Again I have countered an NT attack. This is how it went:

Because my father has an injury, I had to drive him to his dentist appointment today. While he was getting his teeth checked, I waited in the waiting room and glanced over some magazines.
A little later the female dentist appeared. After saying politely hello, she started to insult me by saying that my teeth looked yellow. Then she wanted to grab or touch my mouth so I dodged away. Then to top it, she started interrogating me: "What is your age?", "Why aren't you married?" with a fault finding glare in her eyes. Despite all of this and to her dislike of course, I kept cool and flip-flopped the insult, so I said:
"Because, madam, nice and beautiful women are very rare. " 8)
Ha, take that! :mrgreen:

Confirmed that the bills for the treatment for all my mental health crap are indeed probably my family's biggest financial burden at the moment. My mom says we aren't bad off financially, but still, it makes me feel really guilty. And I don't even know how much of this is really helping. And even if it is, will it ever get me to the point of being able to function in society? If not, well, what's the point?

^I kind of know how that feels, since I don't have a job and I'm still living at home. I feel guilty about it from time to time.

I am crossing my fingers that my vocational counselor calls me back today. I found a job posting that I think would be a good fit but I don't know what I am supposed to do next.

if the call doesn't come, you might send a cover letter and resume unless the posting links to an online application, which you could fill out.

That's kind of what I was thinking I would do if I don't hear from her in a couple hours. It's an online application.

Adulthood sucks. I want to be 21 again. I tried to be 21 again, this morning.

Gosh-dang, I have to update the video drivers on my mom's computer again? This is really obnoxious.

That sounds odd, as I though you would only have to do that roughly once a month. In fact, I can't update drivers or anything as, I don't have my own personal pc rather having to use a library computer

Yeah, I never had this problem with my computer - in fact, I don't remember ever updating the video drivers for a computer before, although it's possible the computers I've had did it automatically as part of their routine updates. With my mom's computer, it's more like once a week that I have to do this :roll:

Somehow I can seem and even feel like I'm doing okay while at the same time being very ready to be done living :? It's quite perplexing.

I think I'll finish off the rest of my Old Dutch nachos. Turn my solitary Saturday night into a party while people are getting drunk at night clubs.

First there was the cinnamon challenge and now there's the Tide Pod challenge. What next, the Drink Your Own Pee challenge?
