My son excels at imaginative play, of all things. (He hasn't been officially diagnosed, but I suspect he is neurotypical.) I love him dearly, but he is mentally exhausting. His sort of play is utter chaos and requires getting ALL HIS TOYS spread ALL OVER THE HOUSE. I don't mean a pretty magazine...
I'm not even going to attempt to write a story about what happened to me since my last update. I mean, my last post was Pre-COVID. Ah, to be young again...
Anyway, here's a summary of the last three years:
- hypomania
- relapse
- lost job
- started writing
- recovery
- new job
- stopped...
I would hope that anyone into Science Fiction knows of the works of William Gibson. His novels are always based on the relative states of politics, technology, and society, in the time they are written. It takes the socio-economic and political tenor of the times and projects forward from it...
I need a place to process and it might as well be here. My mother died about a week ago. She was 78, tired of being alive and basically asked us to stop all diagnostics and treatments. It's fine.
My daily life behavior is concerning to me though. I can't really grieve normally. I can't grieve...
My mom is ill with vertigo. They don't know the cause yet. I hope its nothing bad, i sort of couldn't process what happened when my dad explained today.
I Wonder what will happen to me when my mom dies. I don't have any friends, siblings or close relatives. My parents are all i have in this...
James stood in the driveway wishing he were a plumber once again. He had been a darn good plumber after all; he had single-handedly run the waterworks of an entire Navy base and never had even a complaint about his work. With his feet glued to the driveway, he thought longingly of the days spent...
Alice had celebrated her 100th birthday yesterday, most likely a Monday. She didn’t really keep track of the days so much anymore. It’s not that she had trouble remembering, it’s just that it simply didn’t matter as each day was more or less the same. The prescribed days of the week did not...
I saw someone that went to the same college as me. Same class. It made me remember how horrible those days were. I had no one and i was constantly scared not knowing how to act. How to make friends how to pretend.
I was so depressed and emotionally unstable. Sometimes it feels like i never...
An anime from my childhood is back!!
I didn't imagine Bleach being back would affect me so much but it did! So many memories, that show was my formative years! All the characters i related to, all the feelings and relationships, and and!!!
I am just so happy and excited that its back! It made...
Do you ever notice random smells and end up thinking about them for what seems like way longer than you should? Maybe this is just a me thing, but it happens a lot. I'm not sure if my sense of smell is more sensitive than everyone around me, or if I just pay more attention to smells. Anyways...
Hubby says a big reason he is acting like this is a sense of futility because I say "do x to fix it" and from his perspective he does x and it doesn't help.
"Help" = it ends the conflict entirely.
I don't know if the issue is on his end or mine. Some theories:
1. He has a much longer...
Self care is telling my son "I have to save my ears for the fair. I won't be able to answer you right now because I am saving my brain so I can help you at the fair since it will be very loud."
And doing it without guilt.
I love my kid enough to love my brain enough to titrate my sensory...
She hears the rest of the world saying that they are the normal ones. Somehow she doesn't believe it. She wonders if she ever will. Maybe others are the ones who are strange. How can they understand social norms, metaphors, similes... and politics?????
The rest of the world is a mystery to her...
Historically I don't do journaling etc very consistently. We will see.
I envision this to be a space where I can talk about cool stuff. And hopefully a place to bring my intense feeling self. Because I am married to an autist that has more classic symptoms he is overwhelmed by my emotional...
I only ever wanted to feel safe but never did not even as a child. I knew i was different and dirty and always made to feel like that. I am not surprised that i imagined my parents were not my real parents and that my real parents have died in a fire. I never felt close to neither of them and...
I originally posted this on the writing forum I'm on in honour of the Feast of Saint James, (July 25) I'll edit it slightly to remove anything stating that today is his Feast Day.
Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and asking something of him.
Who said to...
