| In my experience I feel a lot better mentally being around people more depressed & unstable than me. I've tried various things to work on myself though plenty people thought I was not trying & I like being able to use my negative experience to help others. I guess being around people more h... |

| We've been friends since we were young teens, and he's always been depressed in some way. I'm on my own mental journey and as I learn something that helped me, I would share it. He has done a lot at this point (gym, better diet, therapy, meds), but he is still suicidal sometimes, and at this point, ... |

| Hey, I'm in an exactly same situation now :) My mom is an extreme narcissist (grandma was even worse of one), I always get silent treatment, and after some days she will break down and shout that I don't care because I don't try to apologize, when she's acting so immaturely. I'm in college, I'm doin... |

| To be honest, this would be a dealbreaker for me. I’d probably break up with him. If he’s invalidating you in this way, he could invalidate your feelings/experience in other ways. It’s not cool. He should be supportive and at least willing to learn about autism in order to understand your perspecti... |

| Hey, I was recently diagnosed with ASD (for context, I'm F19) and I covered all the test expenses by myself, which I worker really hard for. I never identified myself as autistic without a proper diagnosis before, but now I have it and it feels as if people don't take it seriously, especially my boy... |

| I dont want to live either. I've had suicidal ideation my whole life , I think that is even listed as a symptom of ASD I'm sorry to hear that. The problem with autistic people is that even going through medication therapy and attending psychotherapy doesn't solve the problem long term. We still fai... |

| Sometimes I fantasize about escaping to an uninhabited island or another planet with other autistic and neurodivergent people and leaving the NTs behind. But I guess that'll never happen. I very much relate to this. Since I was a kid, I've always dreamt of living in some area with few to none peopl... |

| I'm sure most of autistic people had this terrible feeling of unworthiness. I believe that I went through a lot of challenges, as other ND people did, but sometimes it feels like I don't do enough. The world is so cruel to neurodivergent people and sometimes I just want to be able to think like othe... |

| I have a big problem with establishing deeper relationship, not mentioning intimacy. I very much can relate to this. What worked for me was being unabashedly myself. No more masking (it gets exhausting anyway). Eventually I attracted someone who understood me, someone who I was able to actually est... |

| Don’t have sex until (or if) you feel ready. It’s perfectly okay to wait. It doesn’t make you less deserving of love. Sometimes it feels like I somewhat make progress towards accepting it, but whenever my s/o becomes more assertive, it feels terrible and considering that I'm taking antidepressants,... |

I recently started dating a guy who doesn't have any mental concerns whatsover and I can't help but feel like I'm nothing but a burden for him. While I have pretty good communication s... |
