donthatedontkillI'm often at a loss for words for things happening inside my body. Physical things, emotional things. I wish I could express them to you but I've not figured out how. I feel hope and despair at once. I feel alienated and overwhelming compassion for people. The words I use juxtapose them but inside me they are one. What should I call these things? (We can talk about physical stuff another time.) <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@actuallyautistic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/actuallyautistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#actuallyautistic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/feelings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feelings</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mentalhealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mentalhealth</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/buddhism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#buddhism</a> (?) <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/alexithymia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alexithymia</a> (?)

Silver ArrowsThis one: *Difficulty identifying/remembering faces.I don't know if it's because I don't look at faces much (in person as opposed to on screen, pictures, etc), but I find it very hard to learn faces. I can't even tell if a customer's ID photo is actually them.I didn't realise it was linked to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/alexithymia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alexithymia</a>.Alexithymia & autism guide: <a href="https://embrace-autism.com/alexithymia-and-autism-guide" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://embrace-autism.com/alexithymia-and-autism-guide</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@actuallyautistic</a>

josh susserThis <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autistic</a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/alexithymia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alexithymia</a> is so hard to deal with sometimes, especially when I'm under a lot of stress. For me, it can take a while for an emotion to register as a physical feeling, and then it's also hard to understand the connection between the physical sensation of feeling an emotion and the emotion itself. Much of the time I feel sensations that make no sense and appear to have no cause.A lot of what I go through these days is that I see something upsetting, but I don't immediately feel it in my body. Then some random amount of time later – minutes, hours, days even – I suddenly feel sick to my stomach, or I get the chills, or something equally mysterious. And I have no idea what it's about, so I worry if I'm getting sick, or if something else is wrong. I'm just starting to be able to notice when this happens, and understand that this upset stomach might be about something that upset me a while ago.I know this is just another confounding part of autistic sensory and emotional processing. But it's confusing and exhausting and I wish it wasn't like this all the time. No wonder I stim so much these days - I have a lot of shit to process and my body needs some relief from that. <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a>

Dr. David KimhySocial support has been linked to numerous positive clinical outcomes in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/schizophrenia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#schizophrenia</a>.

donthatedontkillI don't understand what I'm feeling. Depression? Exhaustion? Heartbreak? Maybe even fear? Dissatisfaction? Something just isn't quite right. I'm not sure what to do about it because I don't know what it is. It's so subtle I can hardly hear it but it's constantly there.

Libre :neurodiversity:Today I have learned to identify what my shutdowns feel like, as I am abnormally down and in a state of reduced functionality after a distressing moment earlier and it is not going away with coffee/tea/etc.I'm surprisingly functional yet not functional in them, sort of like my meltdownsWould love to just curl up in a blanket in a bedroom with no one around and just exist for a while without obligations, but hey life goes onI actually experience these a lot, I wish my alexithymia let me realize this is a distinct thing sooner<a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AutisticShutdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AutisticShutdown</a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Alexithymia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Alexithymia</a>

It's just that the doctor programmed him with massive <a href="https://mas.to/tags/alexithymia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alexithymia</a> in attempts to avoid his previous mistakes.

Libre :neurodiversity:It's wild to realize that sometimes pain doesn't cross the threshold for me into actual "this feels like pain" but might just sit in the "my body feels uncomfortable" territory because <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Alexithymia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Alexithymia</a>. ...and then I pop a lower acetaminophen dose and that discomfort goes away. So you mean to tell me I am actually ouching a lot of the time and I don't even realize it?

Libre :neurodiversity:Weird <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> dynamic after a self-diagnosis a year or so ago: I think I am melting down slightly less. I only say slightly because now I know I am having the meltdown and know I am getting to a meltdown point now, and they're just unavoidable. But I think a part of it is that I have <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Alexithymia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Alexithymia</a> and I would not realize I was getting to the point of needing an <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AutisticMeltdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AutisticMeltdown</a> to re-regulate, so I would just reach uncontrollable boiling points a bit more frequently by virtue of not realizing I am getting mad and doing something about removing myself from the triggerThat said, with the awareness I am now actually accepting of the meltdown and leaning fully into getting the emotions out now instead of trying to stifle them, and I am recovering from dysregulation way faster now which is nice (a day or two instead of stewing over it for a week), and obviously avoiding triggers more often.Makes me feel that Autism education is very, very important to people newly diagnosed, self-diagnosed or questioning. I don't think I would have learned the skills to improve my life like this without the internet communities and resources out there.

eazyI mean, I don't know how I am feeling in the moment. <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/alexithymia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alexithymia</a> How does one modify one's feelings if you don't have a clue what you are feeling? Like I don't know that I am hungry in the moment. It'll be an hour later, and given my analysis of bad behavior, "you know, I think inwas hungry?"

