Wounded

Post Reply New Topic

How do you handle it when you're wounded? Or does anyone know? If no one answers either of my posts, that's okay, I was just wondering about these things. They are hard subjects to talk about or think about so if no one answers, that will be understandable. They are just big subjects I'm dealing with right now.

Me, I cry a lot.

Sorry to remind you of that. And yeah me too.

Rage ... Rave .... Rant .... Repent .... Pray .... Try to forgive ... Plan to protect from further problems

Not medical, right? Bear in mind you fit into a category of people who are famous for dwelling on things to an abnormal degree, try to take your mind off of it, if only temporarily, by doing something you enjoy. By the time the "wound" appears again, it may not be as "fresh."

There does seem to be a lot of bitterness and animosity in here and I would do better without it.

CMaximus-Some dang good advice-and logic!

"Dwelling" is the perfect word. Distraction is key.

Physically or mentally?

Physically, it depends how bad. If it's just a scrape or something, I'll usually clean it out and let it heal. If it's really bad, or if I think it's really bad, I'll tell someone around me and ask them if, in their opinion, it's as bad as I think it is. If it is, or no one is around, I'll go to a doctor or *shudder* a hospital. Thankfully, I don't have it as bad in terms of injuries, severity or frequency of, as I used to.

Mentally? I'll usually vent. Anger is easier to deal with for me than sadness, and usually if it can my mind defaults to the former. If I can't be angry and get it out through ranting, killing video game characters, hitting or throwing a pillow or something else like that, I'll usually cry about it for a while and listen to music to help get it out. I'll wear myself out emotionally and then go into some fictional world or another once I'm done, and then the thoughts will usually leave me alone for a day or so.

Okay, thanks guys. I hope you've enjoyed your laugh. I know I have.

I'm autistic. I have been all my life. I don't think the folks who preyed upon me while I was here have autistic related disorders. There are many here who are because I saw them. True auties and aspies don't prey on the vulnerabilities and weaknesses of others. And diagnosed or undiagnosed shouldn't make any difference. I think the cruel, sarcastic, mean-spirited people here are fakes. It doesn't read autistic or aspie to me in any way.

Who is "true" autie/aspie really is a funny way to put it. It is known that empathy is difficult concept for auties/aspies, it is also known that auties/aspies are blunt, and speak what is "true" to them. Empathy really is a concept that is difficult for MOST people, it's WHO they empathize with that is the actual problem. NTs often don't empathize with the autie/aspie plight, and the reverse is also true. Could it also be true that auties/aspies with different difficulties have difficulties empathizing with others on the spectrum? Could it also be, that harm, even if deliberate, was caused by something unrelated to you? Sometimes the issue is perception, what others see/don't see, sometimes is the imcomplete picture, and action/words are not actually intended, as the ENTIRE situation is not seen.

I think I know what's going on, and I do feel for you, this situation happened a few days ago, correct? Just know that people who hurt others are not all powerful. It is the abuser that has much to hide, and will abuse for reasons not pertaining to the abused person, but demons inside.

No, I'm not talking about one person at all. I haven't seen all aspies be as you describe either. I don't think I can be in these kinds of exchanges anymore.

Thanks for the thoughtfulness of your reply though.

I meant well, just in case any of this pertains to me.

If you believe that, read what you wrote again. I don't think so. I don't let people like that bother me, however, so don't worry about it.

Please go find some other bug to squash. I'm out of here.
