My name is Lore. I'm 26 soon to be 27 this month.
I have a high functioning form of Autism called Aspergers syndrome.
I suffer from PTSD and a severe social anxiety disorder. And also depression.
I regularly take medications for these.
When I first started playing AC: NL I wasn't sure what to expect but new
I was probably going to love it. And I did!
I get to be mayor. I can shape my town however I please.
And do it at my own pace. No pressure, no anxiety, no panicky situations.
(Except for the mishaps with my SD card. lol.... OTL)
I became to really enjoy growing my fruit trees and harvesting them.
Planting my gardens and lovely exotic flower bushes.
Happily watering and caring for them and feeling proud of my good work.
Interacting with such cute and caring(Sometimes creepy) animal beings.
Completely different from the everyday RL interactions with people
I find hard to understand and also relate to. Which really makes me distressed.
Now before any of you think "Wow, you're a pathetic sod. Replacing human interaction with fictional animal people.."
It's not replacement. It's just a comparison.
Of course I interact with people quite a lot but it's very unnerving and anxiety filled.
On AC I can just calming go about my day with out a care in the world.
Something I think everyone desires. And I do enjoy it greatly.
Now, that I have started interacting with the people here
I feel very welcome. And also excited to have AC playmates.
Anyway, I'll just stop rambling on and on here.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day, cheers!
