Bloody psychiatry. It groups endless symptoms into endless sydromes and disorders, and yet they don't know the cause of these symptoms. They just drug you up with horrendously toxic SSRI's or MAOI's, and send you on your way. Psuedo-science Rolling Eyes

Wow, don't you love how you can sometimes hear people talking and bitching about you so loud and clear that you can hear it behind closed doors? Normally this kind of thing was limited to peers and coworkers but now it's in my own family.

I guess it's a Korean thing but my mom has a very loud and uncontrollable voice diction so everytime she's on the phone I can hear her every word from down the hall. She's been complaining twice to my sister today about how I have no work or money despite that I'm going to vocational school. Still complaining about how I should work because everyone has to. I hear this stuff all the time but god I'm really super depressed now after hearing this conversation for the second time today!

It's pointless now to fight her over why it is I am unemployable or why I'm incapable of holding down a job for more than a few months. I'm tired of them screaming at me that I'm using my ASD as an excuse despite the fact that all the unhealthly symptoms of it have been infront of their faces for the last 25 years. Just pointless now.

Thanks for reminding me how much my life sucks, mom. Now I'm too somber to concentrate on anything even with your loudmouth b*tchy self now at work.

Oh, the frustration ...

Why do people ignore me? Why do they look at me and treat me like I'm a dunce? If you simply do what I ask of you when I ask it, there wouldn't be all of this last minute running around.

I realize I cry because I'm frustrated, not because I'm hurt. School ... I've cried every day for the past week now. (College freshman--I don't know how I'm going to handle it.)

Also, I have to deal with my idiot of a financial adviser. He is so stupid. I'm rehearsing what I want to talk to him about and guessing his questions and rehearsing those answers. God, I hate being an adult. But even when I was a child, I still had to act like an adult.

I want a cookie. Or a really chocolaty cupcake with rich mocha frosting.

I'll make cupcakes tomorrow and let you know.

Ah, I've been thinking about what adds suckage to life; reflection.

I've always wandered why I'm so happy in my dreams compared to in reality. I would say my dreams are always pleasant; they're not. I've seen family members die in vivid detail in my dreams, and it's as harrowing, albeit less permanent than real life. It's that at no point is the past permanent and significant, and there is no reflection whatsoever. I never think about anything, I just do, and feel, and in essence, live. Damn reflectance

I'm pissed of about a lot of things. One of them is that I feel like an idiot and my future's gone to hell and I am so painfully aware of AS and I'm the only one who can help myself because no one else here [IRL] knows about it and so I have to be considerate to myself when no one else is because they don't know.

The new neighbors across the back alley.........

The new neighbor's damn dog across the back alley barking at night is getting really annoying...along with their whiny little girl who constantly whines when daddy cant cater to her right away or give her what she wants right away.Before those neighbors moved in, things were pretty quiet...now the peace has gone to hell in a handbasket.They didnt squish down their cardboard boxes from moving, so the garbage man didnt take em, so the boxes are still sittin by the fence and if it gets windy, they will all blow onto everyone else's properties..and guess who's gonna be cleanin it.Their kids were throwing sticks and rocks around...they almost hit my vehicle a few times. Evil or Very Mad ..dont need my insurance rates goin up cuz of em.

I never had problems with my other neighbors.The ones next to us who lived here a long time have a little 8 year old boy...and he has been very well behaved...Hes a good kid and never whines.Ive never had problems with neighbors EVER...not even back home in Vegreville at my family's place.

My heart is so broken. I can actually feel it throbbing against the inside of my chest, bashing around trying to get out and break free, whenever I hear him speak.

Or smell a similar smell

It's just SO painful.

I wish I couldn't love.

Im one of only two price checkers at my workplace...I like the hours and job security I get cuz of that...but after a while, there is so much work, but so little staff for such...it gets tiring....it was busy today and so many people in Red Deer leave things and carts in the aisles, they stick things like fish in the magazine racks, they try to go out through the in door and they tend to leave messes in the store. Luckily in less than a few weeks I basically memorized where most of the stuff is in that whole big store....the advantages of being on the spectrum Very Happy If a person asks for something, I can basically tell them exactly where it is without going there.SUch as ...the pickles are in aisle 25 on the left hand side in the middle.

