Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
I don't have difficulty identifying emotions, my own or other people's, but I do seem to have a difficulty in remembering my own emotions, does that make sense? I could sort of tell you how I feel now but not how I felt last week or how I felt growing up. It doesn't help that my life seems to lack any significant milestones to even identify different time periods.

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
I don't remember how I felt in the past either.
Sometimes I can be having a really rough time (internally) but look at photos from that time where I'm enjoying myself and I don't remember the low mood I was in or the negative thoughts I was having. When I say I don't remember, I mean obviously I do remember, or I wouldn't know I didn't remember. But I can look at the photos or think back to the time and think "that was quite a good time" but then if I really think about it, I might remember that actually I was having a hard time despite looking like I wasn't. Or I might look at photos and think I look happy so it must've been a good time. But then I think to myself, I've been down for years, so surely I was down in that time. It goes to show, that for me at least, my thoughts are the issue, not the situation I am in. My life is pretty much good. I'm not hungry, have a roof over my head, get to do some fun stuff. Lots could be better but there's nothing bad in the grand scheme of things. The only reason I suffer is because of what I think, not what actually happens.

If you still have old school reports take them with you when you go for your assessment.
Mine said i lack consentration and that went a long way to getting my diagnosis.

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
Make sure you empasise the easily distracted and in own world part. Have a look through your old school report to see if there's any mention of consentration problems.

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
Started a new job as a kitchen porter have been one before. I thought I was slow but in this job I don’t think I’m too slow. I enjoy having to work out the flow of the job as I think good organisation makes the job more efficient. However I dislike the lack of respect I get. Having long hours, tbh though the chefs work more. I occasionally do 11 hour shifts but it seems some chefs do that regularly. I don’t like that much work as it means you have to sacrifice your lively hood for the job. Probably health as well. I notice other restaurant staff are regularly hungry. I put that down to the carb heavy diet they have.
Maybe I need a job that involves good organisation skills and some repetitiveness but allows me to make more money and maintain the lifestyle I want.

When sadness is the only feeling that makes me feel authentically myself, I do wonder what hope there is I will ever feel happy.

I’m sleeping so late on my day off. Spent all day in my pc. I think I need to try a dopamine detox.

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
I don’t think I’m that unusual but sometimes my beliefs or values are a bit left field to mainstream values and beliefs that I probably come across as unusual.
For example keto is quite popular and normal on some parts of the internet. At the pub I work at though it must come across as me being ott although I’ve just said I don’t eat sugar. Now I’m thinking of doing a dopamine detox. Again not that weird but I also think a lot of my age mates would consider this but not most of them.

 Of course Ramsay has absolutely sod-all to do with the cheffing side of things nowadays. On the other hand, my brother's boss, the head chef at Petrus was a complete arsehole who once bawled out my bro and actually made him cry.  Cheffing sounds like a mega harsh environment to work in - kudos to anyone that can hack it. That's your line of work isn't it, amara (IIRC)?

^ I hope you manage to knock that on the head
 Thinking how much I like the light sunny mornings, especially when my neighbours aren't up to ruin them with noise.

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
I bought a 2014 car in 2017, The car itself was absolutely fine but a couple of years into ownership the key fobs started going wonky and stopped working/jammed. I lost faith in them when one day it was pissing it down and the fob had decided to wind all the windows down
 £500 later and 2 new key fobs it had annoyed me..so I got rid in 2019. Also in 2019 I bought a brand new fancy pants sporty dickhead version of the same sort of car but the latest model.Today..the main key fob has died on me It's also keyless so I can't even try and pair the damn thing, I am not going through this again -edit- Turns out a full pack of duracell batteries ..dud Who'da thought, I was all for ringing up tomorrow to kick off but a pack of energizers from Amazon for the grand sum of £2.60..problem solved

Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)
^ That's a shame, it shows how one person's mood and treatment of other people can affect how those other people feel doesn't it. I've been standing in a queue before and the person at the till was really smiley and friendly to the person in front me and then when I get to the front of the queue the smile totally disappeared!
