Things are crazy now. I think we are all trying to stay healthy and maintain sanity as well. I thought I would start this thread so folks can check in and discuss how they're doing. I want all my BIC friends to be okay. I will kick this off with a first post. Take care of yourself lovelies.
Iโm really sad to hear this friend ๐ค I donโt think our hospitals are at that point again. I have hope for your friend. I recently just had to have emergency surgery at a hospital in the city you live in and they discovered some not so great stuff that Iโm waiting on the biopsy results for. So I totally hear you. ๐ค๐ค
I'm so sorry to hear this, @GG84. I hope you get better news when you get the results. ๐
@GG84 You're absolutely right, our hospitals are okay, I was just projecting my omicron worries but I shouldn't since there's so much we don't know! I hope you're recovering from your surgery swiftly and your test results turn out to be fine <333 Sending you lots of scented good vibes. Thank you for thinking of me, you're in my thoughts as well <333
@GG84 - I'm sorry to hear about your surgery and biopsy! I hope your recovery is quick and the biopsy news is positive! I'll keep you in my thoughts. ๐๐
Iโm so sorry to hear about your friend @pocketvenus. Sending positive thoughts and prayersโค๏ธ
@pocketvenus - I'm sorry to read about your friend! Best wishes to her. You and she are in my thoughts. ๐๐ I'm scheduled for my booster this Thursday.
@Titian06 Thank you <333 There's still a lot of tests to be run so we don't know how serious the situation is yet. I'm really hoping she caught it super early which is common because our province has a pretty decent screening program. The treatment tends to be straightforward with a very high success rate. And thanks for sharing your booster news!!! ๐ฏ๐
@pocketvenus Sorry to hear about your friend. My friend went thru chemo last year during the pandemic and this year the doctors are trying to put her in a clinical trial because whatever they gave her did worse not better. Weโre praying together for our friends get through it. ๐๐น
@blackkitty2014 oh no!!! Cancer treatment can be so brutal. I hope your friend gets better๐ฏ
Well, how do I put thisโฆ. I havenโt been dealing well with my parents deaths and sought out a private psychiatrist cause Iโve been an utter mess (and the ones through the public health system have a waiting list of nine to fifteen months) and just havenโt been able to readjust to life and daily activities or even function. I've been diagnosed with and have had asd1 and adhd all this time and what I was really experiencing was autistic burnout. That explains why Iโve always felt weird and like Iโve always been missing something i just couldnโt place. Autism tends to present differently in girls than it does in boys. Weโre better able to mask it, hide our ticks and stimming better due to how weโre socialized from a young age. My hyper interest in makeup even went undetected cause who doesnโt love endless makeup and skincare advice or makeovers? I had no idea and have been trying to get treatment my whole life being told I was just a bit depressed or anxious and that I needed to try harder to form bonds and attachments to overcome that depression and anxiety. And I have tried and succeeded to some extent in being social yet Iโve struggled in doing so. I make and try to maintain friends because being a part of a social circle makes me happy and gives me a sense of belonging but itโs also mentally exhausting deciphering social cues and trying not to mess up with social nuances which is why I periodically go MIA ( what I call hermit mode).
Iโm still processing and learning what all this means to/for me but thought Iโd share.
@heartsmyface Iโm glad you finally got the correct diagnosis. I know you got this. Sending all the good vibes your way ๐น
@heartsmyface I'm glad you've been getting help and your new diagnosis is making more sense for you โค๏ธ You've been through a rough time, please keep taking care of yourself!
@heartsmyface sending hugs your way! I work with a wide range of kids and adults on the spectrum and they all present so differently. Iโm glad you were able to get the right diagnosis and are heading to happier and healthier future you. I think we sometimes forget to be kind to ourselves and feel pressure to fit into whatever roles weโve fallen into 24/7. Itโs definitely ok to take a break from that pressure now and then. Here on BIC we love you no matter what! XO
@makeitup305 Thank you for your kind words and also for all the help you provide to the asd community:).
I'm sorry that you have gone through such rough times! I'm so sorry for the loss of your parents. I lost my Mom during this time also.
You were brave and sought the help that you needed! That's awesome, really. Not everyone would do that. Not everyone would share their situation, either. You are a very special person! I'm glad that you are so positive and that you have found some answers to the questions that you have had for so long! Hugs to you! Always in your corner!
@tsavorite Awww thank you. And big hugs to you. I hope youโve been coping alright?
@heartsmyface @My condolences for your loss. Iโm glad you found someone to talk to who is helpful. You definitely have a lot on your plate. Iโll be keeping you in my thoughts.
@heartsmyface Huge hugs. I am so sorry you have been dealing with so much alone. I am always here to talk if you need someone to talk to.
