| The thing is my life has turned into a giant jigsaw puzzle. Lol. I'm constantly working to solve problems that make up the larger picture. My job used to lead me to constantly 2nd guess people's intentions and analyze why I was being targeted or question if I was being targeted. Now I stopped caring... |

| ....so I stopped posting on here for a while. I couldn't break my focus from all the things I had to do and that was my way of keeping myself going. But I need a break and I miss the days when I could simply escape into a book. Now everytime I pick one up all I think about are either current or past... |

| Sometimes depression can feel more like exhaustion and overwhelming feelings. I'm there right now. I hav very little energy to do anything that I love, and what energy I do hav is wasted on a job that breaks me down emotionally. I felt similar when I was in school. Kids broke me down and then I had ... |

| I was dx with PTSD, so maybe that's what's going on. I've tried meeting with counselors, but they are either too over worked to give me their full attention or they're rude to me. The rudeness makes me wonder what it is about me that makes them think it is okay to treat me like that? After just gett... |

| Two reasons to NOT commit suicide: Living and achieving pisses off the people who say we will be nothing. Even if we only do something that is less than what we hope for ourselves. It would leave a nasty disgusting mess and only hurt the people who care about us. Even if we are only close to a selec... |

A song on the radio. Neighborhoods I drive thru or a restaurant that I drive by. Oh now I remember hang... |

| How do you shake off bad memories?? I feel like I'm drowning in them lately. Everything I do reminds me of how someone hurt me or how I humiliated myself. People just seem to ruin everything for me. |

| It takes practice and hard work to get good at things. I would suggest choosing things you would like to be good at or think you could be good at with some practice. Then put time and effort into getting good. = ) |

I always picked myself up and said things would go better next time or I will find something that fits my strengths. But I feel like things will never get better. I will ... |

I agree it sounds like aspergers is a possibility. Some of these things might be getting worse temporarily due to adolescence. If that's the case, some things should get better in time.
Tack sa mycket. = ) |

| The NTs make and enforce the rules for social interaction. NTs are the teachers in the schools, the popular girls, the jocks (and the popular people in most subcultures). Most of the people who own businesses and are in positions to hire people are also NTs. They have the power. By the very nature o... |

I say nice things, but I find it exhausting to analyze everything I say before and after I say it. I also need a lot of time to myself and can not constantly socialize. This leads to time f... |

| For me....I spent my whole life accepting and struggling to be like NTs and all I got (with few exceptions) was judgement, rejection, and abuse. If we are the group being discriminated against...why would we work to accept the people who habitually misunderstand and mistreat us? Do women need to wor... |
