I'm meeting my exbf tomorrow, the one I have a house with.

I've made some references to him in the Satire thread, unfortunately, because of strange things he does and says. He's undx ADHD and almost certainly ASD but doesn't have any interest in knowing what ASD is or if he has it. He also has a brain injury to his frontal lobes. Wow I'm not making this sound good.

At one time he was the love of my life. He waxes nostalgic even though we're not a couple. Sometimes he cries either from guilt or from guilting me. It ends up being very exhausting. On top of all that he has hearing problems so I have to repeat everything about five times which makes me really cranky since I'm mute. He shouts because he can't hear and that triggers my misophonia. I usually end up going silent with my hands over my ears.

Fun wow.

Wish me luck.

Thanks! We've been split for over 20 years but we get together once or twice a year.

I just tried to ride and navigate with a wheelchair for the first time just for the heck of it.
Somewhat borrowed it from an elderly relative of my mom's coworker...

:lol: In just 6 mins or so, my arms got tired.
And my hands are dirty. Trying to go through a 3 inch gap or/and level on the floor could cause trouble...
.. Unless I'm well practiced in using a wheelchair. And likely also using the right one.

It's also a bit confusing.
I confuse how to go further or turn left and right. I had to mind that turning is in inversed.



Yes, I'm a 27 turning 28 year old woman who can get away with that.
It sort of helps that I do look and act at least a decade younger than I look. :tongue:

I can't help but feel really nervous and intimidated around anyone who is "tall". I'm shorter than average so the height difference is way worse and my little chimpanzee brain just instinctually finds being around people literally twice my size lowkey terrifying. lmaoo

My work before my birthday.

:| 2 weeks of 'management'.
I don't know.

I hope it goes well.
And I really hope 2 weeks is enough for me before I start feeling down due to hormonal changes.


I need to make a system.
A real system. To make it work.

Thankfully the new secretary will show me.
Without her realizing I'm watching her how to use those reminders really well. :lol: She happened to like having a system.


I never met anyone using a system.
Not this explicit. And anyone who tried to show me are either too patronizing or done too artificially.

How fun it would be to roast Justin Trudeau and eat him for dinner. I bet he tastes like lamb. He looks like a lost, little lamb.

Posted in r/disability to ask how the disability application process works.

Among some kinda cranky type responses (why?), one bloke outright told me "you're not disabled, go to the gym and eat healthier and this will all resolve".
Right. I have official work accommodations and a case worker for no reason I suppose. And I'm so sure that sensory overload will go away if I just work out three times a week, seems logical.

Anyways, blocked that douchecanoe after a while cuz he kept misgendering me even after being corrected twice. (If you insist on not calling me by they/them pronouns, I am ok with she/her. It's not ideal, but it doesn't bother me. Just don't use he/him, I will stab you.)

I have actually had good experiences with the specific reddit communities I tend to interact with until today. What bug bit r/disability's ass tho?


The people in the thread were generally right; it isn't easy to get disability, especially as you're already in work. It's one thing to say you're getting burnt out or the work affects your health negatively, but they'd probably want to see evidence of that happening so much that you couldn't work at all (for example, if you got so burnt out the you had a mental breakdown, you couldn't work any job and your therapist confirmed you were in no state to work). It might still be worth applying, because you never know, but maybe that's why the people in the thread were being quite stark about it - it's the harsh truth and its probably affected many of them too.


Often with a lot of medical issues, but especially mental/invisible disabilities, you have to let it get way worse before you they'll give you the help you need - at least that's the way it is over here. I think it's hard for neurotypicals to understand how taxing it is just to stay afloat sometimes, so as long as you're 'managing' (having a job, going outside, not looking a total wreck etc.), you might have a hard time convincing people you're struggling at all.

Hell, I even had one Dr say in my diagnostic process that she didn't think I could be autistic just because I work lol, and I work the same job as you by the sounds of it (although I just took a new one elsewhere). Thankfully every other professional seemed more enlightened.

I don't say all this to mean that you should give up, just, I read the thread and there seemed to be very much a consensus on the issue.

That last part sounds like a comedy of errors, except more difficult than funny. I hope it all goes as well as it can and it's not too stressful for you. Give yourself lots of recovery time to get your head back together.

Like many players, I'm constantly thinking about how to complete the next level or boss, how to improve my character, and how to collect more powerful weapons or armor. Also, I'm constantly thinking about tactics and game strategy, and how to get an advantage over other players. Also, I often think about what new games have come out or are coming out soon, and which ones I'd like to try.

Discovered an electrical fire hazard this morning. I called an electrician to a take a look at it. I can't use any lights in the kitchen nor the basement for the time being.
