    Same.

    Also I get to share my hobbies with them. We got a d&d group, we paint minis and play video games together. Which is stuff I’d do anyways.

    I also picked up inline skating as my kids do that all the time and just standing there while they skate was boring.

    Plus I still got hobbies as does my wife. Yes there is less time but we have each other’s backs so everyone can have some time for their own interests like once or twice a week.






  • It’s either obsession or bust for me. But that’s with everything in life almost.

    Currently obsessed with silk song too. But then it could end any second.

    I didn’t game any video for almost two years prior. Like at all. Excitement suddenly gone.

    I went into board games and trading cards instead. It’s really annoying sometimes to lose interest after so much investment of time and money and emotion.

    Brain is weird man.











  • I haven’t had that. I also mask because I want other people to not be stressed out or lose energy because I can be a bit much.

    Knowing where some things in my head and some issues come from has mostly helped me to accept that some things sometimes I cannot change. So I don’t beat myself up about them.

    But I’ll still keep trying to do my best to remember things and not be a dick for neuro normies. That little bit of masking isnt all that hard anyways.




  • Nope, I’m dead.

    On a serious note, they stalled long enough for me to be able to call my mom. It was the middle of the night when I called and I didn’t want to wake her up. Not like my mom would prefer bad sleep over loosing me. But that’s not how the depressed mind works. So they kept me on there for several hours until I called her.

    That was many years ago and after therapy and lots more I’m doing really well now. Way better than I thought possible for a long time.
