of everything and everyone, especially myself.

nothing i do is ever good enough.

everything i attempt is like "you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear". it is NOT "you can do anything you set your mind to".

constantly misunderstood

overpowered outsmarted outnumbered

(puke!)

(rolls eyes)

Sorry to hear that SFBUM. Could you not get state support for your condition?

Who tells you this-yourself or others?

And the truth is we cannot do anything we set our mind to. That is the big egalitarian behaviorist lie we have been fed. We all have limitations we can't overcome with all the effort in the world.

Sorry to hear that SFBUM,
my heart is with you I hope you can get to a place where you can stop experiencing life as a battle between you and the world. Never be afraid to ask for help and I hope you can find a place to start the dance.
