The only positive thing I can think of that is keeping me from losing all hope, is knowing that if 2 people are so in love with each other and shit gets in the way of being together and you blow up at each other from YEARS of pent up issues, there's only 2 options. Their relationship becomes too fractured to repair and they are never the same OR they admit their feelings and begin a life together. There is no gray area there. From what I can tell, they are at the point of no return. It's that intense. And we know they go off together at the end, so that means they admit everything and get together. Caryl is coming.

Yes, obviously they are going to get their happy ending after facing a few more obstacles. I just really don’t want one of those obstacles to make me question everything I love about Daryl’s character, whether there ends up being a plot twist down the line or not. That’s the part that I am struggling with. 

Logically, you would think a massive fight where they are both being open and honest with each other would force them to reveal their true feelings, but I always figured the show would intentionally hold off until the last season.

Social Anxiety

▫️◽▫️◽▫️

The worst feeling is wanting to be excited about a party or get together but remember that that means you have to interact with others and sometimes force a smile. I myself would be perfectly content in the corner of the room alone with my thoughts and just exist. It's like I want to be there with everyone yet don't want to be there, does that make sense? 

Some ppl are just social butterflies and can talk to anyone about anything! That's not me. I wish it was but it's not. 

I am not a drinker by any means, but if I could show up to any get together about 1 beer deep I'd do just fine. But that's not logical.   

Then heres the kicker, theres the other part of me that can't stand when someone is being left out. So I feel the need to always include them in any conversation possible. They could be a total stranger to me but I can't sit back and watch others have social anxiety... so i'm throwing myself into the pit of my social anxiety. Ughhh. It's a never ending cycle I can't get out of. 

Any tips for social anxiety?

The universe is a little less lonely with you.

I am always the bad guy.

You can never do wrong.

How nice it must be to be as perfect as you.

Maybe I will learn to be perfect too.

My emotions are hot then cold.

Mind is constantly racing.

How do I become "normal"?

I need some positive stories... autism and burnout... help

I just can’t find the right place to post this. I’m in a (generally very nice) autism Facebook group, but what I hate about posting on Facebook is that my full name will be attached to it. It’s a private group, but it still bothers me. I feel I can’t be very open in discussing what’s on my mind.

Those who have been following me for a while probably know that I have been home for 6 months now, attempting to recover from burnout.

I am looking for some positivity, because in about a week and a half I will be sent back to work again, and I don’t exactly feel confident about that yet.

So, I wonder if there are any fellow auties on here who have (positive) experiences with coming back from burnout. How was it for you? What helped/helps you?

I see a psych every few weeks, and I have a couple of self help books that they recommended to me. I find it very hard though to apply it all though. It’s all stuff that I feel I’ve been doing forever already, and it never really helped.

Anyway... positive vibes and stories would me much appreciated!
