Hey I'm Lolly. I'm 23 and have autism and a few other things which drs felt I might have, not sure I agree with a lot of it but it's okay. They did try to give me pills and therapeutic sessions but there was no way I was ever doing any of that. I don't like going out and pills always give me bad tummy ache. I haven't left the house for 2 years now, nearly 3. My mum and dad don't like it and are always telling me I should go out and get some fresh air. But I have bad anxiety and get panic attacks, last time I went out I had a really bad one, thought I was going to die. So I haven't been out since and I don't intend to ever again. I'm happy inside my room, it's my safe space and I feel happy and safe in there. I have my toys and have so many movies to watch, I've also been checking out MI High on iPlayer which is one of my favourite TV series ever! Lol I could watch it forever, and probably will. I thought I'd come here because though my mum and dad are amazing and supportive they don't really understand me. They try to put a lot of pressure on me and that makes me stressed and anxious. I also feel lonely, I have no friends or anyone else to talk to, definitely no one who understands me.
So hello I hope we can be friends. ^-^
I need to watch Star Trek at some point. I’ve been meaning to for like 2 years. I watch a lot of Doctor Who mostly. Also I looked at your profile and yeah, Lego’s pretty cool
The original doctors had more substance definitely, have you seen another life on Netflix?
You have great taste! Gotta love Data! Also what other Sci-Fi do you enjoy?
Ha ha thanks, I think!
I like Data, so funny
Yes I have seen both, there both really good I think! I also watched doctor who but not so in to the newer ones
Not a geek... Well maybe a bit ️ but hey that's not a bad thing, absolutely love star trek! Ever watched Babylon 5? Or the new series of Orville?
Firstly welcome!
I'm sorry you get anxiety I know that feeling. It sucks at the best of times. It's great you do go out though, that takes a lot of courage so you should be proud of yourself
I find people and interaction confusing, throws me every time.
It's great isn't it! I could watch it forever...
Ha ha, umm I like colouring, listening to music, looking up videos of space! I'm a big fan of star trek the next generation. I think I may be a bit of a geek haha
Sweet that's so cool!
1st one of series 2.
Hi, I’m Abi. I’m 20 and I’ve been reading a lot of posts on here but I related to what you said the most. Although I do leave the house, I get extreme anxiety about everything and I really have to hype myself up to go out. I completely get what you said about people not understanding you, I feel that so much. (I also used to love MI High when I was younger, it’s such a good series!!)
So apart from watch MIHigh what else do you enjoy doing?
I used to have to go to the job centre but it triggered anxiety so now I have people come to the house to meet and that's how it is now. Much better for me and my anxiety.
How do you get benefits if you stay at home?
I'm on universal credit and I have to attend face to face meetings every week with my work coach at a job centre. It's a nightmare.
Thank you cookies (great name by the way)
I hope your ok. I know being in this situation can be hard and lonely sometimes.
Thanks I'm always here if you need to chat as well.
Or vent
Thank you Desmond!
Oh wow so cool!
Do you know what episode?
Thank you!
I hope I will.
I'd really like that.
Thank you aidie I will have a look at the videos
Yes literally haven't been outside for years.
Mum and dad do shopping, I'm finished with education thank god and I've been on benefits last couple of years.
But hopefully in time I'll get better and be able to go out as I'd really like to be an actress!
So get what you mean though. I can't socialise either.
