^That's possible. They made it seem like they had everything planned out. Then they changed the plan. Oh well. It's just that I feel stuck, overwhelmed with needing to do this and that and this and that and on and on. I'll eventually get through it, but my feelings are holding me back right now. The letdown was the last thing I needed.

I think it sounds like you were let off not let down. I know it doesn't feel like it but It may of been a blessing in disguise , maybe the suggestion of someone he gave you is just what you need , chase it up a.s.a.p

I will. Thanks.

Good luck

Wow, thanks! That’s really nice, but you should see my math and art grades last year !

I’m sorry about the issue with your clients, DataB4! My mom has clients at her job as well, and it is really hard sometimes, especially when they say they don’t want the product anymore. I know this is probably really late, but that client was probably, like Ferris said, just a nightmare client. I am actually having a similar problem with someone not responding to my email I sent, and it is really hard not to go back and overanalyze everything I wrote! I hope you don’t have to deal with any more clients like that!

I'm sorry you lost the much-needed money, Date4......

How are you, Stampy?

I’m doing alright, except for the fact that my OCD has been really bad lately and I am almost convinced I have schizophrenia. I have been trying to distract myself though, so I am doing okay. How are you?

I am being forced to go on an SSRI, and I feel like I’ve given up or something. I just never feel good anymore, and I have some symptoms of schizophrenia that might just be caused by hypochondria, but they still really worry me. I just hope I am not on the verge of going insane!

You're so smart, Stampy---and a high achiever......you've won money for your writing---which has never happened to me.

Thank you! I don’t even know how I won, but I did . It was the most amazing feeling, and it helped me feel better and have hope for everything I’m going through.

Thanks everyone. I knew people on here would get how I was feeling.

Stampy, how awesome that you've already won a writing contest with prize money! I haven't done that yet, maybe in the future.

I realize it can't feel good to feel forced into taking medication out of desperation. I hope it will turn out to be a positive experience in the end. Perhaps you'll be one of the many who find relief.

Thank you so much ! I honestly don’t even believe it, but I guess I won and now my teacher wants me to enter more contests (which I am hesitant about).

Thank you. I hope it goes well too. The thought of being on a medication scares me, but I guess I don’t really have much of a choice anymore.

I hope you are doing well!

I’m really very sorry, Britte! I meant to reply to this days ago, but then I got sidetracked and I forgot to go back to this! I hope you are doing well !

I have missed talking to you so much! I really don’t like school very much at the moment, as the work load is quite a lot! Hopefully I will be able to post more now that I have the essay contest and nursing home trip out of the way!

I hope I can talk to you soon! I really miss our conversations!

Hi

I have OCD too. Since I can remember actually. I never knew that It would be somehow asperger (I just recently got diagnosed with asperger/autism). But I think that it’s the asperger AND the OCD. It’s not only Asperger. Because I experience a lot of anxiety if I don’t do what my mind says (compulsions)

I suffer a lot from it, especially if I have anxiety and then I end up in a loop in my mind..

I am really tired of it. I cried my eyes out just now. I am afraid of the world and everything in it.

Hi Missworry, welcome. You're not alone.

Like DataB4 said, you are definitely not alone in this. I have Asperger’s and OCD too, and while the Asperger’s is hard to deal with, OCD is even harder. I have been through many, many obsessions and even though I pretty much lost hope when I was going through each of them, they never stayed forever. Just know that you don’t have to lose hope, and we are all fighting this together! Welcome!
