Yeah, I guess my experience is coloured by my autism. And being autistic, myself, I've attracted other's, in that like attracts like way. I think I have reasonable EQ, myself, now, but, I've had to work at it, solidly, as a muti faceted education via many channels for many, many years. I think...

Praying for you, too @Recovery4Me. ❤🙏

Gratitude

So great! I'm in a stable relationship too. It's the best! Thanks for sharing your success @Simply Simon.

It's flooding here. My bloke is stuck in the middle of a flood. Sigh. The world is so divided. Sigh. People like me who "love God" are, somehow, the enemy. I'm highly intelligent, but, I'm sooooo glad I'm not an intellectual. I'd rather be a social misfit than fit in with all the cultural...

Yes and no. HIQ often accompanies low EQ; emotional intelligence. So that doesn't really give us "HIQ" individuals any social edge. Just a propensity to research the hell out of what went wrong and why we took the turns we did. Because of the overthinking, I think we can bask and bathe in any...

I suspect, everyone, is, actually, a weirdo, some are just more skilled at hiding it than other's. Any "boxes" can never encompass the sheer and awesome complexity of an actual human being. We are awesome like that.😁🤪🙃 So all the boxes are merely approximations to guide and direct treatment...

Yeah. I got the ASD HIQ CPTSD thang, also was misdiagnosed as BPD but that was while long term heavily embroiled with a Cluster B type dude (I had a shitetonne of offspring with him). I don't have the time nor brainpower to comment further along these lines, ATM, but, I'm following the thread...

and paradigms

The love

I can so relate to this. Sorry you jave had to be dealing with it. Thank you for sharing though. It's helped me make sense of what's going on with me and find a little more compassion for myself. 🤗 @pamcoco

I LOVE spicy curry! And made some two nights in a row! Wednesday night it was a chicken curry, and last night a indonesian peanuty fish curry "Penang". Thank you for the complement re my mothering @Justmehere 🙂. I have put my all into it. I can see the proof of it, best, in my daughter's, who...

I did work while I had small children still, for a while, it was very hectic. Music wasn't very compatible with being a Ma though, and it wasn't a good living. But my ex was a musician, so it suited him to have a singing, I wont say girlfriend or wife, coz I was more like his slave and...

Thank you @Friday. I did take a benzo, half a benzo the night before to sleep and it worked. Just waking up the tears started again. The writing helped A LOT and I texted my friend and sorted things out with him. Things are really good with him now. I even ended up telling him my DX coz he...

I realize that I... can fly off the deep end sometimes. I try hard not to, but sometimes longstanding traumatization gets the better of me. Feeling humbled.

I'm so embarrassed. Luckily I'm at home, by myself, but, it has to do with a old co worker, who turned up in my life after 28 years. We used to work in a band together, we toured together. He doesn't/didn't realize what a narcissist my ex/the band leader is and it's put me in an awkward...

Connected by phone with my old-but-newly-back-in-my-life used to be a co-worker but now friend. Had a sing in my shower and didn't worry about neighbor's hearing.

But now

I've had several miscarriages, that were traumatic, too, and I can relate to how difficult and heartbreaking that is. I'm truly sorry for your losses (and my own). Also on the un-empathetic and abuse that can be experienced from a partner or husband. That was really awfully handled, on his part...

Not meaning to highjack or anything, sorry if it seems that way @AnnieMae, I do understand, all the loss and betrayal is unbearable for as long as it is, until it isn't. I'm sure you'll get there in time, not trying to be glib or flippant, at all, but, I'm finding if I don't perpetually paint...

I was that sad, lonely, frightened, hiding-in-the-library-and-in-a-book girl, too. I really empathise. Maybe you can register how much patience there is for you? You have all the time you need to explore all your feelings and memories and experiences and find that love that there is for you...
