Derealization Signs & Autism

Derealization is always something that confused us a lot. We were always seemingly unaware when it happened since we thought it was normal, but mostly because we only say people constantly describing it in the same way: "It's like the world is not real."

But, because we are autistic, this was not the way we needed to hear it, so we brushed it off as something we didn't do.

So, here are some signs that you are derealizing written in ways that would have helped us out better:

You know it's real and you feel connected to your body, but the world looks foggy, like you're looking through glass.

Objects look normal but do not feel "right" in some way.

Colors feel too sharp or dull.

Sounds are different in some way (i.e., too loud, muffled, disorienting, echo, etc).

Touch feels delayed, or like you are feeling things through gloves.

The world feels unfamiliar, like you're in a deja vu state instead of in a place you are in a lot.

Lights feel unfamiliar (I.e., too bright, or dull in some way).

Emotional reactions can be delayed, even when you are happy, but it is as if your reaction arrives late.

Time feels different, like it's too slow or too fast.

Also, keep in mind, some of these could be summed up to sensory problems, but derealization is not a sensory issue. Instead of feeling overwhelmed or underwhelmed by sensory things, you feel disconnected from them.

You should also keep in mind that autistic brains like to try and solve the experiences they are having, but as ironic as it is, checking your symptoms and scanning yourself mentally can keep you in a state of derealization longer, so be careful!

Derealization is a protective response from your nervous system. Going through this is not a bad thing, it does not make you a failure and you are not broken.

I hope this helped someone :)

Pre-menstrual depression is always depicted as like "He He! I had a box of icecream bars and cried while watching the Titanic!" But in reality, it's more like, "I'm standing the edge of an abyss. There is nothing good inside of me, I'm filled with rage and desperation."

It's crazy that being told how to deal with that is never a part of anyone's menstrual sex education.

This has already been said in the notes, but if PMS causes extreme depression and even suicidal ideation, that is in fact something that most people do not experience and it can be treated

Like for the majority it really is "oh i'm hungrier and moodier than usual"

^this should be a part of sex education so the point still stands

I went to my doctor after I was walking to work one morning and saw a bus coming and actually took a step to throw myself in front of it before I pulled myself together. Later that day I started bleeding and was literally like someone flipped a switch and I didn't feel suicidal anymore. Which made me feel like I was loosing my mind because who goes from 'I want to throw myself in front of a bus' to 'I'm perfectly fine' just like that? I did some research, I went to the doctor and described my feelings, he looked me in the eye and gently asked what I thought it was, I said I'd read about PMDD and I thought it might be that, he said 'I think so too' and wrote a prescription.

If, before you get your period, you feel furiously angry, suicidal, irritated by every tiny thing to the point you want to murder someone, stuck in a black hole you'll never escape from. If you are experiencing extreme emotions for what seems like no good reason, especially if you get your period and those extreme emotions just go away. You're probably not just PMSing , you may have PMS's feral big sister PMDD and it's treatable.

Also this is something that can develop as you get older. So if you used to get normal PMS but what I wrote above sounds more like your norm now then don't just write it off as regular PMS.

whoever thought of selling cracker cut cheese is a genius, and whoever at the local grocery store decided to sell them for the same price per ounce as their block/sliced/shredded cheeses rather than upcharging for the convenience is an angel

btw if you are friends with someone and you have the kind of dynamic where you can tease each other you also need to be nice. just so we're all aware. you also have to be nice with your words on top of it. like with your words. use your words. you should tell them with your words when you like something about them. if you are scared of being too sincere or vulnerable that is not an excuse to not be nice to someone. also you should work on that. ok are we all on the same page
