-9 I WAS doing so great last week. I was happy and excited for my site that I am working on and thought it would be huge but reality has set in and I realize its worthless and everyone else does it anyway. Now my mom's car doesn't work right and I predict it will cost $1000 making us broke. On top of that my mom is doing what she does best, be sick like always. Just remember when she's sick she comes close to death even with a cold. The thought insertion is also back and it started a few days ago before I got really depressed. The severe depression and anxiety/ stress makes it 295809285932 times worse.

^I'm sorry to hear that. NOT Cool



A friend of mine killed a deer, so he brought me over some venison, which was an excellent surprise. God, i love that stuff. *drools* I haven't hunted in a couple years, so i was really craving some, and haven't had any in a long time. Now I'm a happy camper. Very Happy


Today was a good day, all around, so i give it a +7.624.

I wish that mainstream society would let me be. I will let myself be, in spite of mainstream society, but mostly because I want to let myself be.

Don't you love it when people ignore you to death or treat you like you don't exist? It's called shunning, and honestly it makes me angry. I'm not an attention slut, after all! If said person were treated like wise, they would.... let's just say they would cry about it forever and ever, if they cared like I did.

5.. I suppose my only hindrance at this moment is being able to socialise with members of the opposite sex Embarassed Embarassed As well, trying to simply relax and not let any past demons bother me when it comes to conversation whether it's online or offline..

OMG-That's one p.o.ed customer-totally inappropriate of course. He could always call the Better Business Bureau if he had a problem.

Negative, negative, negative, negative and negative.
My father just shouted at my brother to get up tomorrow and start looking for a job (my brother has been looking for a job since the day after he lost his last one), and about how he had had to get up to let the dog out because my brother was making noises (he hadn't spoken for hours), and about how my brother "stayed in bed all day" (he has a late sleep cycle, but he gets around 7-8hrs of sleep per night, which is less than what my father gets) ]and as he left the room, he noticed my light on (because I'd been so tired that I fell asleep without turning it off, which happens often), and commented
"Another one who lays in bed all f***ing day."

Apart from the hypocrisy, it's not true. I spend more time at work than my father does, and outside of work, I do things that exercise my brain, and I get out of the house and go for walks. My father... sleeps, goes on the computer, and tries to make his children miserable.

I exhaust myself with work and dealing with people. On weekends, I spend a lot of time in bed, because I am doing everything that I can to prevent myself from collapsing completely and irrecoverably. It's not laziness; it's a matter of survival. If people can't tell the difference between exhaustion and laziness, how am I ever going to get help for whatever is wrong with my brain (and if dealing with people in a job strictly related to one's interests for less than 15 hrs/week, with virtually no in-person social contact, is draining to the point of collapse, and this is the least part of the problem, there's something seriously wrong)? I'm tired of being told that I'm very smart and that I just need to try harder. I don't know why people presume laziness rather than an actual problem that has spared my cognitive capacity, but that hits quite hard in other areas.

I can't help feeling like every week's always going to be like this- work, work, work, work, without ever getting enough money to move away from my father to somewhere where I can just be left alone without having to deal with hyprocrisy, verbal abuse and someone who resents my existence; and spending the weekends recovering so that by Monday I'm able to go back to more fruitless work, work, work, work and work.

If I wasn't able to keep in mind that I'm actively working toward changing things, and if I wasn't planning to dance on my father's grave, and if I wasn't too bloodyminded to give up, and if I didn't have the handful of absolutely perfect friends that I do, I'd wonder why I bothered to keep living. It's almost 4am, and I should be asleep, but I decided to come here and rant to distract myself from thoughts of hurting myself. It seems to have worked- I feel slightly better than I did when I first started typing.

I hear you. I'm particularly sensitive to the assumption people make that you're just lazy or don't want something bad enough. Executive dysfunction is a real handicap and has defined my life.
