| People dont seem to want to be my friend. I'm sad about it. I'm 20. I have Autism and Schizophrenia. I think that's the reason I have no friends.

| Yes. People think I'm lazy because I sleep a lot. I get tired really easily. People think I'm lazy because I do not have a job and I am 20. I also have a mental illness. |

Even sitting down and having a conversation seems impossible. I think I will stay in my room tomorrow. I do not want to be around people. I dont... |

I wore diapers til I was 7. In those years my parents had to make sure I could not undo my pants.
I managed to undo my pants a few times and smear. It was a sensory thing. It stressed my parents out a lot.
I did it even after being potty trained. I remember my grandma walking in on me doing it. |
