Physical consequences to your obsessions/interests?

Post Reply New Topic

From bike riding:

Some decent scars from falls when little (gnarly jumps, yo)

From firearms:

Tinnitus and hearing damage from shooting without protection on (most times my fault)
caught a couple of decent ricochets/bouncebacks off a tree (stood too close. My fault)

That's it.

A fascination with blades caused me to cut my right index finger down to the tendon in a way that will never heal fully.

Well it might not seem like a proper aspie special interest but I think that frozen carrot cake did put a dent in my wallet and it is not good for my health. Thankfully I have got rid of the carrot cake habit.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

Well, running has meant many injuries. These have included hamstring trouble, grazes and I am currently nursing a hip problem.

If I get the questions right, I enjoy walking and now my feet are hurting.

Spend way too much money on special interests. A month ago it was hand made soap from etsy. Now it's nail polish and painting my nail for some reason. One day last week I repainted my nails 5 times just to see what different polishes looked like on them. The weird thing is when I was into the natural soap thing I stopped wearing make-up completely and could care less about polish. I'm going crazy I think!! !

Peeling my nails a lot, cuiticles bleeding. One time my toe got an infection so I had to go to the doctor and get anti-biotics. Otherwise, I was obsessed with suicide so I used to have some cut marks and I landed myself in the hospital once.

well. There has been this obsession in the past when my ego is up high that I am capable of accomplishing some amazing physical feats. I thought it would be a good idea to try a push-up where I clap my hands behind my back when I power up. Of course I face planted. And yes, I was drunk and at a party when I saw others trying it and not getting hurt and thought "Hey, let me try." I felt no real pain at that moment and felt okay only to hear the words "Holy Sh**, you're bleeding" I required four stitches from that incident and I of course now have a scar on my chin. I was afraid to use a razorblade for a couple of weeks.

I have been obsessed with drugs forever, so of course I eventually started using them. I suppose I'm probably thinner as a consequence.
