Ookkk there’s this thing some of my friends think I have a eating disorder idk rly know partly bc I have a friend who self diagnoses all the time even tho she’s been tested for those things so I’m not saying it is a eating disorder but I eat a lot

like a lot a lot like if I’m not hungry but just bored or stressed or anything I’ll go eat

idk

A lot of neurodivergent people eat as a form of sensory seeking. To self soothe (when stressed) or self regulate (when bored) emotions. Quite common. 

It's also common to end up with health issues as a result of doing that. Keep an eye on your fitness and health, and if the eating habit causes problems, try to find alternative sensory experiences. Chew on other things, crinkle something between your fingers, whatever works.

But if it's not causing problems, it's fine.

Welcome! Apologies for the late greeting, I’ve been busy.

We serve free hugs, comfort, advice, and occasional drops of true wisdom mixed in with everything else.

We are very weird.

But I would say we’re pretty awesome, too.

lolol. If you can convince your brain to go back to not caring about boys, please go right ahead! Also, share your secret, there's so many people who want it haha.

And don't worry about processing it, honestly. It doesn't need to make sense. Romantic feelings/relationships are one of the weirdest, most illogical things we encounter. Keep whatever promises you make, and you're pretty much fine.

 

Since I don't know the specifics, a couple of ideas:

Your friends were stressed or sharing struggles and you were there for them/helped them, which fulfils you emotionally because you helped, but also drains you/depresses you because of the general stress and tension you were working in.

Your friends were having fun, you were having fun, it was good, you were happy, it was filling; but now you're home, they're not here, and you're right back to as empty as you were before, only now you have the fresh memory of having not been empty for a brief time, and the emptiness feels that much colder by comparison, and you wonder how you went straight back to it despite the warmth that was there, and if it made any real difference at all or if you will go through your life unable to ever hold onto anything, grasping at fleeting moments that fade away the moment you touch them.

Oof, I've never been in a relationship but I would say just be with him, listen to him, I don't know his relationship with his dad, but I'm gonna assume he's upset. I would just be there for him and be someone he can talk to.

*squeeze*

That IS a lot

Honestly, the best advice I can give is just… be there for him

Always

Open up to him, and hopefully he’ll open up back

Relationships are hard. Yours seems even harder. You can’t do everything. But you can definitely be there

Hello and welcome! Hoid Slayer gave a pretty good summary of what we do in here for spooky up there, but yeah, we hang out and support each other - through listening, commiserating, celebrating, advising, and laughing together. Most...ok probably all...of us are neurodivergent in some way out other. Safe space!

Sometimes talking about unrelated stuff helps. Getting your head out of all the stuff you've been dealing for a bit. 

Be there for him, yeah. And check what kind of support he needs at various times - sometimes he might need someone to be vulnerable with and open up to, sometimes he might need to talk about unrelated random things to escape the emotions for a bit and regain a sense of normalcy, sometimes he might need to sit quietly without taking. He also might not know what he wants or needs at the moment, which is normal and fine. But asking "do you want to vent, or just sit, or can I help by chattering about my day?" lets him know you're caring for him, even if he doesn't have an answer.
