Hello Ellie your little green light has gone on.
Hello thanks Spotty. Good to have contact again! I am slowly improving day by day. I am eating small amounts and getting up. This morning I managed a couple of chores. It seems Tom has made a decision and gone. Hopefully he will get the support he needs through work and his other online contacts but am sad to see him go. I like your analogy to peeling off layers. I think I feel discovery is like that too. How was your weekend? And your injury?
I agree that the traits have always been there but they were so well masked that they weren't visible to me. The last few months have been like peeling an onion always finding another layer of complexity and I still find it quite mind blowing that I never realised all of these obvious things about myself.
Hi Misfit, I thought it was my phone/computer playing up yesterday as I just kept getting error messages, from your comment and the lack of activity I guess the forum was down. Glad you made it through the weekend and hope you are feeling a little better. x
Uh oh why did I not see missy was here,I must be losing it? I have been asking where you were missy,I hope your feeling a bit better now.consider my earlier reply to include you. A shining lite in my darkness,No I am not a moth thank you very much ha ha.
ok miss Ellie yes I am flying over the moon right (like a moth)now,my daughter visited and has left baby here for a while for my wife to look after!! Amazeballs.
just call me Betty boop.
big hugs and cuddles to missy as you other two already got yours.()()xx()() ,awww go on then I have buckets of them today xxxxxx()()()().
Sorry to intrude! Hi spotty and Ellie.just popped in quick but both of you need not feel invisible! I see shining lite whenever your near.
lites of my life.
If it were not for you I would be talking to myself,erm well I do that anyway Lol.
big hugs and cuddles.() () XX.
Thanks Missy....both are an interesting and depressing read.......I turned 40 and became invisible! - What a skillset we have!! Do you think that is because we don't cause any trouble....we struggle or hide away...we don't complain...just fester down a hole feeling lonely - :(
Now.....have you eaten yet today.
Morning Spotty, I have the same thoughts myself...but it seems a shame that we feel that to be happy and safe that we have to live secluded lives.
I lived on my own (with my son) for a couple of years and was lucky enough to be financially independent...I had my own space and lived in one of a secluded string of terraces which were all occupied by single women...we respected each others space but also looked out for each other. This was after my first marriage broke down....it was a good healing space.

And you, I think I look for affirmation too from anyone and everyone but I'm starting to think that if I had an income I would be happier completely alone. A bit Georgia O'Keefe. My insecurities are centered around money unfortunately.
Hey you! I think the Aspie traits have always been there but the hormone ouch has meant that our usual coping and masking strategies can’t cope so well with it x well put Spotty xx be kind to yourself xx
