    My head is pounding. :(

    I tend to take tylenol or just rest when I get exertion headaches.

    That doesn't seem sufficient. Prevention of the situations that lead to the headaches sounds better, to me.

    Maybe you are straining too hard while on the toilet?

    I’ve been told to not socialize if it stresses me out but how will shutting myself away help me get better?

    First, you name is so cool. That's a good point. Maybe limiting social interaction based on how you feel. Also finding people that will embrace your silence and just be there because they like you.

    Telling you not to do something if it stresses you out doesn't really help you get to a point where socializing is less stressful, does it?

    It needs to be a balance. You should get out of your comfort zone but not excessively such that it becomes counterproductive.

    Spoke up again and the co-supervisor got upset.

    No, I just wanted to speak my mind and not bottle my emotions up.

    Just remember that the trick to winning is to not get angry or upset. Being rational is always good. If the supervisor did something unacceptable or treated you badly, maybe he or she just have to be a little upset and deal with that.

    Just don't over do it. But at least you are feeling more empowered.

    I spoke back at the co-supervisor after feeling like she was purposefully singling me out.

    It bothers me that you used the word "at" (spoke back at) rather than "to." At implies no interaction, as if you grant the other person no validity.

    So glad to hear this. You cleared out some concerns and you feel better. Sometimes we don't get the results but we do feel better. This is a big step.

    This will lead you to having other conversations and you holding your ground. It will get easier. Just walking a thin line of not getting fired.

    Why do some people hate me for expressing my emotions?

    Not me!

    @Markness That seems like one of those "when did you stop beating your wife?" questions. How do you know it is a fact that there are people who hate you?
    Markness
    I don’t want to be around my siblings and their families in public unless I have a family of my own.

    Yeah, it is, after all, a display situation, where everybody needs as many points as they can get or else they're losing, right? It sounds like you're saying it's that sort of situation.

    It’s more that I wonder why they succeeded while I didn’t despite coming from the same origin.

    They are them and you are you. Specifically, would you want their exact situations? No substitutions. You have to take exactly what they have. Same wife. Same kids. Still feel like they're such raving successes?
    Markness
    To all those who bullied me when I was in my developmental years: I hope you’re happy.

    They missed out on a great person

    The vicious cycle I am in keeps me hopeless.

    Hang in there until you get that help from the doctor. That's change, something new. Things could get easier, or at least easier to deal with.

    How do you cope with working? Im about to enter the work force and im scared out of my mind.

    You are correct, Im just worried about the social component. I worked two jobs in the past and i experienced terrible anxiety that got in the way of my duties. I am fearful that this might happen again.

    @cornman What have you learned through those experiences that can help you in further job situations?

    I honestly just grit and bear it. I hate it but if I don’t work, I will be broke.

    I wish my actual journey would begin.

    You're on it now. It started about 33 years ago. P.S. The future is not a destination; it's a direction.

    I got up to take out the trash but my stepdad still went ahead and did it anyway.

    I wish my life was like Raymond Watts’s.

    I enjoy his music. He also gets to make it his life.

    That’s sad to hear about the person who won’t commit to you.

    PIG? Never heard of the guy till now. And I'm British.

    " <PÎG> is Raymond Watts, a British musician whose brand of electronic rock is danceable and deadly serious in turn. Watts's words spring from the well of gallows humour in a world of corruscating cruelty and truth. <PÎG> climbs peaks and mines troughs, and musical genres slide and collide like tectonic plates. "

    Before PIG, he was a vocalist for KMFDM and has since been an intermittent member for them. He’s also a big influence on Trent Reznor and Marilyn Manson.

    I thought I was going to have an appointment today.

    Why'd you think you had an appointment some place? What led you to believe that?

    I may have misheard 13 as 18 or my mind thought it was that number due to me having dyscalculia.

    When I talk to a person on the phone and a date for an appointment is the reason for the call, I ask that person to not hang up
    until I go over and mark the correct time and day on the calendar. I say again the time and day, for the person to verify. Then we're done with the call, after I've marked it on the calendar.
