Im undiagnosed. However I do have very high functioning anxiety, depression, ocd, and inattentive adhd, and ive had a rough childhood and had to survive on my own early, so as a result of the combination of those things ive shown alot of autism traits including the lack of social skills, because I had 0 close connections through elementary, middle school, and high school, which are key developmental periods. Uni hasn’t been as bad but it’s still a lot lower than the norm of my age. Plus mental health. So as a result I tend to be highly logical, lack social ability and try to be on my own more due to bad experiences with people.

However, autism is bullied so much in 2026 that I really hope I dont have it. Its taken as a joke. Its used as an insult, and some people even use it as a substitute of the r word. If someone does something weird, disgusting or unacceptable? They say "oh that guy's probably autistic". Im just scared i guess. No one makes fun of ADHD but people definitely make fun of autism and some people view them differently in a negative way.

It’s the best shift. Worked it at 18 and I sometimes still miss it here and there, it even improved my mental. but can’t do it anymore since I’m in uni

Night shift doesn’t always mean depression.

Even strict diet didn’t help me ngl, idk what to do now. PPIs don’t help, gaviscon advance aniseed UK doesn’t help. . Even 9.5 ph alkaline water does nothing. If even gaviscon advance with a 1000mg sodium alginate raft isn’t working, then wth is going on?

I got my LPR from laryngitis then it just turned into reflux just like that. I didn’t have any prior signs of reflux. I was lean(still am), and I was losing at least 5000 calories a week from my job at the time(physically active). The job was vocally intensive too, and it was winter. My clinic doc said a teacher he knows got the same condition as me where nothing works for it, same winter as well, so I wonder if it’s a weird, complicated laryngeal injury.

If I didn’t go to work that week I may have not even been in this sub. It’s the laryngitis that started it ontop of my stressload. Then it just stayed there and my throat became sensitive.

0 digestive or GI issues. My symptoms are ONLY throat irritation, raspiness sometimes, and post nasal drip. ZERO GERD symptoms or anything below my throat. Almost no throat clearing either.

Obviously I don’t drink coffee or any beverage other than water either. For months and months. All strict diet does is make my LPR not feel like muscle tension dysphonia, but makes it feel like just throat pain instead.

It’s so weird too. I’d get triggered from whole wheat crackers, yet Walmart’s deli fried chicken tenders and even samosas don’t hurt me. Sometimes I eat my classic safe foods and get triggered from that too. Glazed Donuts are my biggest trigger.

I wonder if it could be laryngeal hypersensitivity or LSN.

I wonder if I should be talking to an SLP instead of trying to get an ENT(takes at 6-18 months). Last time I went to an ent they said my vocal cords move perfectly. Then diagnosed reflux because he didn’t see any MTD. So I don’t know. I’m suspecting LSN.
