scale of -10 to +10, how do you feel right now?

Post Reply New Topic

Hi and welcome to the site! Just jump right in. People here aren't too judgmental. People are open to most opinions and things being discussed.

+1. I was going for a lower number, but optimism won out.I always have an insidious belief that I can find a way to improve my lot. I haven't settled on it being a blessing or a curse....?

Thanks for the introduction fifasy! May I ask what your favorite things to do/talk about on this site are? Also, is this an appropriate site to post a rant about my personal autism related struggles, or is it more general discussions? I'm asking because I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable with the personal feels, but I don't have anyone to talk to about it so it's kinda built up over time...

Yeah, people won't mind you posting a rant or something with strong feelings on here. A lot of people do that.

I mostly ask people for advice on here, and post rants and share things I think people might be interested in or find helpful.

Welcome to the site. Don't worry about making people uncomfortable. If they don't want to read your post, they won't. And the people who do might find comfort in your situation, knowing that they aren't alone, that someone shares their problems. You might end up helping them, or they might end up helping you. You just need to speak your mind sometimes, and this site is just about doing that. So as fifasy said: jump right in!

Started watching a TV series that brings up memories and sad feelings.
I'm happy for not having to work tonight, which might seem like a small thing, but I don't care.
A friend invited me to a metal festival next weekend, and I'm going because I want to expand my horizons (in every sense). Although, I'm worried that my fear of crowds might make me feel uncomfortable.

Busting my hump to turn my house, which got turned into an episode of Hoarders in less than an hour yesterday, back into a HOME. If the rain will stop long enough for me to take two mattress and box-spring sets to the thrift store, I will be winning the battle.

It feels good to have a body that is capable of sustained hard labor again. MAN, does it feel good.

I'm very grateful to be dealing with all this STUFF, instead of being autocratically disinherited again. Very grateful to the people who knew what a freak I am and let me be part of Grandma's life, death, and estate anyway. Yes, I acknowledge that it was an act of Christian charity and respect for Grandma's wishes, not any genuine liking of me, but-- GOOD ENOUGH.

Right now I have to remind myself of that fact. The chaos is unbelievable. Having panic attacks about every hour over what could happen if anyone saw this mess. Executive functions definitely challenged.

Don't wanna drive 6 hours to visit Hubby's very socially correct, very outgoing relatives who very much don't like me.

Gonna do it anyway, because SIL's only child graduated high school with multiple honors and it needs to be done.

Whatevs, Lord.

It's summer, I just had a great burger, I'm gonna get some ice cream, and I'm going to the mall tomorrow

Oblivion would be wonderful. Death, sleep, ten hours of meditation a day, take up opiates, whatever.

Oblivion would be wonderful.

^^^ I find that you're lucky to be as smart as you are.

I wish I had your written abilities.

There is so much in your head----that "oblivion" is an impossibility.

I know it would be nice, though, if you were able to find the path to the River Lethe....and always find a way back to the "real world" when you so desire it.

A trillion. I feel like a trillion.

I heard that the Westboro Baptist Church is planning pickets in my town.
