I remember when I was a kid, if someone was in therapy, people talked about it in hushed tones, like it was a shameful secret, and now people talk about it casually in every day conversation. It's good to see that things can change, even if it's just a bit.

Alright y'all, whenever I see something funny, I save it to show you all, but then I forget, so now I have a small backlog. So, here's a couple of things to give you a chuckle, and feel free to share a couple of your own if you have them!

Why would a rich famous guy marry a 34 year old woman? If you started immediately you MIGHT be able to have two kids. And she’s publicly had sex with a ton of guys. Despite her wealth she’s very low quality for any successful male. Just seems weird and almost like he’s a L= Why would a successful man want a middle aged woman who’s always on tour? Is it...could it be...because he’s gay? Underneath all that nonsense is a lovely picture of Taylor Swift mentioning that she's 34

Personal update for those who are following my house saga:

Our twins and our agent saw the house. We FaceTimed from Oregon. 👎🏻 Big disappointment. We’ll explore more homes when we get to BC. Not expecting to buy anything this trip.

Why yes, I am already packed, and yes, we did already walk Hammy.

I'm bursting out of my skin.

This could be a huge deal and an unusually lucky break on finding a house... or a total bust.🇨🇦

Let's concentrate on the lucky break part. We WILL make this happen, and the house WILL be as good as it seems in photos.

We'll know Saturday night. I'll post Sunday.

Til then, I'll post from the car when connection's poss. & from hotels.

I'M SO EXCITED.

Silly Story Time:

My husband has always been scared of spiders. If a spider needed removed I would be the one to deal with it, as I've always admired their work. For whatever reason, spiders love our Bathroom, and there always seems to be one or two in there no matter what hubs has tried to keep them out. So, I started naming them, I called one Henry, and I told hubs that he was really social, because every time you'd sit down on the toliet, he would pop out of his hole and just sit by your feet until you were done, then he'd crawl back. Another one would crawl out by the wall when you'd shower, and I told him that was Henry's wife Helena, and she was kind of a pervert, because she liked seeing people naked, but Henry didn't mind, because he liked them freaky. Whenever we would come out of the bathroom, we started giving updates about what Henry and Helena were up to. One day they disappeared, and we were both kind of sad, but last night hubs comes out of the bathroom, and says, Come look! He points to the wall by the toliet, and there is a little spider, and he says, Henry, he had a son! We are very excited about this development!

I had to get Tom to come and close the bedroom curtains for me as it felt beyond me. Ridiculous, I know. I did manage to clean my teeth, which is major challenge when I feel like this. I really hope this low mood only lasts days, not weeks or months, my mood cycles are usually quite rapid but who knows. I’m heading to bed now, thank you for all the warmth that has been shown towards me on here today 💜

Apparently, rewatching television shows and movies a million times is an autism thing.

That's me. 🙋‍♂️

@actuallyautistic
I often hear about temperature dysregulation, but I don't think I experience that myself. Rather, I experience sensory sensitivity to heat.

I was wondering how this manifests in the community. Are you sensitive to cold? To heat? To dryness? Humidity? Or are you generally dysregulated? And what does that mean for you?

I just had my 2nd session since realising my autism, the 1st since 5 weeks with my partner with his family. So mainly a catch-up & info dump. Will clarify goals next time.

In the past therapy has been about me info dumping & them validating, helping me to clarify & a few strategies, but I struggled with clear goals.

I feel so much clearer now.

Previous therapy focussed on the impact of external traumas, the loss of loved ones, sexual assault, divorce etc, but ignored my internal pan that wasn’t explained by those traumas. I learned a lot that was useful, but so much was left unexplained. I was still in survival mode.

She reflects back & asks questions to confirm, clarify & express her understanding, & her very expressive face helps with that. I used to feel that I must look the therapist in the eye for the whole session, but I now allow myself to look out the window.

The waiting room is dim lights, soft music…

I used to feel that I had to work hard to convince the therapist, to get them on board with me, to understand, & maybe to like me so they’d be motivated to really work with me.

I think that having a somewhat better understanding of myself means I’m much clearer about boundaries, & that helps soooo much.
