    What if my apartment randomly explodes?

    Sometimes I laugh at my own anxieties. :sweatsmile: But I've always had this habit where if something bad has happened in the news I immediately start worrying that it's going to happen to me.

    What if my apartment randomly explodes?

    It might explode while I'm at work though, then I'll lose my husband and my pets.

    Having to mask trauma or else it's "trauma dumping"

    I have RSD. It makes me extremely sensitive to criticism and social rejection. I feel everyone's pain here. I like to offer sympathy and support, as I understand that sometimes just kind words can go a long way when someone is having a hard time, but I've had it thrown back in my face one time...

    Having to mask trauma or else it's "trauma dumping"

    I'm glad. :) I do understand that some trauma stories can be triggering for others, but it's hard to please everyone. For some people these forums are all they have and it sometimes can help to pour everything out and share with others. A problem shared is a problem halved. That's what I was...

    Having to mask trauma or else it's "trauma dumping"

    Well this is what these forums are here for I think. There's no harm in talking about bad experiences, trauma, your demons, etc. If people get offended or don't want to read it then they don't have to.

    What if my apartment randomly explodes?

    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/dec/02/two-rescued-after-gas-explosion-destroys-edinburgh-home While my deepest sympathies go out to those people who were affected by the explosion, it's also now triggered off anxiety that it might happen to me or to people I love. I didn't know homes...

    Best jobs for autistic/neurodivergent people

    I find work that's too repetitive very boring and I'd prefer to work somewhere where every day is different. Still doing the same sort of thing but not exactly the same, if you get what I mean. Cleaning is extremely repetitive but the sort of cleaning that I do isn't. But the sort of cleaning...

    Worried about getting covid

    I do try to tell myself that, but I think it makes it more worrying when you're working with a potential carrier. I guess it makes you more aware of it. I keep having fantom symptoms (if that is the right word), where I keep thinking I have symptoms but then don't. Like I'll think my throat...

    Reading specific 'social' situations better than most other people?

    I don't get burnout from socialising, the only thing that can be exhausting is being shy. So I don't think I'm using extra mental energy to figure people out. If anything I'm rather sensitive to other people's emotions and body language, where I can't help but not notice it. But I've never...

    Reading specific 'social' situations better than most other people?

    How do we know whether we're analysing social cues logically or intuitively? I've never really thought about it til I read this thread.

    Worried about getting covid

    I'm just in anxiety mode at the moment and all I want to do is to isolate. Everyone at work seems to have coughs and colds too. At first I assumed it wasn't covid, just colds, until someone said that nobody has taken a covid test. So it could be covid. Now I am constantly washing my hands, then...
