not coping

@outlander, sounds pretty similar to me. There might also be other causes of sensory sensitivities apart from ASD. Have you ever looked into Highly Sensitive Person, maybe that would resonate with you?

i suffer from BPD which causes intense emotions so it could just be that-emotionals spiralling and my brain cant handle it

i also cant wear tshirts-only singlets and i cant wear jumpers only jackets. shirts and jumpers literally overwhelm me and i cant stay in them.

im speaking to my psychologist on wednesday via telehealth so i think i might mention it. its becoming more prominent and people are starting to notice around me as well so i think i need to try and work on ways to manage esp in my line of work.

im suppose to wear tshirts but i cant (my boss is ok with unreveiling singlets thank god) and clients are constantly loud as well so its overwhelming

@outlander, I think it would be worth discussing with your psych. BDP does cause intense emotions, so I would be surprised if the sensory sensitivities are related, but I don’t know enough about the link between the two to comment. I see my sensory sensitivities being related to ASD and being a Highly Sensitive Person. Being sensitive to clothing can be frustrating, I feel you. I don’t do well in certain fabrics, especially those itchy ones. I prefer breathable fabrics. Tags can be so be so annoying. I hope your psych can provide suggestions on managing these sensitivities

thank you @creative_writer
ill chat to her about the high sensitivities as well

How are you doing today @outlander?

having abit of a rough day @creative_writer

@outlander, I’m sorry. What’s been happening? 💖🫂

nothing really in particular @creative_writer just struggling with being at home all the time. reinds me how much i really dont want to do this caring role anymore and i want out of this house.
pop keeps making fun of thr way i talk and sound which doesnt help.

hopefully i can be back at work this weekend if im finally negative but i still have symptoms so i dont know if itll be this weekend.

im struggling alot with finances as well. i feel like im drowning in bills but i cant do anything about it just keep paying off debts.

@outlander, it sounds like you have a lot on your plate even when you’re unwell. I hope you do feel better soon 💖🫂. I feel like the cost of everything has spiked up and it is hard having to pay everything off. Sitting with you, hon

i dont get to be sick even when i am actually sick. even while ive been struggling with covid ive have to make sure pops taking his medications, eating, drinking, showering, entertained. cooking meals for him and trying to do some washing.

i had to go out today to pick up groceries so i done an online order and all he had to do was get out of the car and just put the bags into the car so i wasnt near anyone but that was to hard for him and i had to get the worker to help put stuff in the car. his dementia is getting more then i can handle but theres no one that will help when covids around. even his support services wont even come to the house for 15 days so im stuck with him all mext week as well now
