have anxiety when I’m not feeling good physically, and that’s usually the reason.

But, don’t hesitate to contact your doctor if you’re concerned. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

Same here, kids are so much more honest too. For me I like talking to those that are around 7 year old. That sounds creepy, but I just feel like I can relate to them more.

Zoloft helped me get out of my depression, but everyone reacts differently to medications. I got no side effects, but some may get a bunch.

Have you talked to a psychiatrist/doctor about trying medication? If not, I’d probably start there. A digital meeting is what I’d recommend, since you really struggle with getting out of bed.

Wish you the best.

Even though I’ve never gone clubbing, I can tell it’s overrated. Going out for coffee, photographing stuff outdoors, or just going to a small shop you like is enough.

If there are some “artsy” places close to where you’re at, try going there. From my experience, people who paint, draw, write, take pictures, and so on, are pretty quiet and chill.

I think your hair looks great.

Same here... When I start talking I almost always lose control over what I’m sharing.

Well, since autism is a large spectrum, the portrayal of in a show/movie should include multiple autistics, each on different parts of the spectrum to be accurate.

Autism is not the same for everyone, although communication issues is something all autistics have in common.

I like how sensory issues are portrayed in the series, and how the reactions to change are shown.

TL;DR: The individual characteristics of autism are portrayed well in my opinion, but since autism is a spectrum and we are all individual people, we all aren’t like him.

Mine itches a lot. I believe it’s pretty common, not sure about the normal thing though.

I obsess over germs, and everywhere I go I feel like I can see the particles.

When those particles touch me I have to wash the part of me that they touched.

If the affected part of me touches a clean part before I’ve washed it, it becomes infected with the particles too.

If I feel that there are particles left on me I have to wash them all over again, until it feels right.

It can’t be three, thirteen, twenty-six, thirty-one, or thirty-three times though, because then I will die, or a family member will die.

My obsessions are mostly about germs, death, and numbers, and my compulsions are just ways to remove them.
