| Interesting point about external motivation. I find it helpful, too, up to a point. Having it portable is worth a try. I'm checking into goosync - waiting to see if my device is supported. Thanks for the info. Now and then I'm good for 1 or 2 days of on-task work with external motivation - lists, al... |

At 23 you are too young for this. Get yourself to a good doctor who knows how to help with this. Conventional psychiatrist or holistic for natural supplements to address your depression.
it can change. It's biological and someone really good may be able to help you straighten this out. |

| great that you feel good about it now. Get your issues resolved while you're young. I'm close to 60, never had the benefits that have been available the past 10-15 years, and am just discovering I'm unemployable with so much debt I don't know how I'll get out of it, let alone keep my house, my pets,... |

| I do. I wish I was born NT so I could have had fun with groups of people, not be shut out all the time. Maybe it would have been the diff that meant I got married and had kids, grandkids. I'm real tired of not having someone to share day-to-day life responsibilities with. I'm almost 60, in debt b/c ... |

| I'm straight, but have gay friends. Maybe someone gay can chime in on this. Your question - aside from sex what makes the attraction - seems a good one.

| That seems a strange comment. Art is most importantly for the artist creating it. Keep at it and make lots of it. Artwork always evolves and that's a lot of the fun for me - to see what the changes are and how it matures. |

It is important for you to find someone to tell who can help you as soon as possible. Maybe a friend or relative you can trust, a teacher... |
