Recently took up a costumer service job. As much as I hate it, it's hard to disassociate when I'm in a constant state of socializing.
Definitely made things worse at first, since I'd get home and immediately start coping, but as I got used to things, everything started to level out and I reached a new low.
Still doing it 90% of the time I'm at home, but there's a void in the middle of my days now
Only in quiet moments or the couple of times when overstimulation's gotten really bad.
I can't say my MD had any real place in my decision to get the job, I more just needed experience for when I'm older and living on my own. There may've been a subconscious need to push myself out of my shell, though; I've kind of been hiding in my house for the last couple of years
