thanks! I was wondering about the pink. At rise it was a beautiful pale gold. Turned to silver when I looked away. Never saw pink. |

One time, before an ultimate Frisbee tournament on a very hot day, after a brief warmup my team drank some water to make sure we began hydrated. One of my friends drank too much water too fast and he felt too sick to play and missed the first game. I'm pretty sure he was fine after that, though it w... |

It feels a little insulting that they put this in the "Lifestyle" section. I don't think HFA itself is a health problem, but the stress of almost always going against the current and upwind with inadequate support does lead to health problems. Perhaps they'd get pushback for putting it in ... |

The OP describes my online experience perfectly, except I have about half the followers. My partner says people like me, but it doesn't feel that way, either IRL or online. My therapist says that people experience a lack of response as a negative response, a blank expression as a negative expression... |

Hey there. Thanks for posting this. My oldest son will turn 16 soon, and your post was a good reminder of what challenges he'll be facing soon. It can be so easy for someone like me with a beat up old body to forget that being young wasn't so hot, either. They say youth is wasted on the young, and w... |

When I'm burning out I get sick all the time, too. Sometimes it runs the normal course of a sickness, and sometimes all I have to do is sleep all day and the next day I'm fine, but it feels the same at the beginning. |

Thanks for posting this. Burnout is what brought me here. I have all the symptoms of burnout, but without the high-stress life. Which meant no one but me takes it seriously, making it worse. However, realizing that I've been masking, the picture makes a whole lot more sense. (still no one takes it s... |

Thank you Magz, that's very helpful. I'm trying to sort that stuff out right now and this is a perspective I hadn't considered, but makes a ton of sense. |

One of my cats has 8 claws on each forepaw. Proudly polydactyl. He weighs 16 pounds, most of it is fingers. |

Congratulations on your new job. I've found that team sports keep me just social enough, and helps me form bonds that there's no way I could or would otherwise. Now in my 50's I find it a struggle to leave the house, as sports make my body hurt. The obvious answer for me is to pick up something else... |

I read that quote three times and checked the link and read that, and this article still makes no sense. The main point, however, seems obvious. They have no idea what the f**k is going on in our brains, and they're not willing to spend the money to figure it out. With such a wide and noisy spectrum... |

Thanks for sharing this article. Some books and articles I've read have a bit too much "I'm special" for me to consider sharing it with an NT. I shared this with my S/O and said hey, this stuff looks helpful and I think pursuing it further is a good idea, and they said they were tired of m... |

I've had 2 kinds of TMS, one which helped more than the other, but I think they both helped. For some folks, the clouds part and love and peace shine down upon them, but for most folks that I've read on reddit, and for me, it was more subtle and gradual and took longer, too. I was nervous before the... |
