Whole life flashing before my eyes since diagnosis!

Emerald

I am experiencing a constant stream of memories from my whole life, several decades of it. So much misunderstanding, judgement and rejection, and now i know why i have always been 'weird' for other people. Any big stress and i would talk about myself too much. I have felt so much shame for doing this.  Contrasted with my 'normal' persona which was ultra polite, kind, helpful and 'such a good listener' and, i now see, not 'me' at all but an adaptation to try to belong, i guess others were confused and put off by me. 

Does anyone relate to this?

  • Yes the numerous injustices flash up for me all the time. Being kicked out of my school after being bullied for years comes to mind. It’s not your fault and you are not alone. If someone has to tell you you’re weird (which has happened to me at work in group situations) it usually means that they are a. Insecure, b trying to assert their vapid character onto a group or you c are most definitely neurotypical and closed to possibly. In which case don’t go there. The only power they have is the one you give them by reacting to them in such situations. I can relate to everything youer saying. We’ve all been made to feel this way for so long as a result of attempted preconditioning since we were young. These neurological people are so pathetic they go for children’s sweets Laughing . Don’t trick yourself into believing you need to become anyone else but yourself.
