A whole lot of things almost killed me but nothing cut so close yet.
That's right. You didn't say that. I'm sorry. |

| Hi Justin! I feel similar and I use this felt "imprisonment" more in a spiritual way. That means: I don't like diagnosis and I don't have one except being severely traumatized and particular symptoms coming with it. If I would have a diagnosis like Aspergers, I would still want to be free ... |

I got a second job ---> taking care of a 9year old autistic boy. He doesn't talk (yet).
I felt instantly connected, seen, understood, loved. Didn't expect this.
This connection makes sense. |

| This topic attracts me. I just had on my mind "if I can't find what I need, I have to create it myself". And then I found this thread. I notice that my nervous system is constantly looking for feeling safe among people. Also in here. It makes it hard for me to follow communication and I of... |

Drinking makes me feel like loosing ground, which I worked hard for to have. I feel like I become cold and even more detached than I already am.
I also don't like the smell. Except the sweet stuff. |

| Both of your posts are really helpful to me. I usually rely on the energy I perceive from people, also by how they write. In contact with certain people (mainly when it's about powerposition, hierarchy,Ego) I sense poison in my body and leave if possible. I think that some people think that their in... |

| Thank you, NorthWind. I can relate. Well written and true from my experience. Always exposing oneself due to lack of selflove is connected with much shame for having those needs to connect. So for me, I focus on becoming aware of how I feel with my "giveaway" and how it "develops"... |

| I always get nervous reading cooking/baking instructions. I scan through the text just to realize that I HAVE to read it and concentrate if I want a result. That wasn't the question.
