    How to relax without being bored

    Thanks. As soon as I see my psychiatrist again I’m talking to him about not taking them any longer.

    How to relax without being bored

    Thanks everyone. I think the root of the problem is that I have it in my mind that relaxation = boring = bad. Ultimately I need to learn that relaxing in moderation is actually good for me. Right now I struggle so much when my mind isn’t working. Being calm isn’t pleasurable to me, which I...

    Being sick while autistic

    I’m sorry to hear you went through such a tough time with this. I have a similar situation to what you describe with not being able to drive etc. Thankfully I have other options like being able to call a nurse and take a bus to the hospital. I hope you can find a way to address your health...

    How Do You Show You Care? (or What's Your Love Language?)

    Sounds like you’re being take advantage of, financially and otherwise, so beware of that, though it may not be intentional. perhaps you can ask your roommate what would make them feel like you care more? Honesty is really important, especially for us on the spectrum, though most others...

    How to relax without being bored

    I just spent the last 12 days in the hospital and all of the nurses told me I need to relax more in my life to keep my brain working optimally. The problem is that relaxing is so boring. How do you handle this? I appreciate any ideas.

    Hi everyone

    Yeah I hear you. I couldn’t afford therapy for the same reason so I did it mostly alone (no therapist). It’s rough. I’m so sorry our society doesn’t care enough to help us heal. It’s dangerous because the traumatized mind works differently than the non traumatized mind and snapping out of...

    Hi everyone

    Hey guys. I was writing as much as I could about my experience healing from trauma on another forum dedicated to trauma because I wanted to help others get through it. Then they banned me, apparently they felt it was dangerous… which it is. The way I see it is you can live safely in trauma...

    Hello! I'm new here.

    Hello MTC! :) Now that I am thinking more clearly, here is a list of things that help me manage my overwhelming anxiety: - Fulfilling My Needs - Laying down after needs are met - Calming scents (frankincense and myrrh candle) Needs are a very complex subject because not only do they need to...

    I feel attacked by this website

    Could be; thanks! It seems the ad blocker I was using previously stopped working after a restart (perhaps update). I found a new one which is working for now. I'll continue to monitor the situation. :) Thanks so much for walking me through a working solution. It's so challenging for me to...

    I feel attacked by this website

    Thank you. Streetwise, have you contacted an administrator about the charges? I hope that can be resolved to your satisfaction; and I appreciate the warning immensely! I do have a couple of ad-blockers but they are not working well for this site. I will try to figure it out further. Thanks...

    I feel attacked by this website

    All of the ads on this website are extremely intrusive. It wouldn't be so bad if it was one ad, but there are numerous ads per page. The ads on this website directly trigger my ASD and make it harder for me to function (socialize with others here). On a website regarding any other topic I would...

    How to "show intellect" in a comfortable way?

    Thanks for the suggestions Progster. I’ll do more work on judging how interested people are. I’m sorry to hear you worry about sounding dumb. I have to speak slowly sometimes and forget things too, especially on topics I don’t find very interesting. I also need to interrupt conversations to...

    How to "show intellect" in a comfortable way?

    Encyclopedia Britannica? I have fond memories of those. My memory is good but not eidetic. Hopefully I can train it further but we’ll see how it goes. I’m happy to report that I had a wonderful evening with my sister and her husband today. I was able to be myself, for the most part because...
