Heya! I’m Xenia and I’m 19.
I’m really glad this forums exists, you’re all great people

So here’s me, I have had depression since 13 due to bullying that came from a specific girl who didn’t like me, she turned the whole school against me and it was a hell in those middle school years.

I dropped out of college this year due to stress and family issues. I was raised in an abusive household and most of my meltdowns were of that reason, except from a very few ones that included foods or medicine syrups that had weird flavors and stuff. I also have synesthesia, for example I see numbers with colors in my mind when I recall them. Now I outgrew it but it still comes once in a while but when I was little it was my way of thinking exclusively.

I’m also dating a fellow aspie my age 3 months now and while communication is hard, he’s the best boyfriend I could ever have, even if we face lots of issues when we go in public like people commenting and staring but we don’t care.
:heart:

Welcome!

Why do people comment and stare?

Welcome to WP, Xenia :)! Glad you've found a happy connection with a fellow spectrumite. May you long be happy together. Sorry to read of your past trauma with family etc and wish you much better & happier times ahead. One of my closest friends is from Greece and she would bring me her homemade baclava to taste test .... I rescued a beautiful dog from Crete a few years ago now, and he has adjusted well over time from "speaking Greek" hehe ... to learning some English key words and phrases! So good to have you with us! xx

Hello from Lebanon,
I feel you, I was also raised in an abusive household.
I'm glad you have found love. Good for you.
