There is extreme pressure to avoid this in public, I simply can't. And yea, parents made me stop a lot. I really wish my parents had taken me to a doctor and got a diagnosis.
I knew I wouldn't be able to just be done with it forever, but I hoped to make it longer then like 10 minutes. I really just wanted to see where I was at with stimming. I don't need to give it up immediately or anything, but the item I usually do it with is kinda falling apart. Doing it with other things isn't as effective either.
I definitely agree :comrade-raccoon:
Do you have an example in mind though?
Thank you. I'm really looking forward to it getting better.
Glad it didn't work out, its good having you here.
That's the dream, isn't it
Its somewhere, let me find it.
autism (a bit sad)
I was thinking about stimming earlier, so I looked up some information on it. I didn't really understand the line between NT and ND stimming, but overall thought mine wasn't that bad or often. A few things I did were on the ND list and the ones on the NT list seemed really mild, but yea. Not bad. I just have this one particular thing I do a lot, that I need to quit. Hmmm, lets try not doing that for tonight and note what happens.
I started crying and doing all my other ones. I don't understand why I am able to not do it for a few hours/all day if I'm out but when I'm alone I need it. The idea of giving it up is deeply upsetting, but I have to for a few reasons. I have not discovered anything as good as this. I feel very emotionally immature. Like a child. spoiler really sad now I feel like I'll never be as good as normal people because I have autism. Like I'm stunted. A child. :::

you begin to treat your body like it's just something to be appraised or exchanged and care more about its value than you yourself
This concept really hit hard for me, for a lot of reasons. I need to think about all the ways I do stuff like this and learn how to stop. I have been doing a lot of things for approval for a long time. Thank you.
And yea the definitely do.

Maybe its just me, but I grew up sheltered and had it built up a lot. Just as good as I was hoping though, hope she enjoys it.
I sure hope so.