Mx. Luna CorbdenAlexithymia:I think I experience shame and anxiety in almost exactly the same ways. Much of what I think is anxiety is really shame, and I've been trying hard to unpack that the last few years, but nope, they still feel the same. It would be useful to know the difference, because the best steps for attending to these feelings can be different.I once knew an autistic girl who couldn't tell the difference between hunger and anxiety. This is a common form of alexithymia, not just being unable to know what you're feeling, but mixing feelings up.I am often good at knowing how I'm feeling due to habits I formed attending CoDA 12-Step meetings in my formative years in the mid-90s. They had a spot on the sign-in sheet to label your emotional state. It's a good habit.But I do have alexithymia blindspots in many areas, and still have old habits of minimizing. "Anxiety" is the generic dumping ground for many of my negative feelings, probably.<a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Alexithymia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Alexithymia</a>

Elisabeth MDespite <a href="https://mas.to/tags/alexithymia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alexithymia</a> I've learned to notice how I'm doing, and this week, signs point to Not Well. (Getting out of bed extraordinarily difficult? Opting out of making & eating food? Feeling like a phantom phasing in and out of reality? Occasionally the impulse in my diaphragm to roar or shake? I am still feeding the kids at least, and cleaning the house as I can.) The thing is, I don't know why.

Sasani 🐧 I'm finally (re)posting an intro post! I'm Sasani, and intro posts are tough for me, but my partner gave me lots of helpful advice. ♥ (my first intro post was like 2k words long, so probably a bit much xD) Goals for joining the void: - Make actual friends despite my social anxiety and other difficulties socializing. 😰 - Find cool people to follow with similar interests. - Share gaming screenshots? 🎮 - Probably other stuff? Current RL goals: - Work on the bajillion writing projects I have. 🖋 - Make some friends! - :revbunhdheart: Dote upon my partner. :bunhdheart: - Dust off the math part of my brain and work towards learning more than I knew before. - Learn python, java, or something. - Spoil my partner some more. She deserves it so much :sparkleheart_hotpink_light::sparkleheart_hotpink_light::sparkleheart_hotpink_light: Before I list defining features/things about me I'd like to point out a quote: "To define is to limit." —Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde Essentially defining what I am can imply things I am not unintentionally, but a general list is still of great use to present a basic idea of myself. A brief list of things that define me, but not an exclusive list as I have possibly forgotten or omitted something: - Autist - Interoverted with social anxieet - Multiple interlinked symptoms from disabilities which can become exacerbated or flare up randomly or if I overexert myself. - Alexithymic/Alexithymiac (not sure which of these words I like more) - Transfeminine, demigirl, etc. I want to be cute. - Still figuring out sexuality (more complex than initially thought) - A writer: science fiction, fantasy, aaand some spicy scenes usually. - A gamer: FFXIV, X4: Foundations are two of a very long list of games I enjoy. Special interests: - Space, spaaaaaaace: Anything space-related from movies/media, games, fiction to science news and reading research papers with pretty numbers and graphs I cannot comprehend fully quite yet. - Science: More following science news an reading the occasional research paper on topics that pique my interest. - Vampires: Though I've researched folklore and mythology regarding vampiric-type creatures from multiple cultures, I enjoy media or writing about those that are not pure monsters, don't sparkle, don't follow any folklore or mythology, and have deep inner struggles. Other interests: - Bollywood/Indian movies: A movie that can make me get sucked into the plot, laugh, bop to cool musical numbers, then tear my heart out and make me cry is an amazing thing. - Fidget spinners: A recent addition to my interests, but my collection is growing. Spiiiiin. - Music: I cannot survive without music. If I'm awake and at my desk, there has to be music. - Kinks? Yes. - Polyamorous/Ambiamorous (gravitating to poly the more I think on it) - ∞ I'll probably go into detail about a few things in some posts, but this covers the basics. <a class="hashtag" href="https://void.lgbt/tag/actuallyautistic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://void.lgbt/tag/disabled" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disabled</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://void.lgbt/tag/alexithymia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alexithymia</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://void.lgbt/tag/queer" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queer</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://void.lgbt/tag/lgbtqia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lgbtqia</a>+ <a class="hashtag" href="https://void.lgbt/tag/trans" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trans</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://void.lgbt/tag/intro" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#intro</a>
