hi guys, i'm doing a personal archival project of everything naked brothers band related, something i'm stuck on is the countries it aired in & whether those versions were subbed or dubbed. if anyone not from a mainly english speaking country could let me know if it aired in their country and the timeframe (obviously i know some people won't remember) and whether it was subbed/dubbed it would be very appreciated :)

i know it aired in japan, korea, greece, italy, latinamerica, spain, germany.

dubbed in japan & germany & latinamerica (and also italy i think).. haven't been able to figure out if korea was dub or sub. all help would be appreciated. even if it aired on other channels that weren't nickelodeon! (honestly especially if they aired on other channels, please drop the name of the channel. that is also very interesting to me) :)

In the last 2 days I have just been so anxious. Please tell me it passes. how long does it take to set in. I have propranolol and stuff but it wears off after a while. I'm also losing my appetite

I've been thinking about this a lot. I'm 24NB and was diagnosed with autism in 2024. During my questioning to find out if I had autism, they asked me a lot of questions about my thoughts on relationships. I know autistic people definitely do run into more issues with sexual and romantic relationships so I understood why they were asking me, but honestly I'm looking back at my answers and realising it might be more connected than I thought. For context, I am bisexual and I am sexually attracted to any gender, and I value platonic relationships a lot. Although I experience sexual attraction, I wouldn't ever act upon it with another person. But I still have the attraction so that's why I identify with that. On the other hand, I do not ever want to be in a romantic relationship because it just doesn't make sense in my head. I have no romantic or sexual trauma btw. I have parental trauma but I don't even think that comes into play here.

I feel like as autistic people we are expected to do so much that "everyone else does" and especially in a relationship it feels like everyone is always expecting so much. This is hard for me to explain, but I love my friends dearly. I talk to them all the time, literally everyday, with no pressure to do so. It just feels natural. I have been in a few relationships (one IRL and a few online) when I was younger and it was a very interesting and intense feeling for about a week, and then it just completely fizzles out and I get overwhelmed and don't even want to do it anymore. I remember distinctly in all of these relationships feeling an immense pressure to always message them, and just always focus on them. I can't do it. And I hurt them in the process because my feelings fizzle out so quickly. (Everything is all good now, I'm literally still friends with all of them years later).

I genuinely think my brain is not built for that (and that's okay) I was just wondering if any other autistic people experience this. I have identified as aromantic for a few years now and it feels very right for me, but I have been thinking lately maybe my autism links a lot with how I feel about this topic. Which is fine, it's just an interesting thing to explore with how our brains work. I think that I will live a happy life having just family, friends, and my interests. I don't want other people in my space. I don't want to focus on one person otherwise I feel like I'm being held at gunpoint.

I also feel like a relationship would take away from my interests and I can't do that. Like I will disappear for hours to go do stuff about my interests and with my friends they don't care that I'm inactive for 10 hours, if I was in a relationship I could not deal with having to tell someone what I'm doing 24/7. And I know someone is gonna comment "but if you find the right person it won't feel like a chore, you might find someone who won't put that pressure on you" I think even without the pressure I still don't want it. In the words of Whoopi Goldberg talking about marriage, "I don't want someone in my house".

I started buspar 2 days ago 5mg x2 a day. I take them at 9am and 9pm. I honestly feel really good anxiety wise, I know they take a few weeks to actually feel the full effects but idk if it's placebo but I feel like I don't even have the capacity to worry physically anymore. I'm ok with the mind stuff but the physical anxiety is my issue! Anyway I wanted to know if feeling deep palpitations when moving around and sitting down etc is normal. Only started getting them after starting this. I have googled and seen it's a common side effect, but I would like to ask for some personal experiences. Does it end up going away? It seems super helpful for me so far so I'd hate for the side effects to become too much of an issue.

On monday I went to the cinema. I never go out because it's too anxiety inducing and I powered through despite all of the anxiety but a few hours after I came home I had a massive crash and just a wave of anxiety, nausea. For the past few days I've felt on edge.

I tend to go to "public events" once a year as it's something I feel proud of doing. but the leadup is so cruel. I get so excited which manifests as anxiety therefore just keeping me in a loop. Well I booked tickets to go see the Michael Jackson movie tomorrow because I love him a lot and have been waiting ages for this movie. I'm going with my dad and sister and am super scared but even if I can't do it I am not mad about losing money. But I'm always under pressure of disappointing people. Even if I pay for it myself, I still made my dad drive there, I still made my sister come with me and she's a busy 16 year old. I'm trying not to think of the negatives but it's so hard. My agoraphobia is caused by emetophobia by the way so it's like an awful loop of anxiety and nausea. I know realistically I am fine and I will not throw up. Yet it's so scary. Wish me luck everyone. I've been on here a few times sharing success stories of going to the cinema two years ago and a "childhood songs" party with my sister last year and I've been very proud of myself for those moments. Really it's just the waiting and knowing I am going to do something that keeps me scared. I wish I didn't feel the feeling of anticipation. Because excitement, nervousness, anticipation etc all manifests as fear to me. I struggle a lot. But oh well. I will let everyone know how it goes.

UPDATE! I went and I was okay!! I got a bit anxious in the middle of the movie but other than that I was pretty much fine. I'm really proud of myself

I am 24, and I live in the UK. I have a credit card (it says debit on it) and I have had this credit card since I was 18. So the entire time I've had it I have been over age. When I try to verify that I'm 18+ it says verification failed. Why isn't my card working? I can't use any other form of ID as I don't have a passport or driving licence because I am disabled and don't go out much.
