10- my speech went well yesterday and it was the best speech out of everyone at the business showcase. To prove that point, I was the only one that was interrupted with applause not just once, but twice during a 2 and a half minute speech. And of course they clapped at the end as well. My speech moved people to tears and lots of them went over to me and told me how inspiring I am. I couldn't do it without Toastmasters. That is a group that teaches you how to speak in front of people. One of my plans is to speak at autism and mental health conferences and inspire hope into people with disabilities. Just because you have a label on your head, it shouldn't stop you from pursuing your dreams. Everyone can do things and everyone has a talent but sadly, most people don't look for it. I want to be a professional speaker as well as owning my own business. I am an artist and most of you know that by now. At this showcase, we only had about an hour to sell things and there were only between 100-150 people there and we made close to $200. There was actually a line at our booth and we were the only ones that had that much business. The leader from Enterprise for Equity (the business class that I took) told me I am already ready to make the big speeches at conferences. That is my plan starting next year. I know the first few will be scary and I will be nervous, but once I've done it a million times, I will be a natural. In fact people already thought I was a natural at speaking. I know the only problem is during stressful times I lose my language and speak gibberish or disorganized. My mom said if that happens, she will take over but I doubt it will happen. My speech blew people out of the water. I pray I don't get attacked again from certain people on this board for posting successful stories. I have been attacked several times from this person and I hope he doesn't see this.

Patternist: Glad to hear, at least it's not a zero

Hi miss, that's some heavy stuff, it makes me sad just to hear the things you're going through
No one is strong enough, maybe some people can look like that on the outside, but honestly it's better to let it go than burst later or never let it out.
Hope I'm explaining myself in engleesh (:
You are one of the most interesting persons I've ever met, and I'd be very sad to stop having the delight and the honor that is to have you around here, you always bring a smile to my face, and I'm sure also to many other people. You are very valuable, and I don't mean just the forum, but to every single person you know. The kids you are being a teacher right now, didn't you tell me that you love it? And what about that you are being asked to give even more lessons to even more people?
Without you I could have never discovered music like the one that Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan does. In fact I was going to ask you if you've heard Max Richter, nice music.
If you are feeling like you mention, look for help, talk with someone, exercise, get some rest, do a marathon of funny/positive movies (Zoolander, Talladega Nights, Bubble Boy and Spirited Away come to my mind), anything that will make you feel better.
Lots and lots of hugs missC, We are here to support you =)

I'm probably about a 2 right now. I don't feel bad really, but I don't feel good either. And I'm thinking about the past, which always gets me moody.
