| Trying to get to taking a shower, and get dressed so I can hopefully get a walk in appointment or something with my psychiatrist/psychologist(forget which one)....to figure out certain symptoms of either side effects of the prescriptions I got or the mental health issues. I'm really glad you are go... |

| I feel for you. I haven't managed to go to a work Christmas do since 2006. I am going this year because I like the people where I work. They do not know what is wrong with me, but they know I don't drink (religious reasons) and I have told them that I won't eat anything, and that I don't dance and t... |

| Silky, it really gives me so much insight in to how you must feel. Really good post. It's really sweet that you both make the effort for each other. Philosophical question: do you think that if you were just 100% yourself with him, without any niceties, and he loved you just the same anyway, do you... |

You could just write one short letter, and then take it to the Post Office where you can give them the letter and they will charge you for the stamps individually. You can also buy stamps from all sorts of places, eve... |

| Silky, it feels as if you are my twin! It sort of gives me hope in a way, because I am adamant I wouldn't be able to live with anyone, for those same reasons. The breathing, the chewing, the feedback that is expected, and in contrast how accommodated I have become living on my own, and yes just pla... |

| Silky , that's really interesting that you feel drained by him just being there. You mean it's hard to just be yourself when you're with him? Is it that he expects you to be a certain way? Or is it that you need mental stimulus as social interaction isn't as satisfying or too hard? I know for my AS... |

| SilkySifaka: Yes, perhaps I have expected too much too soon - after all, he told me he takes a long time to let someone in, and it has only been 8 months. Also, because of my rejection issues with depression, my tendency is to feel rejected and hurt, and therefore angry when I'm pushed aside, which... |

| Congratulations on your job, I knew you would get something in the end. I am really pleased for you. I always find the first few weeks quite difficult - I get exhausted dealing with all those new people and learning what I have to do and where everything is. For the first week or so of a new job I u... |

| I'm not sure what advice to give, except perhaps find someone else who can meet your (not unreasonable) needs. You have explained what you want, and he has said that this is not possible. Perhaps things moved too fast and he hasn't had time to adapt, but you could waste a lot of your time waiting fo... |

I have the contraceptive injection because I didn't like the idea of having the implant thing under my skin where I could feel it. I don't have periods on the injection and I haven't gained weight on it either, so I am happy. Th... |
