Some of us are fighting a silent war
 

Whether it is physically or mentally some of us are fighting a silent war with our self.

I'm fighting a mentally battle with myself.

I pray for you, those of you who is fighting this war.

Edited for you Markus :salute:

^ Thank you and you're correct it's Are and not is.

Markus

Difficult to form an idea from this ^.

Depressive state of mind? Neural injury? Trauma? Desease? Social circumstances? Spiritual crisis? Meaning of life?

My intention was not asking my friends to go into detail on what they are suffering from whether it's physically or mentally I only know that some of us are fighting this silent battle.

I can tell that I'm suffering from severe Asperger's, moderate Autism and moderate OCD. Yes I get pills for this.

Rest of you don't have to go into detail.

Markus

Forum is always open. ;) Watch out for yourself. You seem to be a kind guy. Somehow I like you.

Yep, take each day as it comes Markus, I won't welcome you to the club of hard knocks as I don't like being in it myself. :salute:

I do.
What I don't like is unplanned situations. I need to have structure on my daily doings. If something has to be done I need to plan this at least 14 days ahead.

Markus

Markus,

I am not diagnosed with OCD but I'm one that NEEDS to plan ahead!
I plan shaving my face for a meeting and make sure I have the cloths I want to wear to that meeting days in advance!

I go nuts when I get hit with last minute details!
Usually? That is my strong point. I can adapt in that instance.
But it pisses me off to no end!

Formally diagnosed OCD is a bit of a heavier thing, Jeff. ;) So can be the demand for structure and order and predictability and established familiar patterns commanded by Asperger, Autism. It needs a lot of time and good people around to learn to adapt with that to the chaotic world around without every needed interaction with it leading to explosions.


Just pointing that out.

Your right.
I'm probably just adapted to my forward planning from my military service?
(Would be good to tell my Wife that!)

I have Aphantasia which hasn’t in anyway affected my life whatsoever, so I don’t struggle with it. If I work on it I can at times ‘visualize’ to some degree. I never realized that when people say they count sheep to get sleep they are actually visualizing and counting sheep. I don’t see anything..

Though when I’ve partaken in some tasty lil’shroomies I see all sorts of kewl imagery on a conscious level.

Damn it! Now I just found out I have that!

I go to sleep looking for the transition to another dimension.

I'm not so sure a Dream is a subconscious flash of memory.

I'm starting to think We actually jump to a different, existing, time line.
The scary part? How do We know that we actually come back to the exact time line We exist in?
Or are We corrupted in that jump?

Some might sat I'm crazy. But what if I'm right?

You need to ease up on the Scotch before bedtime. :03:

I admit I did not know about Aphantasia. Seems to be in a state of beign unknown and unresearched.

Asking for curiosity: what is it like if you would play for example chess, and plan and calculate positions ahead? Or is that not possible to play for you?

I'm with you, man. Don't be too hard on yourself. (Easier said than done, I know.) We can overcome our demons. :up:

I’ve played chess and it’s safe to say I’m no good at it. Now if that’s because of an inability visualize the next move or a reason I don’t do well finding my way around in online gaming worlds, I just don’t know.

I’d rather be outside anyway, it’s more stimulating.

Like I said there is no struggle and unlike what I’ve read about it there are no other associated issues either. It just is what it is simply no pictures on a conscious level. But when I take a trip or dream what I see seems so vivid and real.

Check your blood. If its green, it may be an indication of acute vulcanitis.

There are times when my little sister or some of my friends gets irritated over my behavior.

An example I'm measuring water to my homemade bread It says 450 ml water For me it means 450 ml water not 448 or 452 ml NO it means 450.

So imagine me standing there pouring water into the bowl and removing water with a spoon or adding water with a spoon.

Even numbers I have problem with here it's uneven numbers like 3, 5, 7. So if I buy something where the number of content is 3,5 or 7 I buy two packs.

I hire you on the spot as pizza dough mixer. I know that when I give you the recipe, you will carry it out and add the ingredients with the precision of a hundreth of a milligram! We then call the baked result "Pizza Prezisiosa". :03: A Danish-German co-production ruining the pizza industry of Italy as a revenge for the Italians taking the UEFA cup. :D
