Discombubulated (Experiment)

pietro_21

Hi All,


Homebird mentioned the weather in her recent thread. This post is to do with low pressure. Which is very (although not unseasonably) low at the moment.


I experience quite extreme feelings and moods (sometimes body pain) on days when the air pressure drops though late autumn and winter. The last week has been really hard. I know a lot of people experience migraines. I just wondered whether anyone else felt discombobulated when the weather is like this.


I’d like anyone the the uk with ASD to conduct a short experiment on themself if you are in the UK from this evening 6pm until this Thursday eve if you can please tell me how you feel as there is a big low pressure drop happening. The pressure is going to be dropping heavilly from 1000bar on Sunday evening to 975 bar (very low) on Thursday night. Some people may be seriously affected by this drop. Please record and changes during this time. 


I'm interested to know if other autistic people become extra sensitive, or irritable, or tired, hungry, or depressed? All observations relevant.

Thank you 

Parents

  • I have the opposite. I feel great in this weather. In the summer when it’s bright, warm etc, then my mood gets lower, I get more irritable and crave darkness.  It’s like reverse SAD.

    I'm not sure you would want it if you had it Pietro, I suffer with summer SAD too, the lethargy is terrible, I sweat so much, I lose to much salt and fluid, I get bloated because I'm drinking faster than my body can cope with. My head rings, my joints especially my knees and feet swell and are painful. I sometimes have difficulty swallowing anything and have to force myself to drink, eating can be difficult. Sleep can be almost non existant, I have an extra large cooling dog mat to put under my bottom sheet to keep me cool.

    If all the above wasn't enough, people get angry with you, they want to go out and do stuff and I can't as it's to hot and I don't have the energy. Sometimes I'd like to do these things too and I can't, I can't even sit in the garden, the sun feels like hammer blows pounding me into the ground, my eyes ache, I can't wear sunglasses because they slide off due to the amount I'm sweating. I feel dizzy because my blood pressure crashes, I get rashes and everything bites me.

    People and medical people in particular, even alternative practitioners don't believe you and everybody thinks its depression. Well wouldn't you be depressed if you had all that lot every year with no answers or treatments, only disbelief?

    Then next person that tells me its really bad karma to react like this to sunshine, is going to learn exactly what bad karma looks and sounds like!

    Over 30 degrees I can’t go out. It’s more to do with intensity and UV. We live under a giant radiation emitting ball of fire. Comet️
