I'm an animal.

I have been making profane, misogynistic, and downright vile posts here on WP. For that, I apologize. I have been on an emotional rollercoaster since the first semester of college let out. Without some sort of structure to my life, I am simply a sedentary creature going through the motions and consuming useless information, as well as food. I think that I've gained more weight. Exercise doesn't help; if anything, its a glorified placebo. Violent images and concepts flood my mind, and every waking hour, I feel like hulking out. I've considered getting a new therapist. The one I have now is both a windbag and a bum.

You must feel awful being full of anger.
I hope things improve for you.

Can you create some sort of artificial structure or activity plan?

We are all just animals really. Change the windbag bum sounds like a good idea.

It's good to realise when you are being antisocial and apologizing. It's a step in the right direction, but won't actually solve the problems. Having a therapist you don't get along with or trust isn't likely to help you any, so a change there is a very good idea. Just remember, no one can fix you. They can only help point the way for you to go and will take a lot of work on your part.

Don't agree with your conclusion about exercise. Do you know what happens to animals that don't exercise ?

I second that. For some aspies, vacations with no structure just doesn't work. What I've found helpful is to have some kind of structure during university vacations (like going to the gym, meeting people, going for long walks etc) but still give myself enough time to rest.
