cc, that is really cute.

A crisis center gave me a double hand full of samples. I got a prescription from an emergency room doctor, cause they really seemed to help. I was then three months on it and I had no personal doctor, and I am on synthetic thyroid so I just asked various urgent care doctors for the prescriptions and finally one day, I could not stand the deadening of feelings and I just wanted to end my needless life. I ran out of meds and just didn't go scaring up a prescription for it again (I was living in a tent up the mountain on Bureau of Land Management forest lands anyway with no way down but hitchhiking) so I stopped it.
I don't recommend just stopping it like that

Merle

I don't, either. It could be hazardous.

I don't think I've felt my feelings deadened. Just my anxiety.

I don't think I've posted anything like this in the cafe

This is for anybody that feels like they want a hug http://www.lifepositive.com/Mind/personal-growth/grfx/hug.jpg.

you are a 26 year old male
I am a 57 year old female past menopause

we just might have different body chemistry, dear.

Merle

And slightly different brain chemestry.

But from the way you carry yourself here, I would have thought you were much younger.

And your new avatar is cute. Where did you get it from?

It's my old avatar from when I first started here, morning_after. I got it from my mom's baby book she made for me and scanned it. It isn't me, it was some ideal my mother had for me.

Some of the symptoms of our Asperger's Syndrome is just not "growing up. I didn't on a lot of levels. Other people (like yourself) pick up on it and I have rarely been taken seriously by even people my own age. After a while, I didn't take myself seriously either.

Merle

Well, you're still very nice.

thank you, morning_after, you are very nice, too.

Merle

Ok, a better hug post than the other one.

GAH!! It's sticky and won't go away. Make it go away, please. You guys is all older than dirt, I need advice on how to get unstucked. And don't think I've let you off the dirt list if you're under 40, I'm equal opportunity. Do you suppose plastering it everywhere I visit might not be a good idea? Naw, I'm thinking I can wear this song down in about 2 or 3 weeks.

If you have ever found yourself stuck to fly paper, duck tape, super glue, have ever eaten white paste, passed a chain letter, chain smoked, repeatedly look at a clock, drank more then one glass of water in a row, taken more then one aspirin, or ever been near a magnet, do not play this song. You are in the high risk group for Stickystuff (TM). If you have done all of these at once, I want to meet you in person.

If you have found yourself stuck, because you did not heed my dire warning or I left a spectrum analysis something or other out, (which I highly doubt but am open to further warnings, because I'm easy) watch this video repeatedly with the music off. I also suggest starting the video and turning your monitor off. It is truly bad.

Hi im new to this site, and looked through most of it and thought it was for kids. Im 28 ~(so a little under the 40 bar but whos counting) and live in somerset i england. I saw loads of people came from all over, so i thouhght i would add that. I write for fun, have been for over 14 years, and my favorate thing is tea and fags followed by not much. Have been diagnosed for about 7 years, and have other chronic illness, so dont really do muych at present, but have never met anyone else with AS, have seen people who i think have it worse than me, but thats it. Ive always felt like a freak, like an old person inside a youngsters frame. I guess thats why ive put my mark here to say hi. Anyhow. Im not one for jokes but can chat about most things (other than home and away, which is shite, although anyone who wants to muse on the new Dr Who series would be good, it looks cool.!) anyhow.
Hi.
Bye.

Quatermass is an avid Dr Who fan. I arranged to meet him last year and part of the way I could recognise him was to look out for a DR Who book that he would be carrying . He is close to your age.

Oh boy, you are going to fit in here real good. And Lau is from Somerset. Yes, by all means, join our freak show. As for feeling like an old person inside a young person's frame, that will probably slowly, incrementally reverse and you will be young inside the old. As in the line from Dylan (Bob): "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."

My Back Pages
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Thanks, CC I love Dylan. Everytime I hear "Tangled up in Blues" I'm back driving thru Colorado past Pikes Peak, listening to it and just driving and crying.
Pinhead Hi, have you watched any "Torchwood" is it worth investing in the DVD Season 1?

You're welcome. There seems to be a Dylan song for every time and every season and every purpose under heaven.
