Dude I'm noticing I'm hungry when it's too late, I'm suddenly so hungry. I feel it so intensely when it strikes like that
@klackygears
My favorite is, "Why do I have a headache and feel sick? Oh, it's 3PM and I haven't eaten or drank anything today since 7AM. Why does every food look gross now? I guess I'll eat dry cereal."
@meh_lady
When I'm feeling off or anxious I ask myself out loud what I may need as if I were asking a friend. It feels kind of silly but verbalizing helps me a ton and in the end that's what matters. "When is the last time you ate, could you be hungry?" "How about we sit down and cuddle the cats for a while?"
@maidofcornwall
I feel sick instead of feeling hungry. If I leave it for too long I feel too sick to eat. So I eat my meals as a part of my routine and hope I never get hungry!
@eva01iastate
I definitely have this with food. I often get sick rather than feel hungry.
@kristenallen8438
So this could be why I wet the bed until my teens, and how I can read an entire book in one sitting, then realize that I haven’t eaten, drank anything, used the toilet, etc.
@VanFlores-o7z
your videos helped me when i was breaking off a 9 year toxic relationship. i got tired of masking and being apologetic for my existence. thanks man.
@BarbaraJackson-qu3is
Thanks for this Orion. I have no sense of being hungry. Also removed from my feelings often until it's too late ie meltdown happens.
@helvainia
Just got my late diagnosis on the 11th. Your channel was suggested to me and I've enjoyed it. I'm learning language for what has always been just ambiguous feelings inside me.
@kevinheise7
Me: I can feel my heartbeat! Also, me: I'm dying! Don't let anybody notice😳
@VapedCrusaderMods
Thanks!
@juliesmith6228
Routine is really the only reliable way I have of actually staying fed, hydrated and getting enough rest... It's more difficult now as life seems more chaotic and pressurized now 🤔🙄
@kathyroux7386
Ohhhhhh. Interoception - never heard of it. It makes sense. I was always constipated as a child. But I have to pee all the time. Before I was diagnosed with autistism, a psychiatrist diagnosed me with borderline personality disorder because my emotions were often so dysregulated. Who knew I was just autistic. Now i stimm and don't feel embarrassed about it. I work less than I used to, and I rest more than I once did. I rely on my routines and welcome them. I eat my comfort foods and don't feel bad about it. And I cut myself a break when I don't know what I am feeling or have a meltdown.

My son would not eat or drink if I didn’t tell him. He also doesn’t realize that it’s so hot outside and he’s sweating and still wearing his jacket. Yet, he is so sensitive to light, sounds and pain.

I've recently been diagnosed with emotionally unstable personality disorder and I also have autism. This video really helps me in directing and understanding my own feelings. Thanks for this upload 👍
@Green_Roc
13:53 My newest therapist recognized my nervous system is overworked, recognized I have emotional dystregulation, asked me what brings me comfort, and I hugged a stuffed animal. She suggested I hug a stuffed animal whenever I feel agitated. Just an amazing piece of advice I highly recommend. I take stuffed animals with me when I go shopping, several nasty glares at me and I hug my toy and tell myself "My therapist prescribed this, to hell with their dirty looks".

Oh man oh man oh man. I honestly started this video not expecting to match up with anything but maybe the hunger thing.... and ended up relating to EVERYTHING. Can't tell I'm hungry until I'm nauseous and my head hurts, don't know I'm dehydrated until I have cotton mouth and my lungs aren't working very well despite my inhalers, I usually don't know I'm hurt unless I get like 50 tiny splinters at once from my firewood, otherwise nothing really hurts except loud sounds. A couple years ago, I didn't know I was having gall bladder issues until they were literally suddenly infected and I had to have emergency surgery and the ER morphine was only working for about 10 minutes at a time. I can't even recall how many times I've cut myself pretty bad and I've just looked at my bleeding hand trying to figure out how the heck that happened and I didn't feel it. When I was 10, I stepped on a broken glass bottle in the lake, and it didn't even hurt, I only freaked out because my foot was bleeding a lot. The only thing I notice is when I have to pee, because between diabetes and anxiety I have to pee like 20x a day. My daughter, who is also autistic, needs constant reminders to eat and bathroom stuff and drinking. She does better in some aspects, but she is over-sensitive to pain (little things hurt her, whereas I don't feel most pain). We also both don't go to sleep until we're literally falling asleep doing stuff. I literally have to have alarms set for lunch and dinner so we don't forget to eat. And neither of us feel the cold very well, we have high cold-tolerance and kind of low heat-tolerance. There are a lot of times my daughter would seem to get her hots and colds mixed up. And I have read each Harry Potter book in ONE sitting each, I think only breaking for tea or bathroom breaks. In fact, I still tend to read books in one sitting. I literally had no idea these were autism things. I just thought everyone gets carried away sometimes, and I thought not realizing we got hurt came from being a kid and getting carried away again. I had NO idea these specific things were specific to autism. I don't even recall these things being on the official autism diagnosis questionnaires.

When blitz cleaning decades of storage under our family home, my son asked me if I'd had anything to eat or drink. Told him I'd come up for a late brekky soon. He replied that it was 2pm 😂
@Tormekia
When I'm hyper focused, I only get my body signals when they switch over to pain. Sweaty and shakey? Crap hands not working right. Need to eat. Kidneys hurt? Oh crap I need to pee. Bladder gave up on me and sent the signal to my kidneys. Then I get up and my legs are like "Guess who else you've been ignoring for six HOURS!?!" wobblewobblestumble
