I'd say 2-3 months. We really aren't willing to experience a full person up front. We want to get to know them but it's never the real or full them at first is it? Nobody feels comfortable actually being themselves during the first month of a relationship.

Which I think shouldn't be the case

relationship has helped dramatically but people insist it's illegal to be in one until you yourself are flawless emotionally and mentally (lol).

And even if I started talking to someone today we wouldn't be at the stage where expressing all of my anxieties to them won't cause them to run away for

I also really need to find something to help me figure my head out. I get most of my issues boil down to dysregulation of one system or another but what can I do to improve that?

Friends help but they have their own lives and shit going on. They can't be here for me 24/7. Nor do I expect that. A

First day back to work after 9 straight days off. Traffic sucked for a Monday (I guess there was someone blocking the road or the like that was moved before I got there) but it didn't suck as much as it did the week I was last there.

Turns out, we really do need friends.

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

It sure seems like this is something they specifically set out to do. Personally, I hate waking up angry

WHOOHOOO!!! I told you modern psyches were better than they used to be. I assume that means they increased that one medication we were talking about?!?

Did you numbness improve at all?

Simian Industries @simianindustries.bsky.social · 7h

Oh the joys of feeling resentful.

I'm not sure how some folk seem to thrive off of it. It makes me feel guilty for feeling such negativity to someone I otherwise like. Much akin to a red hot steel ball dropped into my stomach.

As if psychic damage was real and I was capable of it

Fingers crossed you get an appointment in the next day or two.

Do your best, don't force yourself if your hand is super numb. Focus on getting through to seeing your doc. It could be transient. If you need an infusion you won't be going into a hole over it. Pinky swear.

filter out people who want kids when I don't? Or people who vote Republican?

The entire thing is so frustrating. I'm not allowed to be myself because NT rules say I'm bad and should feel bad. And there are no third spaces to meet people anymore. And the idea of being harmful to others kills me

Simian Industries @simianindustries.bsky.social · 1d

won't flip out on them. I will respect their wishes. I won't send them dick pics they didn't ask for.

A low bar. Sadly.

And now these days the features I relied on with dating apps are pay walled. At high prices. If I don't get any replies this time why the fuck would I spend another $75 just to

dating websites. You know EXACTLY what you're both there for. If a women replied to me it's because they wanted to. There's few things I love as much as a woman who WANTS to talk to me. Who WANTS me to talk to them. Friend, girlfriend, coworkers, it doesn't matter. It means they feel safe with me. I

contribute to that. Yeah consent is sexy, and no means no, so if I'm told no that means I stop whatever I'm doing and respect that. But I also know that it's easier for them obfuscate their want to disconnect to avoid possible danger. Because men are often a threat to women.

Which is why I love

brains.

I struggle with loneliness because I struggle with making and keeping friends. I don't feel comfortable flirting with women becuse of past trauma with girls in HS making their friends feel like shit at my expense. And fact is women get attention they don't want 24/7, I don't want to

started to look at myself, hung out with two friends this last week for the first time in 5 years, started losing weight, that a lot of stuff is coming into perspective.

"You have to be happy single before you can love anyone else" -bullshit I was told growing up by people who don't have miswired

It's strange to be having to relearn about myself at almost 39. My AUDHD is an ancient diagnosis but until recently I didn't really think I was ASD.

Being single for four years, losing my dream job, jump starting my career, all without friends and family kept me occupied.

It's only now that I've
