Living at home with my family now that events are being cancelled because people are traveling and it's not even June yet is now at the point of going to drive me to a mental institution.

I'm not going anywhere this summer either. We can't afford to. I have one week off work in June, and we're just staying home and my aunt is coming to stay for a couple of days, which I'm looking forward to. But that's it.

Jump, sorry its been a long time since I was online. I'm probaby annoying, or too casual(?) but I still wonder how you're doing?
(I dont know why I grew a liking to you. Maybe cuz you seem so kind.
I apologize if this seems too weird to you. Tell me if I never shall speak to you again.)

(Im sorry. Life happened and I havent finished reading your book yet. Its still on my to do list.)

Anyone else's skin feels prickly and uncomfortable each time they're sick, and especially when they're running a temperature? Usually, I have no problems with skin sensitivity, but right now, it feels like everything prickles and touch is uncomfortable. It's always been this way. Interesting phenomenon.

why is my skin so sensitive when I have a fever? | Naked Science Forum

I've come down with a fever (probably influenza, not covid... but tests are pending). One thing I have noticed over the years, is that when I have a fever, ...

When I even just have a cold I can feel very achy, lethargic and uncomfortable all over, to the point where I don't want to leave my home as it can soar my anxiety. This is why I often take sick days off when I have a cold, which I then get criticised about because it's an unwritten rule in most work places where a cold shouldn't stop you

from coming to work, as everyone else at work comes in with colds and they still seem functional, just have a stuffy nose. With me a cold seems to be more than just a stuffy nose, it seems to give me similar symptoms to the flu.

My brain felt like it was being jackhammered, but a cup of coffee cured that.

Yep...what I call "Go-Juice" to get back on the right track. And it works!

You can't go wrong with coffee. Usually a good brain stimulate (but of course in moderation).

I potentially have a lot of medical stuff coming up. And I don't know much about it, or what they'll have to do. Will you please pray for me, and especially my daughter, as she has been caring for me more than usual, on top of her job and school. She is tired, worried, and too young for all this. I want her to have time to be a kid.

Feeling low. Sigh. "This too will pass". Nothing lasts, in this life, except Being and even that we get a break from when we sleep. Yay sleep, the ides of that is cheering me up already.

I went thru a month of just sleeping as much as l could due to things outside of my control. I just thought screw it, sleep is my only release. Then some of the issues passed.

I'm feeling better. Even last night I cheered up. Today I feel good. Life is alive with promise. We just have to intend to clear our own blocks (ie trauma stuff) to experience more of all the goodness we are capable of. Humans are amazing, in all the ways. I am up for this.

While literally everyone I know is traveling this summer too parts unknown. I am stuck in Brooklyn hanging out at a coffee shop and doing yoga all summer.

Maybe i don't deserve a higher paying job. My social life does not match up to my career anyway. I am an abomination

Well you got a job so that's better than majority of autistics I think 🤔 I was told last night by my bros friend: don't I get lonely, why don't I go on a dating app, aren't I depressed and that I have a sad life and that I should get a dog. My brother was always the gifted one which was pushed to do well 🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 aw thanks 👍

A dog would be better company than him tbf

Wow what a mean thing to say. Aren't these people supposed to be empathetic and such? I remember being told "dont you have any friends? None at all?" by a classmate before. At the time i was surprised she could ask something that obviously hurt me. It did not even occur to me that she does not care at all.

Ah yeh kids say dumb hurtful things including me. I was once asked "I wish I was like you, having no interest in girls" lol

Tbf he tends to get beaten up a lot because of his mouth, especially bouncers and psycho boyfriends of girls he hits on. I find him half a pain and half a hilarious drunk trainwreck. I've know him for a long time so I expect the lack of filter at this point 🤣😂

Just got home from the show. This was the main attraction, a local band named Floater. They put on an amazing show. I did see a couple of drunks get violently escorted out by security, but outside of that it was a chill crowd.

Yesterday I went to a garage sale in Selma, Ore., due to old electronics being mentioned in the ad. Ad had wrong address and I wound up in a ditch on a rural road trying to find it. The guy living at that wrong address dragged me out with his 1967 Chevy pickup.

That was some good luck. I would have been a mess after that.

If he hadn't had oxygen tanks delivered just as I was figuring out how to get out of the ditch, I and my mom (shared card) would have been out 4 big benjamins. (Non-US folx: the $100 bill has Benjamin Franklin on it.) He didn't seem to use oxygen so I presume it was his SO.

By then all of the people who had showed up at 9am had driven off. I follow the guy's directions and the sellers are just hanging a SALE sign on their open gate. This was around 9:45. *sigh*

I painted targets all over myself and then I acted like a victim when cruel people shot at those targets. I am the only one to blame here.

You didn’t paint the targets when you were a child.

I think there’s great value in taking accountability for your adult self and how you are going to move forward. But blame is not often a helpful thing.

I need to respect my own boundaries and not let others feed me guilt to put those personal boundaries down for their convenience and pleasure.
