Aspsy recovery: Am i crazy
ya get used to ur new life question.
ur going to spend alot of time here. these r ur next few months after being diagnosed:
“is this real?”
“am i crazy?”
just on repeat.
do urself a favor. get a psychiatrist and a bunch of brain doctors asap. ask them. then make sure you counted how many degrees they all had. then compare them to ur own.
the short hand way to know ur not crazy is that u question ur sanity. crazy people think they are totally normal.
the more important question for you is going to be the ones u havent asked yet
Why do i feel detached from reality?
u have literally never been real with anyone but urself.
it was too hard. it was easier to fake it. so you did what u knew u could do so u dont get hurt. now — unfortunately- you can no longer mask. something happens at the age of 40ish to a woman. i have zero idea what- but something changes.
and those thousands of acting gigs u decided to keep doing crash into themselves. and then ur left with the most horrible thing to other people and the most hilarious to you.
inside voice
and i know ur wierd so ur inside voice is going to sound nuts to most people. and everyone is going to be extremely confused about who u are now.
