I've just understood the root of my problem with my jobs: abstract thinking. Not even having bad writing skills. Law requires abstract thinking so much and learning a concept that i can't apply to real life is so hard for me.

If you want to improve your abstract thinking, there are books of exercises you can try. Developing your math skills can also help as math is an abstract way of thinking. Trying to find patterns in statistical data can also increase your ability in this area.

Learning about subjects that it is not possible to understand in a concrete way is another way to develop your abstract thinking. Subjects such as quantum mechanics and astrophysics require us to think in an abstract way.

Working on building your ability to use metaphor and analogy can also develop this way of thinking. Reading and writing poetry can be a good place to start. Visiting a gallery that features modern art can help you to develop a more symbolic way of thinking too.

Don't get along with lil dipshits

When I try to ignore my emotions, in feel inferior

But my emotions seem so fickle or whatever

But their emotions are also fickle

Look up bulimia side effects

Feet stiff and sore from weight gain

The solar system is a torture chamber, not a playground

Waiting for the next shoe to drop

Live it up

Party

Expand comfort zone

Love

Hug

Learn new s**t

Electroconvulsive therapy

Email apologize

Court mandated financial reparations

The counselor could refuse to answer the email

Plenty of clients have fewer demands than me . And Judy Jones counselor gets the same 75 bucks

Then I have to call Access again s**t

Phone interview tomorrow. Accounting assistant. But too far away.

In person interview Thursday. Kind of far but whatever

Not many jobs close to my house s**t

:jester:

Yeast infection

Vagina itchy

Shower

Stretch marks

Scabies

Psoriasis

Contagious

My only friend gets sick. A lot

Aikido, bacteria

Merely washing hands not enough

Has mat suit

That b***h is a lil drama queen

Ten years ago, believed Warren pottebaum had the answers to "life", but he is just as clueless as everyone else s**t

Warren pottebaum can think inside the box and outside of the box

Warren pottebaum , balance logic and emotion

Alert, animated

Warren acts like he fancies himself a court jester

Pseudobulbar affect

Laughing too much and too loud

Like he has to constantly show he is happy

And make someone laugh

But happiness is not superior to sadness

Happy is overrated

Happy is not magic or special

Sad is not a catastrophe

Anger is not a felony

Fe fi fo fum

Giant

Jack in the beanstalk

Used to wish Warren pottebaum was my mom

:roll:

Whatever

Lazy

Motivation

Genius

Genuine

Been gaining weight

Apathetic

Give up on "life"

A long time ago s**t

Drama

Hives

Live it up

I haven't gone to bed yet. I'm still wired from my day, even with lots of medication to calm me.

Maybe I'll think about trains?

I am going to bed now. One of my pillows has trains on it. My youngsst brothers wife drew them and managed to get them to be permanently drawn on the pillowcase.

I was also quite wound up today so I spend ages and ages and ages afterwards to unwind.
Best I go to bed now though.

I hope you get a good rest and that you'll feel better tomorrow. I'm basking in a dark room with dim, coloured lights and stimming until I pass out.

Aww. Try not to get sunburn. (Joking of course!). Ok. My humour is not helping. Uhmmm. I pray for peace to come over you so you can rest and have a lovely refreshing sleep in perfect safety. You are safe now.

Finally Hot Wheels is doing an S13 Silvia to go with the S13 180SX. Since I can't afford a real one this one will have to do.

Before: An emotionally intense, intolerantly introceptive non-alexithymic...
Now: .. An alexithymic empath.

Yes, to personally discover that there is such thing.
:lol: One of the weirdest part of these sudden 'changes'...
