I took the next semester off. My life briefly spun out of control. I was in and out of the hospital for a couple months. My downward spiral lead to more trauma since that's when I met the person who would later become my husband. I was lost, alone, and so, so vulnerable. Due to my overall...

This is not a positive motivational story. But sometimes you have to hear what's still wrong to know what you have to work on. So here is my story about being an adult with Aspeber’s.
I was born late and with several medical conditions I spent several days in the NICU. The residual problems...
From the back of my mother's Ford Grenada, I witnessed my grandfather wave a loaded gun at my mother. I witnessed my grandmother on my dad's side murder 4 kittens. I was found by a police officer, sitting in the middle of a heavily trafficked intersection, playing with a Raggedy Ann doll. I had...
Me and my best friend of 2 years recently had a huge argument because i recently made a group of friends who want to spend allot of time with me and this all happened before i knew she has aspergers so now some of her behaviour makes sense. The reason why things are very strained are because she...
Today I feel a bit defeated.
I have a lot of health problems. I keep going to a doctor and reassessing where I am, basically. if anything has gotten worse; what we have or have not tried.
It's kind of been a mystery, what is going on, "officially". I've had a diagnosis of MCTD- it's not...
In the diagnosis i got some almost 2 years ago the main reasons for the dignoes was my sensory issues; sudden noises from asholey neighbors, that idont lie the sun ligt i have my windows covered in my apartment, and did the same im my room when i live at "home" a long time ago, tv...
I got my BC changed over today, freaking finally. They dug into my arm and pulled out the hormone matchstick.
Then I got my depo shot back- YAY!
And the other cheek got a shot of Toradol! YAY!
So, on the ride home I was trying to sing some kind of homage to Gloria by Laura Branigan only with...
When you have an outburst, a breakdown, meltdown, or whatever you could call it...
It's not funny at all! Seriously! Stop making me look like crap, world! Would anyone mind a little sympathy, once in a while? I mean, really!
My new psychiatrist in OCD clinic wrote a [smallish] article/paper in a journal about, basically, the prevalence of cases where individuals with a history of mental health diagnoses have their other health care and diagnoses affected because of the mental health diagnoses. That is, providers who...
I haven't been feeling well off and on for a while- like a few months. Not feeling well as in this vague "have a broad symptom" cold type feeling.
But then there's been some nausea and some chest congestion involvement.
The past maybe 2-3 weeks it's gotten worse. Plus coughing. And my...
Procrustes was an innkeeper who adjusted his guests to their bed. Procrustes, whose name means "he who stretches," offered hospitality to travelers with a unique value proposition: a bed that exactly matched whoever lay down upon it. When the guest lay down, Procrustes racked the traveler if he...
NB: Might be having an episode or maybe too cowardice to pin what I am about to say to my chest.
A dross open letter to those who have 'made it' (even though they seem to be ignorant of that fact).
To all of you Functional Aspiez:
Dear FuAs's! I am delighted (neigh, covetous) for your current...
The more I think about it, the more I notice it. The world is based upon too many assumptions. And granted, it has worked fine for most part. Perhaps it’s partially because I’m an aspie that I’m being confronted with the fact that either I, nor others with whom I (have to) interact shouldn’t...

While I'm awaiting a reply from the writer's colony, I realized that committing to membership in effect gave me permission to have a nice thing that spawns other nice things. It's as if a blindfold fell from my eyes: the idea that I have to wait to solve all my getting-along-with-the-world...
I keep hopping around the things I need to write about because, frankly, it's difficult to do that- to actually write about what I need to write about. I feel like it's just a lot of freaking work.
Things I want to write about:
I'm realizing one of the ways I can be aided in expressing periods...
I wrote elsewhere about how I'm having a really hard time getting my OCD meds right now.
What's messed up is that I just feel like I can't get a freaking break. I know I am constantly complaining. But, please, if it is bothering you, don't read this. That's not at all "passive aggressive" or...
My doctor wanted to look at nutrition.
My psychologist thought I needed a prescription.
My psychiatrist wrote the prescription and said take exercise.
My fitness coach's ketone-burning diet put me in the emergency room.
My chiropractor tried to sell me supplements.
My former church’s witch...
