aww we do really like talking to you a lot. brain is just weird and dumb for some reason and it can easily feel like it messed up for no reason and start to panic, or feel inferior or embarrassed for no reason. we don't know why and don't know how to stop it. maybe it is something to do with autism, not sure also it was a combination of a lot of things happening at about the same time thank you for the advice, and twi's hug offer! we are drinking irish breakfast tea with milk and honey and a little vanilla and it is really good our bike is horrible and isn't even really faster than walking unless going down hills, or using an exaggerated amount of effort. and anxiety we'd feel riding it would far outweigh the anxiety of just walking. outside will never be a safe or relaxing place until we can move, if that day ever comes. we had to stop using a bike to get to work because we couldn't handle the anxiety of it anymore. it feels unsafe to ride on sidewalks and on the road. feels like bikes are just illegal and not meant for american streets. if you are in the road, you are in the way of cars and they will honk at you. if you are on the sidewalk, people will yell at you. it just doesn't make sense to have a bike unless you are on some trail maybe

Why do u people want this? D.I.D. is something I have to control 24 7 , it's something I would definitely not try to get. I don't understand.

Doing physical work (which can include going on walks if I walk briskly) tends to set my mood and mind to neutral - it's not really a positive state to me, but it's certainly not negative, which to some people/some times can be a large improvement Not sure what all you could do to accomplish that without being outside though. It'd be great if you had a way to get somewhere less public quickly. You have a bike right? Is it so bad to slow down and look around before each intersection? (While riding on the side of the road if it's big single-way with no sidewalk, or in the middle if it's small and no sidewalk I suppose)

I'm torn. I really want to engage you more and find a way to ease your mind, but am hesitant if socialising causes you spikes of distress. First things first, don't ever treat such interactions as an obligation. If you feel "overloaded," I would suggest shutting down the computer, sitting down in a comfortable chair and just relax. Focus on your breathing, preferably in a dark room with little in the way of much else. If you can't tolerate complete or even partial darkness, look out a window and fixate on something benign, like a tree or a distant house. Keep breathing, in and out, until you can hear only that. It's too warm outside to use a weighted blanket, but if you must, lie down and sleep. If I'm scared, hurt, having a flashback, angry or depressed, I work myself into a mental numbness and rest. My body gets to loosen its tension and my subconscious resolves some of the underlying grief. Try it sometime. We're okay. Am treating Twi to a yummy frozen drink, ger favourite: a strawberry frappucino. She tells me she wish she could share, and give you a biiiig hug. (emphasis hers :0) )

Glad you'll at least be okay eventually. 😊 I just wish I knew a way help.

i think so it's just like our brain can get so overloaded with trying to be social or interact for some reason, and it will over think things and sometimes spin out of control to the point it physically hurts might be why i usually post the most, i usually think the least lol, but i feel doubt too now i hope it feels better soon. we can't do anything right now, so we don't know what to do how are you?

our system is over 50% canine/canid related only inadequacy remains me too

……There are, in fact, people who dislike fireworks. Like us. And we can occasionally be canine, shapeshifting is fun sometimes, but I wouldn't say that we are dogs.

"I'm not a fan of fireworks" is a phrase that would only be spoken by dogs

Oh, I should have googled fancy words.

Usually not, it may depend on how severe it is but normally encouraging any sort of mental attachments is dangerous for people with chaotic thinking who can't always tell real from imaginary. Some people with DID do practice tulpamancy and the community's techniques and mindsets may help them manage their system life better, but I imagine professional help by a competent therapist would be better in a lot of cases. I'm neither a professional nor that knowledgeable about DID though, so better to hear from someone who is

Huh? Authorial intent? She was referring to me talking about my dislike of non-canon stuff

Matt has talked a bit about dj’ing, but for a long time I’ve thought about picking it up myself. There’s an art to finding songs that mesh well enough with each other to crossfade The best deejays have actually good music taste, so it makes me a little less confident about starting out. I suppose dj’ing more helps them get to that point
