...And?

Before my brain injury, I moved fast.

Solved problems before people could finish describing them.

I thought that speed was my superpower.

Until it broke me.

I wrote this piece about what happened after—and how I had to rebuild not just my mind, but my whole way of being.

...And?

How I lived in allegro—and learned to survive in lento.

📝 ...And?

If this feels familiar to you, I’d love to know. It’s lonely work, sometimes.

...And?

How I lived in allegro—and learned to survive in lento. What drove me, what broke me, and what came after.

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is taymoores80. I've been diagnosed with borderline personal disorder, severe anxiety, treatment resistant depression, fibromyalgia, migraines. I thought I would try this to find people who understand what I am going through, the pain, the loneliness. Do any of you feel like maybe you are just floating in a fog, all these different things like words floating around my head trying to figure out what is real, I really don't know anymore.I'm so confused I don't what is real, anymore, just the feeling and the sound and pressure of my fingers on the keyboard but there is roaring in my head, I can't see what I am doing,im sad I'm lonely I'm frustrated, disappoint everyone. I'm just writing what what ever is coming into my head, I'm useless worthless and alone forever, I will never find another to love because`every guy I have been with either beat or rape or tell me what a worthless b I am I'm scared really scared because I think I am never coming out of this I can't see

Introduction

Hi! I’m new to this whole thing & seeing a neurodiverse group made me happy. Although I’m not officially diagnosed (there’s so much that’s to be “officially” diagnosed since I’m forever being told “I’m fine” so that’s that)… but I realised I’m neurodivergent or well specifically discovered the term a few years ago & in a way it was relieving to know that I wasn’t alone…

I joined The Mighty since I am currently trying to get through this intense wave of loneliness (although I’ve been lonely all my life & yet the past few months have worsened it) & I am really struggling right now. This week has been a nightmare & I have an urgent deadline in 48hrs & haven’t been able to bring myself to do anything other than doomscroll my existence away.

Idk what the purpose of this post or blabbering is but eventually I just want to find a space to belong to & people to talk to since rn I don’t think I’m ever gonna end up with friends in the current city.…. Uhh yea that’s about it. Nice to meet you all, I guess 😅

Hi, my name is Thelonelycrow. I'm here because I have been struggling with intense loneliness for pretty much all my life, but with the added burden of my health issues and the burnout, everything has become increasingly difficult. As much as I am trying to handle everything by myself, the intense loneliness is driving my crazy, and most often I end up procrastinating & doing nothing (which eventually sabotages a whole lot of things for me), while all I want is just some human interaction.

WHAT IF I WAS CLOSER TO EXTENDED FAMILY

AND WENT OUT OF TOWN RELAXEDLY WITH FAMILY

Very lonely

Pauley is asleep. She got home from work at 915am today. And none of my friends are online to chat. So I got depressed which lead to anxiety which lead to overheating so I turned on my fan and then I got cold but I didn't want to turn off the fan so I put on my new hoodie.
Just as I typed the last word, my neighbor called me. She's terminally ill. We've gotten pretty close over the last 2 years. She just got a car 2 weeks ago. Anywho she wants to hire Pauley to take care of her. I explained she's busy between taking care of me and running her own business.
I've got a huge pimple on my chin and I keep trying to pop it. It's completely numb right now.

Feeling Down and Out

#CheckInWithMe #AutismSpectrumDisorder #Autism #Depression #Anxiety

It has been a while since I have posted lately. Things have been hard with my work and living. I do love my job as a library assistant, but it can be stressful at times especially with money. I know I keep getting told to get a new job, but I love what I do. There is not hardly any openings anywhere for full time jobs so it is hard. Plus, I have been lonely lately. I do not have any friends really. It is hard to look for friend groups when you have mom who needs to be taken care of and who is afraid to go anywhere by herself. I do love my Mom and I consider her my friend, but I want someone around my age to be friends with as well, and also find a girlfriend (I am 36 and most people around my live where I live are already married and have kids.)

Sorry about the rant, but I just wanted to get that off of my chest.
