Sunday Coffee and Chat -- 23rd November 2025

@MissGremlin literally same here!! Dealing with the heat just makes me go insane, even more worse when it’s anything over 28/29 degrees!! 😂 a cold desert would be a nice thing to have during this weather but I am thinking on what I would like to have for the rest of today so we’ll see

Hope you’re doing ok my friend. I saw your responses on the ‘battles’ thread yesterday and so sorry you’ve been going through it all. I’m glad that the colouring you did yesterday had helped you ground from it! ❤️ your colouring looked amazing!!

@Blackcloud oh I hear you, I hear went outside to hang up the towels and the heat was ridiculous.

Thankyou sweet, I'm struggling at the moment but I just had a phone appointment with my gp and he's given me another medication to try and a number to call so that i can hopefully get some support so we will see how it goes. Thankyou ❤️. It was nice to do some colouring and I've missed my gel pens.

@Shaz51 thanks hon. My uncle passed away on Saturday morning so I haven't been around much.

I hope you have a good week xo

@Glisten she certainly looks like she wants to turn back time 😆

Hi @Blackcloud I'm unsure who I'm talking to atm. 😁 At this stage I don't know if you're male or female or roughly what age you are. You were talking about your mental capacity. Should that mean anything to me regarding communicating with you? My partner is on the spectrum also. Bless you! I hope your day has had sweet daydreams! 💛

@heartathome oh when i say 'mental capacity' I mean as in more like having energy mentally if that makes sense... i don't think that means anything regarding communicating with me? but i am a female, currently in my 20s

@REDLINEZ750 💛

@Blackcloud Okay. I've got it now. I understand why you are daydreaming about being with someone. You are so young compared to oldie me! I do remember some of being young and wanting someone to love and be loved by. There is always hope Blackcloud. My partner and I have been together for 22 years. He's different to anybody I've been out with before. He is loving and caring but he can get on my nerves at times. As I do to him! He's a hoarder (we don't live together) eccentric and a unique man! An annoying and beautiful mixture of a man. He's in his 70's now so I didn't meet my prince (kissed plenty of toads) till I was in my late 40's. I like hearing about your daydreams. It's nice to meet you properly! 💛

well i was a mile off the mark @Blackcloud somehow i thought your work in the help centre was a retirement gig thats why you were volunteering and also you have a maturity in your communication that prceeds most that young i say this respectfully

@REDLINEZ750 @heartathome I'm unable to like/support both of your posts as it won't let me do it haha, so I will just respond!

@heartathome is there really hope though? 😂 its hard being autistic in a world where very much everyone assumes that what you show/display to them matches a certain personality that they assume you are. also, it's hard for me to really trust anyone these days considering how my connections with people are like (and were like in the past as well) but then again it has never been easy at all for me to make such conversations long-term in order to maintain friendships, even when I was a baby/toddler. being neurodivergent, your brain wires differently. The things you've mentioned about your partner was very lovely to read, and I'm glad that he's with someone like you who loves and accepts him for who he is + him being loving and caring as well!! ❤️

@REDLINEZ750 ohhh haha do I? I guess being on the internet plays a part of that too so that I can get to read some posts of other peoples stories and knowledge regarding said topic that I'm interested in knowing about whether it'd be on reddit, instagram, twitter etc. so that I know what to expect and know about before I try to prepare myself for the possible 'worst' for the real thing. If it wasn't for social media, I wouldn't be able to gain knowledge and perspectives about a wide range of topics that I do now.
