    Has my “time” come so to say?

    Yep. But also try to relax. If she likes you then it will happen. But things have a way of happening in their own time. Relaxing and letting things unfold is part of how you allow things to happen. Going after them is only half the job.

    Poor Singing

    The "industry" might be deteriorating as the middle men are highly domineering and exploitative, lacking "soul", but in actual fact, skill levels of actual singers is rising. If you watch talent and singing competions on so- called "reality tv", especially early auditions, you see amazing...

    Comment by 'Neri' in 'Executive functioning'

    I know what you mean. I am still not able or not good at a lot of the things you mentioned, which is probably why I'm diagnosed with ASD2. I'm very good at the things I AM good at though. I have learnt that I really have to pace myself, I used to go, go, go, hard, and that worked out really...

    My support funding has finally come through!

    Thank you @Aspychata. I'm sorry you've had to deal with that. It was one of the reasons I stayed in my terrible relationship for so long, I was intimidated about other guys pursuing me. I'm thankful that my guy friend now, has scared off a few hopefuls. I'm a bit too nice, and friendly, and guys...

    Dealing with a PTSD flare up

    Update; My guy friend's son is here again, helping us get ready for the next inspection. Today, two of the old cars were removed. Tomorrow another one is going. My oldest son took the trailer yesterday. I am so happy lately, because of my new routine of once a week music therapy group and gym...

    I wish I could have helped my friend more.

    I've lost friends to taking their own lives, too. It's so very, very painful! It's so easy to blame ourselves, even though it's completely not our fault. I really feel for you.

    My mental health status

    I don't find you annoying at all. It seems like you are searching for answers and reaching out for support and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I've had alters and psychosis myself, but, I sing a lot when my thoughts got too scary and, eventually, I got well. Art forms can often be...

    Music therapy or music AS therapy, anyone?

    Thank you for your kind response @Seladon :-). Yes, being a "music therapy" setting, it's not fraught with any competitive or egoic kind of thing that I've had my own sense of intimidation with, in working in "the industry". I'm not at all intimidated because he's a very kind, humble man, and...

    I realized I have to keep my music therapy group going. Its only supposed to be 2 more weeks and then a finale performance slash jam BBQ up an our local mental health facility. I told the organizer and I'm pretty sure we have a good chance of keeping it going indefinitely.

    Kangaroos

    Sometimes it's worth picking up a long stick and pointing it above your head. Then they think twice about swooping you and taking skin off your head. They can be bully birds, but boy can they sing! They have delightful melodies. Except the babies which carry on, demanding to be fed constantly. I...

    Music therapy or music AS therapy, anyone?

    Update; I rang the lady who organized the group and told her I don't want it to stop. She is going to see what she can do to accommodate me.

    Music therapy or music AS therapy, anyone?

    @Seladon. Sorry I took so long to reply. I'm not sure why. Someday my brain just doesn't process information very well. I get pretty severe executive disfunction at times.

    It is hard to find people as a neurodiverse person who are kind and goodhearted.

    I am into fairy stuff too. I swear I saw fairies and fairy lights when I was a little girl. I was obsessed with fairy stories too, still am. I am going to make fey core when I get around to learning how. I want to crochet, mainly. So far, I only knit, embroider and patch my clothes with crochet...

    Music therapy or music AS therapy, anyone?

    It's been a while. Sorry I got caught up and sort of, forgot about this thread. I have so much to tell you guys! I've been having the most amazing time, in music therapy group! My youngest son (18) calls me a music savant and he's probably not that far off. I love it so much I'm going to have to...

    How to find my personal clothing style and the courage to actually wear it

    I guess I err on the fey or shamanic hippy chick look, boho or flowy layered looks. I also have a Neurospicy "coming out" T-shirt. I have always been a bit of a fashionista, at least since I got into music/performance work from my teens. My mum was full hippy/ethnic look lady so fashion has been...