My parents offered me money a couple of weeks ago to paint the ceilings in the kitchen and lounge. I had planned to do it last weekend, but couldn't because of illness and a family gathering. Now they've started doing it. They know PERFECTLY WELL that I am going to start it this weekend; but they can't be patient and stop doing my job for me. They know that the only reason I haven't started is because for the past couple of weeks, I've been so sick and exhausted that all my energy is taken up with dragging myself out of bed and to work. Now they'll probably do it all, and I won't get the money, which I needed to help pay for things like citizenship processing fees and medication to help with my anxiety.

I hate tabloids! If a news report/all-related show involving gossip is on, I sniff and walk out of the room.

Even worse, I found one last week that reports who everyone (in something I like)'s girlfriends are and other gossip trash like that. I've been debating emailing this cruel parasistic leech and giving her a piece of my mind. (and I can't drink a 'tall glass of milk' without thinking of this sickening website).

Who finds knowing that stuff interesting, seriously? I could care less if my guy has a girlfriend or not, I will love him either way. He will always be my baby!

That 'glass of milk' makes me sour.

Okay, this is late, but the cupcakes were delicious and I could use another one now.

I'm over the whole "New freshman" thing, but now I ... I don't know. I'm angry and frustrated and I don't know what about (ugh, ending a sentence in a preposition). It's Aspie, isn't it, to have that inability to fully articulate what exactly is troubling you? I've always told people I don't know why I am crying and I've been called a crybaby because of it.

I think I'm really upset because ... and this sounds so STUPID ... but someone took my words, nearly verbatim, and posted a similar reply on a fan site of which I am a member. It's like my post, but shorter. Of course, this person has never posted before, but it's like I got ignored. Maybe it was just an oversight, but I would like ... some kind of recognition. I think it comes from growing up in a home where my family member would deflect the praise away from me and onto herself. Or, when I was in elementary school (Aspies can't forget anything, can they?) and no one would comment on my work, making me think that I did a poor job. The teacher would say something, but so what? It's a teacher. Peer acceptance was the most important.

How would an NT handle something like this? I don't have anyone to turn to. My mother doesn't tolerate crying and my sister is heartless and I don't trust anyone. Most people think I'm strange anyway and crying would just tack on another bout of strangeness. I can't tell if knowing I'm an Aspie is a blessing or a curse.

How can I possibly be a screenwriter (that's what I'm studying in school)? I need public recognition for my work and if I don't get that, then what am I left with? I think I need to see a therapist. Again.

i watched an episode of "detonators" today.
it is a show on a science channel that documents the implosion sequences of buildings and structures being demolished.

the show was broken into 2 separate structures on the opposite sides of the world that were being demolished and the focus of attention shifted from one to the other during the show.

i have mild prosopagnosia and i fail to remember what face is talking about what.
if they stuck to 1 demolition in the first part of the show, and then if they focused on the second demolition in the later part of the show it would have been better for me.

but they chopped and changed from one demolition site to another in the show and i recognized the buildings and could situate myself if they were in the camera view fields, but when it was someone in an office discussing stuff, i had no idea who they were or what demolition job they were talking about.

so i sat and agonized through all the preamble and then i saw in the final 5 minutes of the show, the 2 structures actually being demolished.

i was very cranky indeed when i saw the buildings start to come down in the show.

they had many camera's set up to film both sites and the editor stitched together 1 second snippets from each camera from both sites into a visual shamozzle!

i wanted so much to quietly see each building going down from the point of detonation, continuously and uninterruptedly until the dust had cleared. i wanted to see it as one continuous sequence.
i did not want to see a patchwork of some editor's ego maniacal idea of how to please ADD sufferers!!!.

goodness...... i may have to think about trotting off to bed.
