    I have started journaling my handwriting is not legible nor can it be sustained for long but I have been using Day one for mac and I like it

    My handwriting is horrible as well, but weirdly enough, I write way more by hand than most people around me. I'm the only one in my university degrees who takes notes by hand but not using a computer, but my handwriting hasn't improved at all since I was a child.

    I like my handwriting, even that it is hard to read and teachers tried to say that I should change it. even if I could, I never would want and I always said "no" to them, because it´s a part of myself and good how it is. and it was barely enough so that teachers could read it and so that not gave me 0 points. but I can also write in leaflet and thats better readable.

    I have terrible handwriting too, and it's acted as a block any time I thought of keeping a journal because all through school the teachers scolded me for bad handwriting. I don't want to use a computer to journal because I think a journal should be pen on paper and not electronic.

    I broke my toe two days ago and I will be housebound for a couple weeks due to being mostly unable to walk. Very boring.

    Has anybody watched Aspergers are us? It's a doc of netflix I really liked it. I know people like them and it felt relatable to me as well.

    thank you! I miss this forum. I don't have much free time these days but I still check my notifications every couple days so I can still be reached by PM. Your comment made me so happy it's good to know that others think of me as much as I think of them.

    I am currently using some of my big wonderful ideas advocating for change in my program and have ended up in leadership positions I am so glad I have been able to use this forum as a testing ground. I will be going home for a bit soon so maybe i will have more time to be on who knows.

    @Butterfly88 no I am in a group home transition program. We do have laptops just ones given to us on their wifi. They can see what we do. @phantom See above @Varzar I think to make sure we are not doing anything "bad" the overall company does not allow connection to their wifi ever I think for security reasons.

    I understand. Sort of frustrating they don't afford you more of a sense of privacy though. :/

    @PastelPetals Oh okay. I honestly have no idea if they track what I do here but I’m not doing anything terrible. But I agree with @Varzar that more privacy would be nice.

    Maybe you could go to the library. It's not the same as using a phone, but libraries do have internet.

    I have made it. It is nice here and the people seem nice thus far. They have a nice bay window good for sitting in and it's mostly quiet.

    So I did a neck ultrasound and I guess I do have Hashimoto's after all. I do feel a lot better since taking synthroid and I leave Sunday!

    I have a low TSH, I think that's the polar opposite of Hashimoto's. I've only been treated for it by Naturopathic Doctors with herbs and supplements. It was pretty effective. How does the medication work or make you feel? I'm very curious.

    @Yeshuasdaughter Well Synthroid is just the synthetic version of T4 (thyroid hormone) TSH is the hormone your brain puts out to tell your thyroid to make T4 but mine does not do a good job at that so I have high TSH. Since it's just a replacement of the hormone it's been good. No side effects so far and I have energy now!!

    Two weeks till I move! Also yes I am still here but I am have tired so I have not been on but my thyroid meds are slowly starting to work
    Butterfly88

    Good luck with the move! I hope your thyroid meds help. My thyroid meds help me.

    Tinnitus won't let me sleep. It's been super bad 24/7 this week. Then I can't sleep..then it gets worse. It's an awful cycle.

    I'm not trying to drown the sound out. It's a high pitched thing, for years, unceasing. The tv music just gives a little something else to think about. Rather than that high pitch....which is not at all pleasant or fun to consider.

    Tree is kinda right, she often is. It's hard to get used to other noises sometimes. A ticking clock, an electric fan, the bathroom exhaust fan, soft music in another room, the spooky sound of a barely cracked open window

    They are a distraction from the internal noise. It doesnt work always or for everyone. Does anyone still use wind up clocks? Tick tock tick tock, it's very soothing. I used to have several in my quarters
