This is how I feel about it as well, but as an autist, I’ve learned that neurotypical just mean it as a greeting, and nothing more. It doesn’t matter what you say, they just want a “hello” in a structured way.

I’m in the exact same boat, except I only recently started (1 year ago) my journey to diagnosis after learning that I’ve had anxiety and depression for most of my (30 year) life without knowing that the gloom in my life isn’t normal.

Now I think Adhd might be the reason behind it all, as so much of what I’ve read about Adhd fits with what I struggle with.

I always just lived my life thinking everyone else’s life was just as shit as mine, because I didn’t lock myself in the bedroom like “real depressed people”.

Adhd kids get told negative things way more often that other kids, and that is traumatic. Undiagnosed Adhd leads to anxiety and depression because of it, which makes it very similar to ptsd. But since it’s chronic and over a long time period, it is separate from ptsd, as the cause is Adhd, and not the trauma itself.

It’s not unhealthy until you add sugar to give the good a resemblance of good taste after removing the fat.

Just don’t leave them in the sink and you can do the same with multiple of each, saving you the wash up. Just out them straight into the dishwasher. Saves energy, water and time.

Mmm. I love me some trash soup on my pizza boxes. Brings out the familiar aroma

That will only result in an infection in the long term without medical intervention. Not helpful for the parasite class.

Learning to notice that the automatic thought are negative ones is the first step to learning to interrupt them once it happens and shift the future automatic thoughts to be more positive.

It takes time, but is well worth going for if you find yourself doing this a lot.

Orgasm at home every week vs having to get doctor to cum in your ear.

But… I like the eargasms I get :(

Low interroception, not necessarily Adhd. Like most symptoms it can come from many angles.

Haha, exactly what I was going for :p

Just say “you speak Brazilian, right?” and let them boil over in rage.

He only called… Wait, How did you know my neighbour called the fire department?!

Are you telling me to just waste bacon fat?! I always just leave the pan on high after I’m done cooking. As you are supposed to. It’s called baking the seasoning on the pan. The oil in the bacon attaches to the older bacon oil, and makes the other food you cook taste better!

Only true for bad informasjon gathering operations. They have device id and ip address, so they know it is an old phone. They will know that your new phone is your new phone and will prioritise that one. Now they just also know that you are trying to cheat the system, so you are now put in the “watch with more care”, so you will be the most advanced agents on you.

2, 2, 3?, 3?! What is this shit?

What happened to 1, 2, 2, L?

For me it always comes when procrastinating something worse. It’s not so much love as it just happens sometimes

Failing an exam you didn’t study for us not a failure of character. It’s not your fault, and it is not worth valuing higher than your life.

Depression is telling you that you put too much weight on yourself. Do your best and that is already 100% of what you can give right now, and that is OK.

The best time to start was 7 days ago, the second best time to start is now.

I struggle with this as well. If the step is too big I get overwhelmed and procrastinate the task untll panic sets in and fuels me with adrenaline.

Take a small step towards it without the intention to finish. Put the book out then do something else. Have the intention of just reading for 5 minutes then stop. Allow yourself to be satisfied in taking a step towards the big task.
