    I haven’t drawn anything for a long time and my guitar is collecting dust. Life denied me the talent for both things.

    When I was a few years old mom took me to an elderly pediatrician for my medical issues and he said he thought I would be a musician, so she bought a guitar. It rotted in a closet for 15 years before she sold it. I'm more suited to a soldering iron. Lesson: find something you're suited to. It's not always what you expect.

    Practice doesn't necessarily make perfect, but it works better than not trying.

    I don’t care if others are tired of me saying it. I feel sad because I don’t have a relationship. :(

    Similar boat, am trying to detox from my abuser but I’m trying to understand that having no relationship is far better than having a bad one!

    Markness --- When you say how you feel, people tell you to *snap out of it*/knock it off/grow up....etc? So then you feel sad & angry, and inferior? For not meeting expectations (yours & other people's)?

    The more time you dedicate to something - the better you get at it. Depression is no different.

    I feel like I did back in 2006 when I learned I had Aspergers all over again. Sad, alone, and hopeless. :(
    Markness
    Why did life deny me happiness?

    Frequent use of the passive voice, I see in your comments. Gives the impression that you regard yourself an object being acted upon, more than you see yourself the active subject.

    Just found out the lady I met today is in a relationship. :(

    Any potential social growth will once again being denied to me. That’s been happening to me since my developmental years.

    "denied to you"....as if there were a panel of judges, doling out rewards.

    Turns out she was just dating someone and it didn’t pan out. But apparently she’s dating someone else again.

    I was told I am too ugly to ever have a girlfriend. :(

    Uh, I think you need to re-read up on the basics of genetics. Pay attention to the fact that with megafauna like humans, where there are many many possible genetic combinations, a man/woman may not look precisely like any ancestor.

    Sometimes people just have the shortest straw pulled for them, and it's not their fault.

    That being said, your relatives will be sure to remind you how much you look (& act) like Uncle So & So... ;)

    I feel sad that I don’t have a girlfriend and there appears to be no hope of having romance ever coming into my life.

    Please don't be sad. I went thru a lot of my life never meeting anyone l truly liked.

    Then l was married and it turned abusive. And l am a female. Don't give up, keep trying, l like friendships, that is a good thing.

    My new medicine has caused me to have hypersomnia and I don’t get up until 12:00 because of it.

    Sorry Markness, let your doc know if you are feeling low and maybe he can change dosage? Or write a new script.

    When people bully, l get upset but l know state my feelings and don't back down, not sure if you can start trying this out, just don't become confrontational.

    I keep feeling like I am a loser who is behind everyone else here just like I did on Facebook and other forums. I can’t keep up with anyone.

    I agree. I feel the same. My therapist left. Almost everyone on Facebook are couples which I don't want as friends. Never any single girls.

    My birthday is tomorrow but I don’t have a girlfriend or wife to spend it with.

    The former. I suppose I am just so depressed that I wish my hopes alone would change things. Even people who are severely depressed somehow manage to establish relationships but they have been denied to me.

    How does repeating the negative statements help you?

    I agree I am in the same boat. My birthday was without an wife or girlfriend just a couple and an single guy we hung out.

    The people at the clinic think I need a different job.

    They asked me what I really wanted to do and I couldn’t answer concretely. I don’t have any job skills besides what I know from the library, I don’t have a college degree, I am embarrassingly bad at math, I am also embarrassingly bad at interacting with people socially, and I am considered a loser for my life situation so it makes others feel entitled to bullying me. I really should just be put out of my misery.

    So you're saying that you don't have any ideas for other work, yourself, and the clinic people asked, but didn't suggest any other type of employment.
    Markness

    One suggested I maybe find work with animals but I am daunted by the idea because I would probably get mauled by a large dog in either a shelter or veterinary setting since I am weak for a man. My body can’t build muscles and I don’t have a survival instinct that truly works.

    I don’t feel up to attending group therapy today.

    Isn't that what therapy is about? Learning to work through the pain, not trying to avoid it......

    It is but something is just so wrong with my brain that it resists treatment. I don’t like it at all. Living with this nightmarish condition I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

    Sounds like something worth talking about, with your therapist.

    I am not looking forward to my birthday this Thursday. :(

    Birthdays are stressful; I always feel better the next day.
    A happy day-after-birthday to you.

    Does the universe not want me to have a relationship and to just suffer until I die?

    How is that a helpful thought loop?

    It doesn’t help. Life, however, has always been harsh on me.
