    Should I tell my ex?

    I put my ex through a lot of pain.

    sometimes my brain automatically blocks out sound and this wooshing sound comes in to replace it. Or sometimes a ringing comes in.

    Sensory Meltdowns While Driving

    I first learned to drive at age 12, i didn’t take a lot of interest in it, and it never came naturally whatsoevers. it never got easier. It’s actually gotten harder. I’m 20 now and I’ve failed the drivers test twice. So I just don’t drive. I hate relying on others, mostly my mom, to take me...

    What soothes you?

    I’ve always taken long showers even as a child I would spend as long as my family would let me in there. Sometimes 2-3 hours. The ocean has always been my happy place.

    Is this me?

    I was put on so many different antidepressants and anxiety meds that did not help or made me feel worse! Antipsychotics made me feel better. I haven’t been on them for very long but I can feel myself improving

    How to remove “the mask”
