| I already questioned the idea of psychological needs and overall people's idea of what being a human even is. Found too few of it. Many are either prominently in philosophical discussions or related to spirituality practices related to the mind and beliefs. It was not talked about at large. And rare... |

| That title I used isn't good. I shouldn't have told anyone not to hate or to hate anything. This is an article I cut and pasted into here because I was frustrated that no one noticed it where I originally posted it, and that title is more for getting readers' attention on a general interest site th... |

| What is it you're looking for Edna Just something for sleep. Not staying and falling asleep. To make sleeping not stressful and actually restful, then waking up way less painful getting out of bed over every day over and over. My body feels heavy everytime I lay down on bed to sleep. Even for a sho... |

| Oh right Is this like a hormone thing I'd hate to not be able to sleep I don't know. Even melatonin did not solve it. At best, it just made me give a more stable circadian rhythm as long as I have the hormones for it. But that sheer inertia every waking up... That did not went away. Sometimes any s... |

I think the trick is is to not expect too much from it
I don't expect much either.
Yet I got whatever effects people with mental health issues might be wanting from it...
But that's not what I'm looking for. |

| I sit. If I had a choice and if I could, I'd sleep sitting. That's just me, mainly because my upper respiratory anatomy is questionable. The only thing I can confirm is that I do not have polyps and lying down gives me a higher chance of mouth breathing or not breathing. Else, I hate sleep. I still ... |

| I've heard the idea that you need to be aggressive when you first meet someone so you don't get bullied in subsequent interactions. I think this is a distorted social skills born out of a toxic environment, and unwillingness to learn.But I don't have the ability to tell at a glance whether the envi... |

Has anyone here gotten good at something without practising it? Well, why would one expect social skills to work... |

| I do not hate autism treatments. What I hate was that I have conditions that had nothing to do with autism, but blames autism for it. Then dismissed that I need an attitude change because "everyone suffers" or offer me antipsychotics because that's the first assumption in "treating au... |

To a version of me that could've been yet it didn't:
You could've saved my family.
And have the life I would've decided to have.
But fate decided...
That I couldn't be you.
I was robbed.
Did not matter why or how.
It is done.
I am here and you're not. |

| I'm more of the type who randomly laughs at random small things than randomly cry over it. I don't know. I cannot relate with crying because one is overwhelmed and a sight of some slight push someone into crying. However, I've yet to find someone who randomly laughs at just as very random small thin... |

| There's a good, good reason why I'm great with go-away skills than coping skills; Coping won't make me move. Coping won't put me closer to things that aligns my value. Because I value moving through. Hell, my values might as well be against the entire premise of coping skills itself. A good, good po... |
