Everyone keeps telling me

Post Reply New Topic

I dont want anyone to feel responsible but I do thank you for your post DW_a_mom.
Oncebitten people have been telling me my whole life that they cant read my mind. I am aware that, at times, unconsciously I do expect people to understand me even when I dont explain myself properly. I also start conversations in the middle of my thoughts and expect people to follow along. I have only just recently been diagnosed and am just really learning about myself....kinda funny at 42.
My husband is very good at explaining things to me when I get confused or upset. He talked to me last night and more this morning because I do tend to fixate and was in meltdown mode. I feel much better today. The agitation is gone and I understand that somehow I managed to paint a picture of myself that is the opposite of who I am. I have always had trouble speaking (foot in mouth disease) but I have always prided myself on writing. Perhaps I should stick to writing fiction instead of about myself. I do not regret removing my posts...I feel much better that they are gone and Im glad that unlike speaking I can remove my written words. I am very close to my daughter...as a matter of fact I did mention in one of my posts that we call her my mini me (even if she is much taller than me). Its why all this disturbed me so much.
Anyway, I had a great day yesterday with my daughter...sans the posts. We watched the Temple Grandin movie and she was really blown away by it...she wants to read some of her books. Ill stop now and leave it all at this....done!

LOL @ Starting a conversation in the middle of a thought... I do that too, drives people nuts!

I think maybe you just over analyzed stuff that I said - I tend to do that sometimes too.

No harm - No foul.

That is basically what my husband explained to me. Im just really stressed so its easy for me to freak out....Its no problem. I feel better and I certainly dont hold grudges against people unless they continually beat me about the head....metaphorically speaking .
