| I remember feeling that way. Good times. Some of the stress may be what others expect of you. Don't let them put extra strain on you. Besides that, find what can help you. For me, music and anime helps. For you, it's most likely other things. You may be a long sleeper, where your body literally need... |

| Let's see...In my computer room alone I count thirty-seven things at the moment that can be counted as toys, things like funko-pop figurines, anime stuff, and some clown statues. I also have forty-three posters and similar on the walls of anime, gaming, and other type of posters. I recently moved ou... |

| I thought up a simple way to explain autism, posted on it online and expanded on the thought a bit. I would like anyone's input on this who cares to share their thoughts on it. Autism is the brain not clicking the same. I think that this is the easiest way to explain it. There's a rhythm to the brai... |

| That's awesome :). One thing I recommend for your writing is to see where you struggle and go through a second time with each part to add/change what's needed. For me, I'm not the best at adding details on the fly, so I know to go through a second time and think "he's in a pub. I should add so... |

| I expect weird. I am weird :). But this other guy wanted my phone number and address and other things similar right away. Not what I'm looking for. I agree, that's W E I R D --and not a fun or entertaining kind, more like the one where you check your wallet and make sure the front door is locked! 8... |

| I'm a huge anime fan. There are many anime series that are anywhere between thirty seconds to three minutes an episode. I simply find series to fit into "mouthwash" and "teeth" categories and do what's needed while watching anime, using a closed container to spit everything into ... |

| A farmer/handyman I know was having to go to a Chiropractor frequently for his back. Then he started lifting weights in addition to his regular work-related exercise, and his muscles strengthened enough to hold his back in place. Back trouble can result from even something like a tight shoe. You'll... |

| The advice I need is simple. What I can I do to be okay for the near future? My back is falling apart, but I have to do some of the hardest work to keep hours. I need to socialize with people that drain me. I need to always be at my best when there are days, like today, where I am just drained. It ... |

She’s lived there before and loves it. Hope it helps you and that you can find a good work/play/rest balance. Hobbies re... |

| I was working long hours in my own business, doing beyond anything I could have imagined earlier. But, my health started to suffer. I was workaholic. At 26, I wound up with pneumonia then pleurisy. Took many months to recover. Once I cut back to working 4 days a week, just a simple tweaking like th... |

| Edited for clarity: I used to feel things more when I was younger. It never worked well. I do have some friends, but there's always a disconnect. When I figure out who I am a little more I will venture outside of the people I know and see if there's a place I belong, but where I am now is not that p... |
