Yes. Usually it's how it is for most people.
Still, not in my case.



Authority...
I do not understand them.

But yeah, as soon as I learn what authority is, they become an optional thing if I should get along with them than just blind bypass.

And I won't be like those who learned what authority is and is automatically get along with it.


To be able to 'climb' past status, one needs both the traits of the socially compliant fawner's social literacy and the socially defiant's lack of fear and urgency.

But there's a third or fourth trait not many will get; the aggression and opportunism of those who are greedy and arrogant, balanced and tempered by the resilience of someone who stays down and humbled -- into vision, discipline and confidence.


Hm.

I always had to assume there's a third or fourth trait whenever there's a declaration of a certain trait or two is a 'key to success'.

Yeah...
Simplifying just doesn't cut it for me. It leaves too many gaps. And I hate those gaps.

I wish I knew if antidepressants truly help me or whether I am stuck on them because I can't get off without facing severe withdrawal. Do they actually help? I wish my parents never put me on them but I know they didn't know what else to do. I wish this question would not plague me 24/7 like a splinter that can't come out. I wish God would give me peace regarding this question.

Well....was skeptical about using meds to change things and not expect side effects ? But personally ,..would periodically titrate myself down on any chronic meds , I was to take .according to my doctor ... after being on them to hopefully get a better difference.!
But as I was doing this , I was not fond that someone whom did not know me personally...had influence over my life.
But rather than rebel or just try and quit.. I would look for nutition deficiencies, that could create the same symptoms, as the pills/ meds , I was being given to take.....( with pretty good succuss, for myself . :nerdy: .
Then might try to lower my dosage very slowly, even if I had to break pills in half . :ninja:

Sorry man

I used to think I had no other choice in life other than to commit crime because that's all I knew but after two years of therapy I've found another way to feel alive

I don't have to walk that tightrope I've been walking for such a long time anymore

I must remember to congratulate my shrink when I see him next. He's an absolute f*****g genius

I think it's also important to mention that wp members have also played a part in all of this as well....thank you guys

I had questioned if psych meds would've solved those feelings that's been constantly in the background for almost as long as I could remember.

I don't know.
All I know back then is that I wanted something that can distance me from my feelings, and that some of my thoughts don't feel like mine or it didn't made sense.

Am I 'unlucky' enough that my household is too poor to afford meds and therapy?
Either me not ending up being dependent on it if it didn't worked or yet possibly not solving it sooner than it should if it did work?

Or am I 'lucky' that I found it's root cause just recently without a cost other than years of unwanted emotional pain, countless mistakes because of it, lots of missed life lessons, missing wisdom due to lack of inner space, out of hindered living due to coping alone with it?


Sure, I technically gained a skill and apparently an uncommon knowing because of it (lots of internal teasing things out, too much introspection, etc.).

But it's still a very risky, infuriatingly slow and painful path to healing -- because known accounts is that it's practically nigh impossible to heal alone.

Sure, I did the nigh impossible...
.. Though, not entirely my choice. :?



Sure, I happened to ended up healing myself before I took a step to ask for a possible professional psych help as a part of the plan to better myself overall, but...

I don't know.
Is it really just me or is it because whatever I'm dealing wasn't truly as bad since I did solved it myself?

I think you're really brave having to deal with it all yourself Edna and you're doing well in working it all out

It looks like I may have an opportunity to get screened for autism. I found a place, somewhere I was going to for other disability services - noticed an autism flyer and today asked if they screen adults or just children. I'm soon going to receive a form I can feel out to request the screening.

Since I'm already receiving services there, they won't give me the extremely long waiting time, which is really neat. This is a great opportunity.

I'm nervous. Alas, I will have a while yet to think about it due to me not having gotten insurance in my new state yet. I was waiting to get a job, but I'm thinking I'm going to apply for state insurance now because it's just been too long now since I came up here and I have missed many appointments that are necessary.
