    So July 5th I wake up with a kidney stone.  The pain is crazy and gets worse.  I take myself to the Emergency Room at like, 2 in the morning.  They give me some pain meds, and I stay there until the kidney stone passes through the ureter (the most painful part.) I don’t go into work that day.  My job doesn’t have sick days, just a certain number of attendance points you can use for whatever reason.  They don’t accept doctor’s notes, so I’m getting a point, unless, I’m admitted, overnight.  The kidney stone hasn’t passed, it’s somewhere in there, down in my junk.  I deal with some pain, discomfort and some back pain.  I have to walk all the time, and constantly drink water to try and get it to pass.  I’m a little concerned, because the ‘vacation of a lifetime’ is coming up.  I go to San Diego Comic Con with a group of 5 or so friends.  Its an amazing trip.  We swim in the ocean, enjoy the con, and the amazing San Diego weather.  Because 2 other people from my job are going on vacation at the same time, my request to have this be an approved absence is denied.  That’s another 2 attendance points.  A couple weeks after I get back from the con, I get invited to a book club by someone I knew in college, let’s call her Kim.  I’ve always toyed with the idea that she could be someone I could date.  Through the book club we rekindle a friendship.  At the time, I’m dating a different girl, let’s call her Erica.  Erica is the first real relationship I’ve ever had.  I’ve had a few dates, but I don’t think I’ve ever gotten to the 3rd date with anyone else.  I am 29 years old.

    thanks for the replies, everybody!

    okay… here’s a little bit more of the story…

    I have dealt with ADD for all my life.  I have the inattentive kind.  I don’t have get the hyperactive symptoms, but I have trouble with focusing, remembering things and organizing my memories, and keeping track of tasks.  I’m always getting sidetracked, and it takes me forever to do things.  My room is a mess and my mind is a mess too… but… on the plus side, I think my disorganized mind is a factor in my having a strong imagination and creativity.  I also think that not being neurotypical (fun word that I just learned on these forums) has given me a unique perspective and sensitivity to people who are different.  (as an aside, I’m not sure how long I can type right now, because the discomfort in my wrists/forearms is coming back.)

    So as of July 2012, I was working at a call center; a job I hated.  I’m an introvert, and working somewhere that involves talking all day, working fast, constantly multitasking, and being micromanaged was hell.  My hobby/avocation is art and design, and I spent all my July 4th holiday working on a drawing on my computer glued to the chair.  I woke up with a kidney stone. To be continued…

    as far as waiting, I have a few things I have to cooperate with, and I get to see the Psychiatrist in May.
