As a neo-pagan my favorite goddess to work with would be Hestia- Goddess of the Hearth and Protector of the Home

It's very very dark and not something I want to think about

A lot of anti terrorism (prevention) efforts involve education fr poverty struck areas n ppl. Sponsored by countries n UN and funded even by America

I know. :| It's related to the political interest of the military–industrial complex. :skull:

I'm hating totally that I'm emotionally often kind of clueless.

I don't like being emotional.
No matter how socially preferable it is, and no matter how well versed I happened to be in such manner.

I even wished to be more alexithymic, to be more stoic and in control, just like certain types of autisms do.
But I'm not.

It never helps being in a culture I was born into to try an aspire otherwise from it.
It's like trying to be worse than socially blind, while being already socially blind myself.

As per my 1st psychologist - alexithymia doesn't make u be in control. It can contribute to worsening the emotional state whioe unanle to know why or pinpoint it and have it come out as meltdowb or shutdown or frozen ferling. Can contribute to phobias. Emotional understanding using logic n trying to match emotions to reactions n multiple times a day documenting emotion from a list n why..was a big part of overcoming my agoraphobia with CBT..
CBT was impossible without it
Just to say there is a good deal more to work with n have CBT be more effective if u logically n over time find the pattern to feel and know ur emotions .
It helps in improving other things n has to b a continuous effort

There are no patterns as far as I'm aware.

And as I've been aware, I've already realized to be alexithymic isn't the right path to go to.
I've only recently trying hard to accept this sensitivity.


My own emotions... They're unpredictable by itself. Even from others.

I end up concluding it's more of a physical-hormonal kind than a psychological one, after trying to track my states and situations for the last 6 months now.


My psych changes yet it grows, I know how to break from cycles. I'm sure deep down I'm past due and much more.
It's frustrating that I cannot express it that way.

Because my body and it's states and reactions changes just as much, but it never been as resolved.
It's this part I'm trying to cope and trying to figure still... Yet also those around me tells me it's a part of being female -- instead of considering it might be more than just that.

I may like hot weather, but definitely not extreme heat.

It’s not the heat that bothers me so much as the humidity, and in Kansas, heat usually comes with high humidity.

I think that squirrels are beautiful animals. But domestic cats can be even cuter than them.
I also think that mice and rats are rather sweet and cute than ugly and disgusting. But rather not cuter and sweeter than meowing animals.

I can have something like poverty of thought quite often when I am with the laptop. I prayed quite a lot last days and it was not so difficult for me.

It seems that though I am biologically female, my autism presents itself in a masculine way. This means I don’t really fit into either the “male autistic” (because I am not male) or “female autistic” (little in common, usually can’t relate at all) groups. This is one of the things that really makes me feel agender, neither male nor female - and I suppose I am in almost every way except physical body.

My body has a hard time dealing with cold weather, so much so that 60 degrees F feels like freezing to me. I almost always stay dressed/covered up from head to toe.

I also love shirt collars (like on a dress shirt), and I love them big and I keep them buttoned at all times. Right now I am wearing a long sleeve shirt with a big collar that seems to be out of Shakespearian times, in the way it's squared off in the front, and the fold down part is closed and extended that way from the top button (the shirt is a couple sizes bigger than my size, and pinning the band part of the collar with a strong saftey pin to close it up tighter causes this effect)

To me it gives me the feeling of being one with the intellectual greats (I've always been a Reinnaesance(sp?) and medieval buff, and it looks a bit like something from those times. More importantly, it keeps my neck (and my body) from getting too cold. I feel it also looks neater and more respectful than leaving it open.

Yeah! dont think of gender presenting itself in any way EXCEPT the body if that . For example I dont understand when someone says 'she was very feminine' that isn't a descriptor surely?? :?

I hate it whenever someone tells me to behave like a gender stereotype. :x
