• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

After reading the wonderful story about the dog that didn't bark in the nighttime, I thought, "That lad is just like me".
But I don't want to join a bandwagon, or feel that there is something special about me, and I am certainly not highly intelligent or having a huge expertise on a special activity. I also have rather a wicked sense of humour. But the last thing I want to be is patronising, which is unforgivable.
The truth is that I have few social skills, never know what's going on about me, and constantly find myself in hot water. I've learnt a lot about myself from this and found better ways of coping.
Perhaps we can all learn from Aspergers.

I loved that book, too. I laughed through a lot of it because I understood what the guy was doing and why he was doing it--I was like, "finally, a protagonist I can relate to!" I wish there were more books like that. I'm hiding in my house a lot lately. It's a major victory when I call a friend or go out in my car. It's funny. Everyone thinks I'm so "normal," ha ha what's that anyway. I just don't want to see anyone. I go between not wanting to see or talk to anyone ever and never wanting to be alone ever again. I know I should clean something but I walk around in circles and I don't know how to begin. Did I mention I'm a wife and mother? They even love me. Thank God for God. But I even forget to turn to Him. But when I'm up I can.

Sorry about the whining, didn't mean to go here. Thanks for listening.
