People think depression means your sad and crying all the time. Depression for me is being stuck in a twilight zone. i can't think , i don't respond to things , nothing is interesting , i just feel empty. not sad , just blank. I have a lot of days like this and they are hard .
Such a mind fuck to realize how many people figured out you were autistic and deliberately fucked with you because of it. They didn't know the word autism but they knew, "she reacts this way if I press this button."
Lots of autistic people don't understand neurotypical subtext and hidden meanings. So it's best to just *tell us* when something is not right instead of giving the silent treatment or acting weird.
That stuff doesn't work on us because our brains aren't wired to understand it.
if someone triggers me i stay away from them, i don’t look at their socials, i don’t go near them at all. out of sight out of mind … i avoid & ignore you until you’re dead to me.
