    What are feminist opionions of male victims of abuse who are suicidal and depressed?

    I've had depression since my teens, along with accompanying suicide urges. No attempts - I faced that option early and turned away from it. I told my GP I'm too cantankerous to consider it, when I can make my enemies suffer more by living the best life I can on any given day despite the...

    Does anyone wear the same clothes over and over?

    My friends think it is odd that if I like an item, I will buy it in all the colours. I also get extremely miffed if I really like something and it's only in one colour, which is also amusing, apparently. I get really stressed about deciding on what to wear, so when I started working, my...

    What are feminist opionions of male victims of abuse who are suicidal and depressed?

    I used to refuse to identify as a feminist because those I knew in real life were misandrists. I was also growing up at a time when some radical feminists insisted that a woman could only call herself a feminist if she excluded all men from her life. It's very different now. Those women are a...

    Being oblivious and entering the wrong area anyone?

    Sort of! I woke up feeling ill, and disoriented. I walked into my parents' bedroom to ask for help. I was bewildered when the response was an exclamation in German. I wasn't in my parents' house; I was in a flat I shared. I'd gone into the room which was in the relation to mine as my...

    What's the earliest sign you showed of autism?

    When I told my mum a few weeks ago that I am probably autistic, she related one of her favourite stories about me. She was saying I couldn't be, because of what a clever baby I was. I used to kick my blankets to move them round until the ribbon was next to my face, you know. When she ensured the...

    Being oblivious and entering the wrong area anyone?

    There was a place I had been going to for over 15 years. I had my favourite cubicle in the loo and everything. Then one summer, they switched the placement of the loos - gents was now ladies, ladies was now gents. Five years later, I was still walking into the gents on auto pilot. My friends...

    Stupidly Excited

    I read Neurotribes to learn more about neurodiversity, as part of a commitment I've made to be a better ally to marginalised groups. I had no clue I would find myself in there. Colour me surprised!

    Anyone else like British mysteries?

    I have a Kindle Unlimited subscription. There are a lot of British detective novels from the 30s, 40s, and 50s, on Unlimited. I'm currently working my way through the Inspector Littlejohn books by George Bellairs. Bellairs produced Littlejohn for nearly forty years. Amazon will bring up classic...

    Does your brain short-circuit when speaking on the phone?

    I work in a contact centre, my job is pure telephony, dealing with inbound calls only. I have a structure to follow, certain questions to ask in a certain order, depending on the call nature. I'm very good at it. Four years in, no complaints, near perfect performance. I hate making calls. I...

    What soothes you?

    And chopsticks don't look dangerous. No one could be alarmed by someone carrying a chopstick. I may have watched too many Chinese martial arts films, with their use of improvised weaponry.

    What soothes you?

    Crochet works in the same way. It is much easier to take out and about because there is only one stitch to worry about, if it does fall off the hook, it doesn't ladder downwards, and if anyone annoys you, you can contemplate on how the Egyptians used something very like a crochet hook when...

    Stupidly Excited

    There was the message, urging me to introduce myself - otherwise I might not have dared.

    Stupidly Excited

    Bob has found a Donkey substitute, and has abandoned me. He'll come back eventually, and in the meantime - more pie for me

    I wobble, and I'm getting better at the not falling down!

    I'm looking forward to hanging out, learning a bit more, and, maybe, indulging in actual social interaction *gasp*
