| I've been studying the PTSD issue just recently. I guess it might not be so good for a lot of people here, but one great free therapy for PTSD is at calm.com. I've been using it a lot to help me calm down, it is (supposed to be) a calming video and ambient sounds that play immediately. Along with a ... |

| Ooh I just found a place that seems to be exactly what I need. It makes me want to live in Kentucky. http://cdpvtc.ky.gov/services/ Aha! Everything in one place! Now to find the same services in other locations.... By social services, I mostly mean mainstream local services where everyone dumps thei... |

| I'm the same. It gets so quiet and peaceful, and no (well, less) risk of skin cancer! I recently got some professional quality ear muffs for construction workers. Here are some things that help me (all have scientific evidence for efficacy): 1) Eat no more than 30 minutes after wake-up time. Have so... |

| It could be one of those in the list, but since my area's systems seem to be DIY only systems, and since I am not currently able to do complex planning on my own, it isn't likely that I would ever get a diagnosis, and if by some miracle I did get a diagnosis, there's nothing I could do to get treatm... |

Wow, I can certainly identify with most of your story. Maybe it's because we are similar ages?
Maybe this is meant for a PM, but I think my location might interest you.
If I wasn't still stuck in my room, I'd even offer that to you as well.
I'm curious as to what you mean by help services. |

| Wow, I told my therapist that I have to sleep more and do less, and he made it seem like I was trying to be lazy. I think now that he thought I was bragging! HOW, WHY WOULD I BRAG ABOUT THIS!?? He said something like "I have to go to meetings for the rest of the day, and you get to sleep." It is peo... |

| I've made a few video games, they're somewhere on the internet. My problem is that I have little-to-no interest in making graphics, but I need graphics in order to be inspired to continue development. I made a few board games when I was a little kid, out of the insides of cereal boxes. I also like t... |

| I thought of using something similar to that as a reason for a rich and successful woman to marry me. But of course, it's not appropriate for a man to be the shy and sensitive housewife. I will keep your house and possessions safe while you're at work, and I'll be waiting for you to come home, and I... |

| I specifically researched (as a young child) all (or many) of the instances in which people believed that empathy should be shown, and I just practice responding in the way that people want me to respond. I guess I find it simple because it is part of my "seeming normal" obsession, but I've always k... |

| I don't think it's hate, it's that's many of them want a partner to just magically appear without any effort on their part. This, a thousand times. Some people have serous, deep-seated issues. Not willing or can't learn about and acquire the traits that make it possible to be in a relationship with... |

| I obsess about "people" and "normal," and trust me, that's bad as it is. Bit of advice, don't do it. Also, I've read about a lot of situations people have had in this forum with obsessing about specific people in their lives, and it most often turned out really bad. And now for a joke: Just don't go... |
