16:43:01 <HB[m]> I still want to know which I don't yet, why xmobar decided to use Pango
16:43:17 <HB[m]> Pango sounds like Penguin but also Mango
16:43:31 <HB[m]> What was the need, I wonder.
16:46:55 <geekosaur> ligature handling (including things like Unicode flag ligatures and such) probably
16:47:12 <HB[m]> Oh ok
16:48:15 <HB[m]> geekosaur: I'm sorry I freaked out the other day I still feel bad. You're a good person. Thank you. I had an adjustment to my medication and I am better now.
16:48:44 <HB[m]> I mean I feel bad that I made anyone else feel bad. I'm ok. Thank you
16:48:56 <HB[m]> Ok have a good day ❤️
16:50:54 <geekosaur> they're still adjusting my meds too 🙂
17:17:38 liskin bought a second-hand VR headset on Sunday and suddenly is much happier
17:18:10 <liskin> it's almost like back at primary school, waking up at 6 am just to play Fallout for 15 mins before school
17:18:54 <HB[m]> I need something like that. Life feels dead. I need to go back into childhood.
17:23:10 <liskin> yeah, I'm not a big fan of the adult life either :-)
17:23:39 <geekosaur> I found adult life better but then my childhood was rather a mess
17:24:04 <geekosaur> at least until my sensory issues got the better of me (which means I can't do VR either)

17:44:55 banc- joins (banc@gateway/vpn/protonvpn/banc)
17:45:47 × banc quits (banc@gateway/vpn/protonvpn/banc) (Ping timeout: 248 seconds)
18:08:17 <mazte[m]> <geekosaur> "at least until my sensory issues..." <- headache?
18:08:46 <geekosaur> sensory overload, sensory hypersensitivity (which is not the same thing)
18:09:08 <geekosaur> but both can lead to my brain shutting down
18:10:41 <geekosaur> (sensory overload is too much stuff going on for me to handle, sensory hypersensitivity is my brain getting "stuck" in low-{light,sound, etc.} mode)
18:11:21 <geekosaur> and both are distinct from autistic meltdown which has also happened a few times (like the past revert war)
18:28:22 <mazte[m]> that sounds awful
18:28:42 <mazte[m]> is it getting worse with time?
18:28:47 <geekosaur> yes 😞

19:18:08 yosafbridge joins (~yosafbrid@static.38.6.217.95.clients.your-server.de)
19:18:16 <HB[m]> I'm sorry.
19:19:10 <HB[m]> Mine is getting stronger with time also, but I'm also learning to manage it with medication. I take a medicine which helps me not be irritated with people, go from 0-100 in 3 seconds, and it's helping. It keeps me calmed down, and slowed down enough to be able to manage with people.

20:36:33 × amenonsen quits (~amenonsen@pitta.toroid.org) (Ping timeout: 255 seconds)
20:39:43 <geekosaur> I'm on some $1000/month med for that (and grateful it's not out of my pocket)
20:53:59 fnurglewitz joins (uid263868@id-263868.lymington.irccloud.com)
21:30:27 <HB[m]> Studies report a significant improvement in symptoms associated with autism when what I'm on was administered as compared to a placebo.
21:32:05 <HB[m]> Within eight weeks of treatment, 69% of the group showed a decrease in irritability, compared to 12% of the placebo group. Two-thirds of the children who had a positive response continued to show improvement six months later.
21:32:23 <HB[m]> I started this a month or so ago. So I'm hopeful. It's been the most helpful so far.
21:32:32 <HB[m]> Sorry for offtopic.
21:36:25 rekahsoft joins (~rekahsoft@142.188.185.92)
21:44:12 <geekosaur> mostly my irritability comes from when I'm riding the edge of a meltdown due to sensory overload or hypersensitivity, so they're treating that instead of the irritability directly. 7 horse pills every night 🙂
21:44:29 <geekosaur> anjd it's still not enough 😞
22:13:49 <liskin> Uh, is this some new stuff? Last time I checked everyone on the internet said there are no meds for autism
22:16:51 <geekosaur> there are still no meds for autism as such, but there are amelioratives for some of the symptoms
22:17:43 <geekosaur> no meds will make you more social, for example, but you can do something about irritability and for some of the causes of meltdowns
