| I hate to use the word "can't" but I woke up this morning feeling like a gold fished in a big (though beautiful) ocean. Social media is too much, my family is too much, my health is too much, obligations are too much. I just want to get back in bed. And this is not particularly depressive ... |

I learned I had choices in how to respond to any individual. My autism would not let me see I could choose to do things differently than ... |

| Dear Klanka. So as we're not supposed to obey the Law of Moses, we're not supposed to obey the Ten Commandments? They seem a good set of rules to live by, thou shalt not kill and everything, didn't Jesus agree with those either? The other thing I've never understood - though it makes great reading ... |

| Do you live alone? If so, that can play hell with self-motivation. I'm usually more active when there's a bit of pressure from others to get off my butt, though too much pressure makes me feel like shutting down.

| Don't be so hard on yourself. Trendy is not always cool. In fact, trendy videos are the ones I avoid. And you're right about the clickbait. That's why I don't like the modern pop music, its not as artistry driven as back in my younger years. |
