| I developed dermatillomania when I was twelve and it's still a problem. I have good days and bad days. When people tell me to stop picking it annoys me and I tell them it's okay because it doesn't hurt me (and most times it really doesn't). But when I see anyone else pick, read about others picking ... |

| I'm frequently miserable and unhappy but I don't enjoy being that way - I just find a lot of things stressful. It has been said to me that it seems like I look for things to be miserable about. |

| Not sure if this is what you mean, but if something is bothering me, I can’t get it out of my mind. The most recent example was when I had a dispute with some woman about something, two months ago. For most of that time, not a day would pass without me going through it all in my head, writing about ... |

| When I got my ASD assessment report back from the psychologist, there was a comment that I have a monotone voice. My husband commented on this years back, but I never really noticed. Now I do notice it and it seems to be only when I'm reading aloud, giving information or answering questions to peopl... |

| I don't do foundation often even though I could do with it. I don't like the feel and I feel self-conscious about how it looks after a few hours because I know it can start looking gross, especially when you have oily skin like me. I just wear a bit of concealer and then some powder. I usually wear ... |

| I got revenge on my ex-wife by waiting for my kids to become adults. Then I showed them the divorce decree that she filed for (she'd told them that I had filed), the receipts and final statement from Friend Of The Court (she'd told the kids that I had never paid anything), and some candid videos I ... |

| Deary me, some of the stuff I've just read... There's nothing wrong with being a virgin at 27. I know a man who was until he was 35. Do I think it's odd? No, I think it's nice and refreshing that someone waited for the right person. People like that don't seem to come around very often so I think i... |

| some of these churches nowadays are like social clubs and there are a lot of 'Christians' that don't even read their bibles, pray or even know who God and Jesus really are. Yes. Although I've never personally noticed a service that doesn't get the congregation to "pray" or sing some confi... |

| During the long wait for my assessment, my executive functioning seems to have got far worse. Apart from eating, sleeping, and walking my dog, I've put most of the stuff I've been doing on hold. I'm just trying to concentrate on a special interest, and clear my overgrown land (when it's not raining... |

| She guesses wrong and fights with me over what she imagined that I was thinking. I tell her she was wrong and she thinks I am lying. I'm not.
