Hello

I am not really new here, but I never post. I posted a couple times in 2012, and then this week also. I don't really want to make a long essay, because I am a bit depressed today. It is my birthday, yippy, not! I hate my birthday because no one calls me no one cares and I just feel the wholeness of being lonely. Yes I have my son however having a kid to take care of 24/7 does not really feel less lonely. I love my son very much, but some days being a single mom just makes me feel used (that might be horrible to say but I feel it sometimes).

I have Asperger's, diagnosed when I was 34. Today I am 37. Before that I was diagnosed as having PDD NOS/ADHD/LD NOS/Depression/anxiety/ with possible Bipolar features, that was what my diagnoses was as a child and into my adulthood, mostly because they didn't know why I was like I was. I felt much like an alien and I still and probably always will feel like an outsider or like I am an intruder into other peoples lives.

I am forever researching everything and have an AA degree in Psychology, I hope to go back to college soon. It has just been difficult in the last few years because my son needed more of my focus and I have had to put a lot of stuff for me to the side. I try not to feel resentful to him, but some times I do.

Anyways that is just a bit about me, sorry if I wandered a lot, I am not having a happy day today. But I felt like I should write something for an (re)-introduction.
 
Hello Ladydragon. I hope you are a friendly dragon like from Shrek rather than the bad ones like Smaug.
I wouldn't want to slay you if it can be helped. Oh and could you please breathe on my bag of chestnuts please ! :)
 
StephF: I CAN be friendly. Though I tend to be a bit moody, but usually don't bite. :) Not sure what blow on chestnuts means, hopefully it is a reference to something, otherwise it might sound a bit naughty.

royinpink: I am feeling a bit better now that I had a bunch of coffee. I also made some gluten free(I have Celiac) treats for myself and my son to have so I am feeling better after baking. Baking(or a lot of crafty sort of activities) kind of is a calming activity for me.
 
Hi Ladydragon, and happy birthday!

I can relate to the foreverness of research...hope you will share some of your readings in the Resource section, and that you post a little more as your situation allows.

Happy, happy birthday, and give yourself credit for the good you've been and done in your life.
