I have autism, depression and I’m currently being assessed for ADHD. when i was in the psych ward in August, they put me on 50mg quetiapine because i’ve tried every single SSRI and some others, like venlafaxine, propranolol, etc etc, so they put me on quetiapine as a last resort. I’ve been taking it every night and it’s the first time in my life I’ve ever slept properly and I look forward to going to bed, as I know I can knock out for a long while. The thing is.. i’m worried it’s too good to be true. where i live, it’s virtually impossible to get any sort of therapy or support other than medication.

Hi guys! I'd like to know if there's any way I can do a thin long high ponytail without it breaking my hair off or hurting my head. I purchased a very heavy ponytail but it hurt so badly! I bought a shorter but thick ponytail but that hurts too. I currently use braiding hair to do a long plait but i'm not feeling it anymore and want to switch it up. I can't use the braiding hair for the pony because it's too fuzzy and unrealistic.

I stumbled across a post that someone had made for activism to spread awareness about the abuse that goes on in farms. silly me expected humans to have basic empathy or respect for an innocent animal that did not ask to be here... instead, i was faced with lots of pathetic attempts to make jokes about this tiny animal’s suffering. i feel enraged to the point where i genuinely wish these people would drop off the side of the world and never be seen again. imagine how sunny and happy the world would be if it wasn’t filled with these evil minded scum… i wonder how it feels to know that you’re the reason the world is such a shitty cruel place. to murder a defenceless animal when you’re meant to be the “superior” and “intelligent” being is barbaric as it is… but to then JOKE and mock this tiny defenceless baby is just sick in the head.

sorry for the rant but i cannot get my head around these people? i try to imagine how it must feel to be an intelligent animal with the potential for life and knowing that literally no one around you cares. these humans are true evil and they need to go

just wondering how you guys manage to stay positive while suffering socially and struggling each day to interact with other people. it’s mandatory for a lot of us and incredibly lonely to hide away forever. i desperately want to work out at the gym and i’ve been attempting to go for a year but i just walked there and left straight away because other people are in there and the awkwardness consumes me. im left hating my body and my lack of accomplishments.

as i get older, im feeling really sick of shaking with anxiety every time someone looks at me or having to stare blankly at my phone when i pass someone on the street. as much as people love to pretend that autism has no negative traits, this is unfortunately the reality of a lot of it and we can become burnt out or suicidal after dealing with the weight of this for so long. it’s a long cycle of attempting to socialise as required, then facing the consequences of it.

anyways, i trialed every meditation but they didn’t help my socialising. i also used to take valium like it was nothing. every single day. i realised my tolerance got too high, so i decided to trial life without any medication and see where my social skills are headed. it doesn’t work for me and i feel my mental health getting worse with every interaction. i feel like an insecure 9 year old child but instead, im meant to be a functioning adult. my brain tells me to just start drinking every day or take valium but that’s not a viable option, so what is? what medication actually helped you guys?

Hi everyone, I've been going to the gym for a while consistantly now but I really struggle to eat properly and get in the right amount of protein to see any gains.. I'm trying to lose weight and get leaner, as I'm high bodyfat right now after years of eating carbs and not knowing about protein. I have a slow metabolism too, due to medication that I'm on and my recommended amount to lose weight is 1300. I find being vegan so overwhelming because I find it's not straightfoward.

even googling for recipes stresses me out because they make 800kcal recipes with 15g protein.. there's nothing for super short people like me, who need to eat lower calorie meals, whilst maintaining high protein.

PLEASE recommend some simple recipes for me! I'd never quit being vegan but especially being autistic and ADHD, it's even harder for me to cook and eat properly.
