Hi everyone,

I wanted to introduce myself and seek help.

I am pretty sure that I have very strong compensatory narcissistic traits.

As a child my sister was very abusive and it was like walking on eggshells when she was around. I would get anxious whenever she was around. I don't think she was ever physically abusive but definitely psychologically and emotionally. This, along with a submissive father and a mother who didn't discipline me ...

Hi,

I'm still struggling. The memories just won't come. I want to scream, shout, and I really want to slit my arm from wrist to elbow, to sleep and never wake up. But I can't. Too many people I care about worry about me, so I fight it and fight it and bury it and bury it.

I'm plagued by dreams. Some are day-to-day working dreams. Sometimes I'm lost in a town I know so ...

I'm really relating to this song at the moment...

I think one of the major differences between how others perceive me and how I perceive myself is that they see me as something to have feelings about. Do any of you think this applies to you too?

I've heard a lot about people hating themselves and loving themselves. This doesn't make any sense to me because I'm not used to the idea that I can be loved or hated, by myself or by anyone ...

I'm sorry this is long, I feel that I have to start this from the beginning to get it off my chest.

I want to preface, with saying that I have not told anyone in my proximity about this experience, and i'm really not sure what want on with this online "relationship". I am left with mixed feelings at the end of the day, and most of the confusion I seem to have gotten through, ...

In movies, like Snowcake, My Name is Khan, aspergers look like autists, whereas on youtube video for example they don't. Is it because of the inaccuracy of movies, or the fact that people are alone when they do youtube videos and would look like in movies with people?

Do you find the movies accurate? Thanks.

Well, I thought coloring would help...

And I guess it sort of did. But I lost time. It wasn't a lot of time, thank goodness, but I had been sort of hoping for better communication, not full on 'letting out'.

I can't sleep. This is the second day this month where I'm up early as poop. So, seeing as I was struck with the image of coloring again, I decided to color at one thirty ...

The Tossers - Whiskey Makes Me Crazy :

I put my shoes on backward on the way out to a dance
Then I had to go back home cause I forgot my pants
I bought my love a ring and I professed my love of course
We were not yet married and she wanted a divorce

Stout it makes you thick, and it makes you thin and lazy ...

I've been in hospital recently for pre-eclampsia, a pregnancy complication that can lead to some huge problems for baby and me.

I'm back at home now, and have to rest up a lot. I can't cook meals anymore, because even spending just 5 minutes standing makes my feet go numb. 10-15 minutes standing and I collapse. I can't do the clothes washing, partly because I don't have a machine (so I have to go to ...

Cymbalta, it's one of the few that I know I can tolerate.

I'm slightly buzzed, I'm not going to lie. So what if it's only 6:00 PM on a Monday. (name the reference)

Anyway, I had one of those week-long decision making processes, and came to the conclusion that I've got to do something -- in order to get where I want to be going I need a bit more life.

This time, though, I'm ...
