    @plushy That has a multi faceted answer. Though the long and short of it is that I've, in one way or another, embraced the darkness. Just not...

    Why are you a "closeted goth" ?

    Do not feed into the lies of the mind. No one and nothing can stop you from trying, other than yourself. I draw on occasion. You'll see my profile...

Previously: I muddled metaphors to define deathcake (building up problems in a way that rapidly exhausts my processing capacity), a pictorial guide through an anxiety attack, and described how friends make exploring my psychic landscape safer. True to my condition--and its real definition--I was...
Previously: So my challenge personally seems to be about what I can do to stay in the moment when lightning hits the fault line. How will I slow down, find a virtue in being deliberate, and not confuse it with procrastination?...Go back and read the parasympathetic benefits thread again. It's...
Previously: Deathcake earthquake happens when I let panic drive my need to act, because action looks like a way to control a situation. While it's weird to see panic as a controlling technique, it's even weirder asking what it is that panic controls, and why non-action is so hard to choose even...

I want to let everyone know that I have no hard feelings over the censorship incident that happened last month with my blog. But I think in a way it was a good thing, because it has freed me up to work on a project that is really important to me. Those of you who have been following me know...

Therapy has been a waste so far. I go and still haven't found one I feel I click with and they just sit there and fake smile at me and write notes while I speak and it makes me highly uncomfortable. Therapy sessions should be longer than an hour too. It feels too forced and way too cold. I can't...
Previously: Deathcake is self-directed schadenfreude driven by Murphy's Law: things not only can get worse, but will, and they should do so as fast as possible. Perhaps slowing down is not such a bad idea after all--but what does that process look like? Pain is a great motivator. It alerts me...
I'm only a middling baker, but I do know how to make deathcake. Have you had deathcake? You might know it by another name. It's that richly decadent layer cake built from self-directed schadenfreude: the convincing misery that I am just not that good, that knowledgeable, that worthy, of good...

When I was young, like 4 - 5 years old, my parents used to fight all the time during the nights, I know because I remember every single fight that use to wake me up almost every time, my father start cheating my mother with multiple women and he doesn't even care for his family, and mostly the...
From the east, thunder/ my horse free-foots it, shying/ I clap hand to hat/ trail partnerships/ leave marks in our deepest hearts/ going on and on/ I don't see my tears/ the trail goes underwater/ I don't hear my laugh/ the trail's silent/ I don't feel my bad fortune/ just a saddle burr/...

Earlier this week I posted about a pending date with a woman with whom I’ve been mailing on and off for the past few months. I’ve gotten to quite like her over a variety of factors. I didn’t see a picture of her before so it was pretty much a “blind date” for me. And that in turn made it a bit...

Taking a cue from Spiller's comment (I'd link to it if I knew how): I made myself go into the Games Forum and had a delightful time reading threads and playing. (I think I don't like online games, except Solitaire. But these are fun games!) I'm learning how much AC means to me, which is scary...
Today is one of those calendar dates I like: one in which an historical figure I like had (or made) something happen. Today I remember the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots [links to image from the movie Elizabeth the Great]. Mary isn't an ancestor. I wasn't named for her; there's no particular...

I am now at the point where my problems all seem to have been identified, but there is one more problem precluding me from them: having to take action. This might seem strange to others, me identifying my problems and planning solutions, but reluctant to put them in gear. This is because I have...

Today, starting at 2 pm, I suddenly lost all of my happiness and energy and sat with a grim face on the couch. When my mother noticed this, she approached me and asked if I was okay, to which I replied it was nothing serious like a seizure or depression, but that I just felt tired. A while after...

I seem to do best when I'm taking care of an animal, and lately I've been really wanting a cat again. Mostly, I want a kitten -- I want to raise a cat from its youth, because I've not been able to do that in a while. I love cats and kittens, and I think I'm happier when I'm around them. Like...

Post secondary transition planning actually starts with the question: "What is the final goal?" I think for most parents the answer would be: Getting a job they enjoy and that pays a livable wage. But autistic teens and young adults don't necessarily adhere to the same schedule as their NT...

A while back at church I was asked to write a short article for the newsletter about the anti-racism discussion group I had participated in. The other members had all had their turn and now it was mine. So I wrote what was in my heart, even though I knew that some of the things I had to say...
