Anyone get to the point that they get sick of WP?

Post Reply New Topic

Just earlier this month, I had a nervous breakdown in Hawaii. When I got back, I was feeling much better. That aside, I'm never going to be sick of this website; there are a lot of supporters here for me.

I agree with you here, I just came back today after being gone for a year and a half, and it seems like a good chunk of the members here are in the exact same place as they were when I left. I wanted to showcase this forum to my family as a great way to look in to understanding me a little bit better. To ease our relationship with one another... buuut... I feel all the Aspies that are the ones doing great things with the world aren't sitting on this forum. There's something about this forum that makes me very uneasy.

If a person from outside were to see what so many of us are like, I totally get why we're shunned.

I left. I came back. I'm leaving again. There has to be an Aspie forum out there somewhere for people who are actually trying to better themselves, instead of ruminating on it. This place is more hindering than helpful.

>>>>>>Happy happy joy joy ,of the American advert sort (for extra effect of the pharmaceutical lets say middle age man in a viagra advert.

Feel better now ?

And yes I love it here to I got called ass hat recently (and than some) their parents must be so proud.

autism tv is all you need.

As a newly diagnosed it was great to discuss and yes rant about things we have in common. It gave me further explanation for things I both remembered and had forgotten about. But the site is too big. If you miss a day you miss a page worth of material. Thus it takes a lot of time. Too much time. I am working on a boring data entry project that needs to get done and it is to tempting keep on checking the site. I ended up putting on an extension to my browser that blocks specific websites. I disabled it today because there were a couple of important things I wanted to share. The one I put up today was bleak, tomorrows post will be positive.

For the long run I am considering moving to a site that has less traffic and thus more aspie friendly. .

Not necessarily sick and tired of it, but real life has a tendency to take over, and I'll never really have the time or be in the right frame of mind to wander through the forums and/or post.

Well, seems some of you are looking for some success stories. I would share mine. I managed to get into the investment banks for years, even I have lots of peers who are much smarter than me cannot get in. I think it is because we're very focused and determined, which empowered us to be against the odds. Part of it is luck because most people will use intellectual ability as a strong metrics for overall ability. In fact, for most of us, intellectual ability is our strongest ability, but overall ability is way below. Another of make success stories is that I take advantage of the market timing and doubled the value of my studio. It is both courage, wisdom and luck. I also have my fair share of failures. But the following bible concept always helps me to revert my negativity:


From the Purpose Driven Life:

"God loves to use weak people...
Usually we deny our weaknesses, defend them, excuse them, hide them, and resent them. This prevents God from using them the way he desires.

God has a different perspective on your weaknesses. He says, "My thoughts and my ways are higher than yours", so he often acts in ways that are the exact opposite of what we expect. We think that God only wants to use our strengths, but he also wants to use our weaknesses for his glory.

The bible says, "God purposely chose... what the world considers weak in order to shame the powerful." Your weaknesses are not an accident. God deliberately allowed them in your life for the purpose of demonstrating his power through you....

God is never limited by our limitations. The Bible says, "We are like clay jars in which this treasure is stored. The real power comes from God and not from us."

"

That happened to me quite a bit, at one point. Those couple of people haven't been here for a long time. Knock on wood.

I'll never get tired of this website. Although people who are mean to me and are not empathetic about me I get annoyed by.

Well, I hated the relationship predators kept following me in a large group gathering because they are after something that I am not interested in them. However, in this website, I think people follows (or stalk) because they are more like fans to their favourite stars. In that case, I don't see why people are so upset over followers in an electronic way. There may be secret admirers. In that sense, I don't mine a few fans/secret admirer/genuine friendship.

You're both just wishing someone would pay attention to you and so you feel the need to proclaim being stalked (j/k for those who don't see the obvious)

I think the term "stalking" is a bit excessive. I don't think most people pay attention to who does what on here. personally I frequently have to try to remember who is who or what on here as I don't often pay attention. I have to remind myself of who the few tools are who have decided to publicly hate me as I will find myself responding to them in one post or another and then wondering why they reply back with venom or ignore me, or send me a nasty pm, etc.

For the most part I think people on here are relatively ok, even if many are depressed. There are a few tools in every group. It's part of life.

sick of anxiety disorder , though grateful meds gives me a bit of a break early to mid morning

Thanks for FlanMaster's clarifying. I now get it and see the obvious. I have been taking things too literally even in WP. Good to keep learning new things in this community.

My social anxiety level is also quite high. So I checked with a psychiatrist. It turn out anxiety and anxiety disorder are 2 different conditions. If you've anxiety disorder, you'll not be able to go to the stage to get the big prize in a lucky draw. For me, despite of the fear, I would still go and get the prize with my hands trembling. So my anxiety is not yet at the clinically significant level to be a disorder. It just higher than NT that's all.

Well that is good to know. So even though I get knots in my stomach every time I have to go out into public, the fact that I go out into public and "brave the cruelty", then it means I don't have a disorder, just a serious dislike/hate/aversion that I force myself to conquer each and every day.

Perhaps I can use this as a means to keep the 'professionals' from trying to medicate me with everything under the sun until my liver collapses from all the chemicals.

every time I turn around they are looking to prescribe a new pill for something without checking what they are trying to force me to take already. Anxiety is just one of the many things they want to treat chemically.

good grief I thank the lord (and I'm not religious) for medication, the suicide rate for "anxiety" is as high as "depression" some speculate it may even be slightly higher !
