I’m still here on the psych ward, medded-up. That’s all they do for you, except for finding ways to make you miserable with their policies. I never felt more autistic than now, and they haven’t given any leeway in order to make me comfortable.

It was very surprising that we have Internet access here, because that wasn’t my previous experience elsewhere. My anxiety is quite high. Medications have started, but I don’t know if there’s anything besides that this stay can do.
Going into the hospital now, trying to get admitted to psych...
Is there a specific reason that the "Watch" feature doesn't work properly? On another forum using the same software, I get notified about every thread that I'm watching. It's different here - and I'm not the only one to experience it. Is it an intentional setup or a glitch?
I'm proud of myself today. During some of the discussions here, there was a constant urge to mention a certain subject. It wouldn't have been helpful, and I've been successful at holding back.
I feel so trapped sometimes when writing. It's definitely easier for me to express myself with it better than with speech, but I still can't get across what I actually think.
An aspect of this site that is challenging is the number of sections. There are 26 of them within the forums.
One thing that upsets me greatly is when someone takes an action affecting others without explanation that (I think) warrants one. I'm greatly upset now.
I expected more results when searching this site for "Wordle". (There were nine.)
Before adding to "A-Z Adjectives" or similar fun threads, I search to see if the word planned has been used already. One recent search found eight results - five by a single member.
For three days, I found myself unable to write first-person pronouns. It was frustrating and made using forums (this one and others) difficult. Perhaps I'll share some time what was going on inside my brain - as much as I can understand.
My first look at the GET the COOKIE game tells me how ignorant I am. Just about every concept - from literature, movies, science - is foreign to me.
Since suggesting that hospitalization may be necessary, my anxiety shifted to mild depression. This week I am okay - not that much better than that, a bit on edge but as well as I've felt in months. There are also periods of euphoria.
A radio ad for Better Help - narrated by ESPN-NY host Peter Rosenberg - is all about masking and "removing the mask" through therapy. It is not focused on autism.
It's ironic that I just wrote about bad memories at a psych hospital, but I'm now considering checking myself in to that exact facility. It was a place that was dually a prison and a refuge.
"Meltdowns" are described all over the Internet as involuntary and uncontrollable. If this is so, I may have used it incorrectly to describe what has been happening to me recently.
Instead of repeating that I am uneducated about autism and trying to learn through making mistakes here, I should probably actually read up on it. I'm just not in the mindset to not get overwhelmed.
