Yeah if my current relationship fails (not that I think it will, just if it does) I'm done, it's all D&D nights and cats from here on out lol

That's what I love to hear!! That's my hope!

I think that's what took everything from me as well. I just lost my stamina, and more than that I lost my desire to connect with a lot of people.

THIS, and a lot of the time the people who called me gifted were the same people who sneered at me

I've been making just tiny adjustments, and they have made such a difference already. What a relief.

I've been reading about this, and really doing a deep dive and thinking about the shame I've been feeling more than anything and crying all week long. I'm so embarrassed that I can't remember peoples names or what day of the week it is or what time it is. It's like this daily shame

I am so sorry! Or maybe glad? I'm not sure!

But isn't it a relief? I am looking at all the shame I've been carrying around

I have never once had a good response to antidepressants! Not even once. I thought it was because they were something fucked up with my body as I'm very sensitive to meds (lol another ND trait)

YES SAME And I guess I held that belief until the last few years because you have probably seen me rant about how disappointed I am in people in general. Some days I just can't keep it in.

And by the way, this also explains my terminal online-ness. I love people, but find them very exhausting in person sometimes

I am currently unfamiliar with this dynamic but I bet if I go read about it, it will make complete sense!

That's one of the most fucking depressing things I have ever learned in my life

I cannot even begin to tell you the sense of relief I am feeling at this. My emotional dysregulation was increasing, I was spiraling out and getting more physically sensitive, I've been burned out for years, I'm just so grateful for everybody here and elsewhere who pointed me in the right direction

Oh, you mean my side helping of anxiety that unexpectedly went away when I started taking antihistamines?

A whole life of getting wasted at parties because it's 20 minutes in and I'm already completely overwhelmed but I know I can't leave and plus I don't want to because there's people I haven't seen yet so I just reach for the booze to dial it down. Absolutely classic behavior I now realize

Oh it's one THOUSAND percent a factor, I have a whole lifetime behind me of getting suddenly "depressed" out of nowhere and canceling all my plans, being completely unable to leave my house, and just staying in bed reading because I can't bear to interact with people
