me: “i’m so good at masking”

also me: *staring into the void with a blank face, noise canceling headphones on, fan on full blast, chewing on chewlery, and stimming by picking at my skin*

I bought polymer clay with my birthday money (18 now raaaaah) and immediately made tiny Pyro

It was NECESSARY. For REASONS.

LOOK at them.

Thank you

Personal stuff, but of the good kind.

I went back to therapy yesterday. After a lot of consideration, I chose my old therapist – even though she admitted to me once she doesn't know anything about neurodiversity. She helped me a lot in the past and I trust her, and I didn't want to go through the hassle of looking for someone else and risking it won't work.

When for context I gently tried to remind her what RPGs are (because I didn't want to assume she remembers, she doesn't have to), she proudly said she does remember and that she learned about this kind of games thanks to me. (Years passed, but she remembers. Can you imagine?)

When later I said something she didn't understand, she noted it down and again said she's learning from me.

Normally, it would be stressful if someone were taking notes while talking to me. But with her, whenever I see her jotting something down, I feel like I just said something important.

About halfway into our meeting, without any prompt from me, she said that since the last time we saw each other (roughly two years ago) she received training about neurodiversity, and that she now understands the topic better and she does see I'm on the spectrum.

And then for the rest of the meeting she allowed me to just infodump her about it, offering bits of insight from time to time.

Therapy isn't easy. It's often full of strong and difficult emotions. But despite all of this, I left so happy and validated.

She's a treasure. I'm so lucky I bumped into her by a sheer accident in a moment of crisis a few years ago.
