WhyYou are very kind, thank you for your understanding response. I feel much better now than a week ago- AprilR

WhyI’m surprised too when I learn people like me, on the forum or IRL. That’s why it’s important you just keep being you. We have an impaired...

It's been a few weeks since I officially received my medical license and swore the Hippocratic oath. At our graduation ceremony, we were each asked to prepare a short speech detailing something about our time as a med student that stood out for us personally.
I don't do well with preparing...
So, I'm thinking I am aspie. But I wonder if connecting, or relationships, can be a "thing" for an aspie girl. I am extroverted, too, since I have more energy when I've been around people.
Communicating was very hard for me throughout my childhood. I could speak, but often came across as rude...
A possible new focus....one I don't want to forget while overwhelmed.
It seems throughout life, whatever I tried, however I tried...I just have always had a much harder time than others in being socially accepted and liked. It has gotten better, for sure - but it's always stinging to...
This is kind of a gush, but I'm happy and I want to talk about it:
I'm here tonight to say to anyone who's down, depressed, and/or hopeless: contrary to what I once believed, it really does get better.
But it doesn't get better on its own; it takes a special kind of hard work, the willingness...
Is it me? or is it them? small question is stature, but not in the insurmountable amount of facts gathered on both sides. Too much in order to make a proper conclusion without it being grey. I guess that is just what life is, never a singular answer, always murky unknowing grey.
Is it me, or...
My co-workers are always teasing the childless women about how it's their turn to have a baby. I've tried not to make a big thing of it, but I find it highly inappropriate. I even divulged more than I would like to have about my health condition in an effort to discourage it - but they still...
I've been on sertraline for five or six days now. It's more effective than laxatives for assisting digestive transit and I go through phases of feeling too nauseous to eat anything and wanting to eat everything if it stands still long enough, food, carpets, small children.
My diaphragm feels...
One of the things that leaves me emotionally ragged by the end of the day is being surrounded by people for whom normal clever social interactions is always surfing along the surface. I am constantly asked questions that they don't really mean to hear the real answers to - it has become a joke...
Just a thought. I need to feel suicidal to function. That doesn't make sense does it, well I am not a person of sense. I gave it some thought though, I think since then, I got a sense of what normally doesn't make sense.
If I think I am going to die in the next month, there are no...
I thought I would spare the chat room of more thoughts.
I am thinking of different cultures. People tend to forum groups. These groups grow, split, shrink and all the other stuff groups do. One group can turn into hundreds of little ones, and all these groups over time forum different...
I don't feel any better, I just feel in conflict. I know my possible life could be awesome, but I don't know If I can get there, and operate, even when i am living the dream. I have so much progress to make, and sitting at the bottom of this mountain, looking up and knowing I have to climb all...
I feel tired. It is a bit unordinary considering it is only one in the morning. Maybe I might get some good sleep. I just got up to turn off the light, letting the dim lamp at the end of the room light my way. Hopefuly the low amount of light can kick my circadian rhythm back into line...
I didn't particularly want to go and see my GP, the one I've been used to for twenty years; who I now think was probably rubbish, has retired. I have to get used to someone else or a lot of someone elses.
I haven't seen a doctor in a long time. Nothing needed fixing or tablets or referrals...
Very recently, I've learned of the healing power behind forgiving yourself for a troubled past, and as highlighted in JDartistic's post about dealing with humiliation, I'm not alone in that sentiment. I would, however, like to explain where I was, where I am now, and what changed in hopes that...
What a night. crazy, crazy night. As you may have guessed, It wasn't a good type of night. my mind was in a pretty bad spot, and I got set off by something incredibly little. I wasn't doing good for the past two weeks, and all of that building emotional energy came collapsing in as the damn of...
Very first point: I extend apologies to anyone offended by a light usage of the term schizophrenia. I am not referring to literal schizophrenia, but rather the idea of seeing/believing diverging realities.
So....I've often heard about people either viewing the glass as half empty or half...
I have been too busy trying to stay afloat of all the craziness lately, of the new job and other things, to write about all of the realizations/adjustments I have been trying to make, or have decided that I should make. I've had to do a lot of thinking/writing out in the past - way too much to...
I have nothing good to say today. I feel horrible. reality is kind of clashing in one me. I feel like I have lost, it is just over at this point. I was off my meds for the past two weeks, I have been back on them for the past few days. I know they help. I still don't want to take them. it's kind...
I've got several posts I've been meaning to create....but I've just been feeling overwhelmed. It's all great - but all change is stressful, as they say, and I've had nothing but change for the past 10 years....or more? I've only just now started settling into something, but even that is a lot...
Last month I got a puppy. Yes, an adorable little black Labrador Retriever. Her name is Sabella. In the last month, I have been teaching her many different things. She has mastered "sit" and "Off" pretty well. One of the things I have noticed about her is that she loves to play with certain...
