    Yoga, Stimming & Soothing

    Bad day for meltdowns as my financial, work and personal life continue to crash. Got home and eventually hid in my room (I am a mom, so got my young teen settled before I checked out...).

    Posting anxiety...partially diagnosed 44 yr old woman

    Hello everyone

Lol, the radio voice comnent is funny...i get that all the time...it covers up my natural failings and participation in high school speech and...

    Posting anxiety...partially diagnosed 44 yr old woman

    Hi! I usually avoid social media and online interaction (except Pinterest, the refuge for the socially awkward obsessives) because apparently I am doing it wrong. I hate this part (introductions and initiating relationships) but am hoping I have at long last found my "tribe." I was dx with...
