I hope I don't get another stupid call from this stupid number I don't recognize that keeps calling. I picked up yesterday and couldn't understand a word the person on the other line said, except for asking if they could speak to me(sounded like telemarketing call center or something though) so I hung up.

Then today I had my alarm set to wake me up at around 9:30 so of course they call me at freaking 8 in the morning before I wanted to get up of course I didn't answer it because I was half asleep and wanted to continue sleeping in until 9:30. I called back after I got up because this is like the 3rd time they've called and I was trying to see who the hell it is. But it didn't say what company or anything just said 'this call will be recorded for quality assurance' or something and directed me to a person I could not understand so didn't know what else to do aside from hang up on them.

And trying to look up the number online to see who it belongs to is completely useless, its like you have to pay to even get so much as an individual or company name as to who is calling you.

Be careful.
I've heard some will call just to get you to call back so you can then be charged an exhorbitant call rate, and they will try to keep you on the phone as long as possible.
Keep an eye on your charges.

I feel like I'm about to have a huge rage attack and I'm going to smash and wreck everything in my apartment because I'm so sick of the curbies and anti-vaxxers with their smug and superior attitudes thinking they must save us from our terrible affliction. And that it's their destiny like the world police or imaginary superheroes they think they are to tell everyone that vaccinations are eeeevil and autism is worse than pertussis or whooping cough or even freaking smallpox!

That whatever I do, someone is going to interpret my words and/or behaviour in a way that was not intended.

I wanted to see my friend today but I don't think it is going to happen. I guess I'll just work on my art and mess around with Paint some more.

Really feeling the discordance between my actual body and the body it feels like I should have. Everything feels wrong.

That's life Raleigh. We all can have some dysfunctional quality. We have to look past all of our dysfunctional qualities to look at our functional qualities focusing on the functional to not worry about that someone who is interpreting you differently, so that you get the interpretation you want. Alright. All of this pantomiming about how functional or dysfunctional we can be or look or feel or act is never going to help us find happiness in our life. I can be over-dramatic about my problems as well and still am trying to recuperate with all of the problems I am facing.

You gotta overlook humiliation to get through life, because humiliation will always show up unexpectedly.

:lol:

I got another fear to overcome which is not worrying about the responses I get from replying to comments like that or even no response. I've also faced when I started trying to help others that I end up setting myself back.

for starters- increases in the number of "senior moments" in a given amount of time. losing control over sphincter functions. getting lost in the cobwebby corridors of one's own mind. anxiety due to not knowing what important things one is forgetting about, which is the worst kind of anxiety. the hard-won [too GD late to help me] lessons this old phart wishes to impart on all the young gassers, is to take seriously proper and prophylactic care of one's body and mind while young enough to forstall permanent damage.

forgetting why you went into a room and trouble finding the exact word are normal aging changes and not indicative of dementia. incontinence is a whole separate problem, probably not related to dementia unless the dementia is quite advanced, which is obviously not your case. you should see a doc. to deal with my aging brain, i keep a calendar and lists.

I am anticipating the start of a student event at my school {which is where I am now} that will begin in approximately thirty minutes from now.
