| Hi there My psychologist has suggested using cold-showers as a self harm alternative. It's just not doing it for me, not relieving the anger, frustration and self hatred that I feel. Have been advised against the self-choking with belt and repeated hitting of self in head that I customarily use when... |

| This is something I've been struggling with, but with some success over the past eighteen months. When I become stressed or overwhelmed I resorted to choking myself with a belt or anything else available, stopping just before passing out. I didn't think this was dangerous, but my doctor convinced me... |

| I was put in a mental health unit for a couple of weeks (self harm) where I was observed 24/7. It's in this environment I was diagnosed with high functioning autism. Already knew I had bipolar, but they confirmed this diagnosis. The more important question is this: Why do you want a diagnosis? It ha... |

Perhaps you're not as smart as you think you are. A prerequisite of learning is humility.
That said, I hope you find employment in a field you find satisfying. |

An interesting turn of events. The library manager who wrote the resume has given me some paid work: Eight hours a week for thirteen weeks processing a backlog of local history resources to be added to the library's collection.
Yay for me!  |

| It's not possible to know whether or not you are middle aged until you are dead. Perhaps you would agree that at that point it doesn't really matter. At present I'm 42. If I live to be 45, I'm well past being middle aged. If I live to be 130, I still have a fair way to go. The concept of middle age ... |

| When I was a teenager I occasionally went busking at the local mall. One afternoon a man came out of a nearby betting shop and offered to give me ten dollars if I moved somewhere else. I happily took him up on the offer. I'm on a disability pension. Maybe the Australian government is a bit like the ... |

I can't stand the term "gifted". I prefer to use the following alternatives:
Cursed
Snob-in-training
Mummy's special little snowflake
Bully magnet
Victim of great expectations
That's been my experience anyway. |
