Today my therapist told me that there is a positive choice and a more negative choice to make in any given situation

But I find that hard because I go for the choice that makes me feel most alive

So is that positive or negative
Idk


Although there is that little thrill from standing on the edge of death.
That's both positive and negative.
Rollergirrl ought to be familiar with that one.

Yeah that's what I mean

It's confusing because my therapist made it sound easy but it's more harder than that

There's more to it than the therapist has told you. It's the story of my life. Somebody says something and I think "it's not that simple." It's odd because having ASD I'm supposed to be the black-and-white thinker but I'm not, I'm a very nuanced thinker. That's why I make very long posts as a first reaction. When I can be bothered, I edit it all down to something simpler so people can take it in, but I always think I've thrown out a lot of the truth that way. Detail is important.

Well it was all in a text message because he's away on a break and he did say at the start: to put it very simply

But when I speak to him I can ask him properly

Text messages do cramp the style a bit. It's like Twitter used to be before they killed it.

He said "oh babybird the more positive choices are more difficult to recognise and this is the basis of the therapy we've been working on"

I didn't know this detail but that's ok

Had an intense inner searching session this morning.
That my back of the head felt rather strained at the moment.

If I were your average person, I'd panic that something in my head felt like it's burning.



It's one thing witnessing myself back into a 1st grader, being enthusiastic about all sort of old things most kids like to try and discover, with me stepping in and showing the modern advances.

Or to for said child to run to my dad after getting disappointed at me for not stopping the sneezing -- then hear my dad, telling me he loves me and express regret because of his carelessness of his habits, along with other memories like him and mom fighting.
And of me telling me of things that could've, of things that is being now and of forgiving.

Then I dug deep enough, that whatever possible lifelong (and hopefully reversible) neurogenic induced crap I'm investigating, my biggest life nuisance is automatically visualized as some sort spiny lobster latched on my upper spinal cord.

Digging the inner child and the subconscious is fricking weird.

I think so

I think I'm noticing a difference with this stuff compared to the other stuff

My normal one makes me more calmer

Ah right, yeah.

Medication is a delicate balance, often.

Yeah because they said it was the same but it can't be because I have to take it different to my other ones and I know that it's affecting me different

I've got to wait until Thursday for my new prescription so I'll be back in my normal ones on Friday

I have untreated ADHD. I tried medication once for my diagnosed ADHD and it sent me loopy and put me off ever trying stimulants again.
