@avant-garde sounds like it is meaningful to you to feel noticed hun. I get that sometimes, like this itch in my bones that makes me crave someone noticing, checking in on me.

Course hun 😊
Those are all super important things for us to get, I agree. And for those of us who didn't get enough (or perhaps any) of those things as kids, it can feel like a craving hey.

Aww tyty @avant-garde
I had a hectic week 😵 had to take one of my partners in for emergency surgery! They are okay and will make a full recovery, but I had to take the time to rest and let myself process after the 30 or so hours of enduring various hospital sensory nightmares, and just providing them with some company and aftercare 😊

Oh hospitals are extreme sensory overload! I completely get you on that. I find bone conduction headphones great in those situations, you can have calming music and still hear what's important.
I'm glad your partner is going to be ok
We missed you on here too, just saying

@avant-garde oooh they look really cool! I definitely needed my noise cancelling headphones a few times!! It's amazing just how cranky it makes me. Wish hospitals had sensory rooms for ND folks!!
Aww I know, it's been so sweet logging on and seeing a bunch of messages 💜
