Re: Family and close friends

Okay, today I am feeling a bit stronger. How long that will last, I don’t know. But for now, if somebody disses me I will shake my head as though to express how sad I feel for all the ignorant ‘normal’ people out there. Ha! Well, ya never know, it might work.

The thing about jobs is you have to have thick skin. I really think I could have endured a lot at work if I had a place to go and recover at night, but I got I picked on at home — yep, even my husband. I told myself for years that they didn’t really mean it and I would feel like crap, but now I avoid my family when I don’t feel strong, I visit when I feel I can, I leave as soon as they say something hurtful, — and I do this in my own house with my husband. (I keep hoping he is trainable.)

Trashman, you have a heart of gold. If you’re thinking about helping others when things aren’t so great for you, well, you’re a good man. By the way, IQ tests are not entirely accurate. These days people with ADD or ADHD get to take such tests in a private room and they get extra time. So I imagine that you are quite a bit smarter than what the test indicated. You’re here and you’e educating yourself just like the rest of us. And even the doctors don’t have this all figured out.

Now — if only we could find jobs.
