I have given up on blending in. I have never been good at it. The older I got, the less I wanted to assimilate.
Routines are my friend.
Hang in there and don't give up on you! |

Marijuana made me more anxious so I had to quit but I have read that it may help some folks. (The synthetic ones are dangerous).
Exercise in any amount -- even in bed-- helps my anxiety. Caution not to overdo it. |

| Look up the EEOC nearest you. You can text chat with or call them on the phone. Staff there can determine if anything that happened is chargeable under the ADA or other laws (if you have the energy to do so). Other than that, are you looking for work? Don't wait too long. Others probably have specif... |

Sigh.
I don't focus on the cool peeps and don't have f2f friends anyways. Lots of acquaintances. I am the one they call if they need a ride or no one else is around to hang out with. After years of this subtle sort of being used by others, I now say no more. I am alone more but being used a lot less. |
