Hi brosI think Im in an autistic shutdown. Sperg to sperg, what do you do about it? Mine has been most likely triggered by best friend who acted like a clingy gf, loads of social interaction and loads of work. I still have social stuff to do this weekend for three days and the weekend after. Give me autism advice bros, I legit had to communicate at McDonalds with handwritten notes because of how bad it got. I’m going full non verbal retard Cant afford to be full retard for long, too many big guy responsibilities
I'm not retarded but I still have to tell myself that I'm in control, not the retard in my head
>>34331819>what do you do about itIn the short term:You can try reducing all sensory input for a while (audio, visual) and relax/comfort myself as much as possible. I'd put some audio on like the following, and then lay in bed with an eye mask all day. Also consider looking up hemi-sync audios (they can be relaxing, minus the weird astral projection stuff). If you have any specific things you enjoy, that relax you, I'd recommend indulging in them.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=empLZMVWIP8>https://soundcloud.com/barlowtj/transformed-op-1In the long term:Think of this mental stress just like physical stress. You can run a marathon, but if you try to keep running another marathon every day or even just every month, it'll kill you. On the other hand, with proper sleep and diet, it's possible to run a few miles everyday, and still have enough energy for daily life. You need to have an appropriate amount of recovery to compensate/balance your stress.
>>34331819Sounds like she is jerking your around and that's where the stress anxiety is
>>34333285Omg thanks anon, the audios are legitimately based. It changes from asmr that was okay-ish but the noise was still too high. I owe you my life And I agree on the output. I went full unmasked non verbal today. Notes on the phone and ASL to people outside. Everyone was oddly chill about it. It kinda killed my bullied kid idea that autism unmasked gets you hunted in the hall. >made me happy ngl But ur right, lowering vocal and listening output helps. Rock back and forth helps. People not giving a shit absolutely help. Thanks for the big reply fren>>34334428Unless hes a fag, which he isnt considering he has a gf, then ur right. But the full story is that hes going thru a rough patch lately and has an anxious attachment. I set boundaries tho, said I needed some air cause my battery is too low. He was really chill about it. Based fren
>>34334718Yeah, communication helps. Feel better.
>>34334718>Thanks for the big reply freno7. Here's another favorite of mine for the road: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXb4hjgp8B4The genre "downtempo" has been very enjoyable for me.
