 |
|
First off, I'm still looking for a job though, I get government money. I only get $100 a month because my parents use the other money to pay for my food, clothing, internet, car insurance. It's REALLY REALLY REALLY Hard to manage $100.00 for a whole Month, especially living in a crappy town like I do. I've spend about $25.00 on DVDs, I had to help out a friend and my mother with money too. Plus I have to pay off a credit card bill for $54. I'll be able to pay it off, plus I'm earning some extra money by recycling cans and trading in DVDs to FYE. My parents ask me if I used my credit card and how much money I have which bothers me. I wish that I can find a job.
Plus I'm also getting depression, anxiety and fear and yerning for someone that I can relate too. Instead, I have my parents. It's like I develop a Huge Hatred towards them because our personalities are different and I want someone to relate too. I feel that every single day I need to keep myself from exploding in rage if they say something stupid, insensitive (straight to the fact might be more politically correct of a word), serious, boring, nagging people.
I can only see my best friend once a month now due to my mother going through financial trouble. I don't live with my mom, I Love my Mother even though she can drive me nuts at times, I can feel comfortable to speak my mind unlike my Father and Step Mother. Just in case your wondering, I'm 21 years old and still single which is very depressing. I wished that I had a Tom-boifriend, similar to Tank Girl or Haruko (shown on my profile page with their personality type), I'm ENFP myself. I feel like I just want to go to bed early but I can never ever sleep early much. So I need to find something interesting to keep my spirits up somehow. |

| I can relate to an extent. Been living on my own for 4 years, a crazy mother who is kinda my anchor at times, an father who doesnt understand me (though he's been improving slightly since my diagnosis). I cant compare to the financial aspect since ive been living off of some inheritance, but i'll have to move back in with my parents at the end of the month due to lack of a job for the last 2 years. I went through the depression as well, though that started a month prior to my diagnosis (started due to a kind of online relationship that ended rather abruptly, course thats how i found out about my AS). Do you have help looking for a job, or a job coach who can help you out? I got a job recently, but its not up to par with my college degrees, but the places that require the degrees are being pansies about hiring (and no, i dont disclose my condition). Only thing you can do is keep eyes and ears open . . . try your local ESC, or if you have it, something like Vocation Rehabilitation (curbed some of the depression along with meds). The more angles you have in finding a job, the better your chances of turning things around. If you do nothing, nothing will happen . . . that's a guarantee. But nothing wrong with taking a midday nap if you feel overwhelmed (I still have to during my job searches). Just remember, jobs are still slim, and you're not the only one in your predicament . . . keep going, because something will turn up. |

I just woke up about a half and hour ago and of course I HATE IT and wish I could RAGE when my parents are up, My step mother catches me rushing putting my breakfast together and asks me "Why are you acting so strange". I give the excuse that I woke up late and I'm late for breakfast. Then she just reminds me that It's the weekend and there's nothing to do (aka relax). But I was just pissed off at the fact that I have to wake up and eat breakfast and wake up while my parents are up. I HATE WAKING UP WITH MY PARENTS!  (see thread: Never wanting to get out of bed)
I guess things are a lot better now, I took a drive not long ago.
I miss my Mom. See usually takes me to Rhode Island to see my best friend every other weekend but it's cut down to once a month because she lives in low income. |
