Don't be letting other people steal your joy!....I am angry at myself, because for months now-I have been letting others at work, anger me terribly and depress me......now, I'm sick of feeling emotionally sick, so I refuse to let them drag me into their pit anymore....I have tried several avenues to circumvent and short-circuit the behavior, but it seems to be perpetually renewing.....my fault in this, was trying to get along-and I got treated this way anyway....no more, no more.....I am not the easiest person to be around, but don't deserve the treatment-whether real or perceived.....toxic, is the best way to describe the environment and the higher ups are allowing it....Scotty no play, no more.....
I'll say it.
Medication will do wonders. It does.
Go to doctor, Cori.
Wish you well.
Okay, so the iTunes thing rocked your world. Let. it. go. Again I will say, if this iTune situation is the WORST thing that is ever going to happen to you in your whole life, you are blessed. There are people in this world WISHING their biggest problem was iTunes not syncing with their computer and phone. But, they don't even have a computer or phone or iTunes. They have no food, no clean drinking water, no access to health care-- I could go on and on.
We all have things that will irritate the holy hell out of us, but, we move on. Move on. Find things that make you giddy happy and immerse yourself in those things. Instead of playing this iTunes mess over and over and over again and then we go from there to Obama and Bush and we're talking other celebrities and it's time to just look ahead like Sigs said.
I know you can do it Cori. I know you can find the things in life that you just love!
I'll say it.

Word.
Cori - Aspergers must be very hard to live with. It's hard to understand and if you were undiagnosed then I'm sure you were misunderstood by many - including your parents. Now that you know, you've got to figure out how to manage it and live in peace. You're going to need some help with that. You most certainly sound depressed in addition to your life challenges with Aspergers. A good doctor will help you figure all of that out. This living situation is not going to change if all you do is rant about it. I say this with the best intentions. I like to think that Ka brought you here so you could get some gentle guidance from kind people. Everyone struggles with something, Cori. You just learn to manage your hand and find some peace and joy.
On a side note, a friend of mine has an adult son with Aspergers and she just recommended a book to me, written by a man with Aspergers. I'm going to read it soon. She said it was very helpful to her. Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Aspergers by John Elder Robinson.

Cori! I had a new thought - well, new on this situation anyway. I'm Catholic and I am always taking classes, going to workshops, etc. to continue my spiritual formation. I learn a lot, so much more than just religious studies. One thing that really helps me is the practice of not comparing myself to others. You must stop doing that. There is no happiness in it - it's evil at work - it plants those seeds of doubt and self loathing and jealousy - all very destructive. You are you, your gifts are different. This is where that cognitive behavior therapy would help you. I find myself being outrageously and irrationally critical of myself when I start comparing. And when I recognize what I'm doing, I can talk myself down. The practice of detachment and then practicing the opposite of the negative emotion work for me - there's a slew of opposite reactions to negative emotions - google them. Love for others is key to this. Are you spiritual at all? If so, talk with your pastor - he or she can usually recommend a therapist within your faith community that can help - or your pastor may even be a psychologist - lots of ministers hold a degree in psychology.

Most of Stephen's books have a romance of one kind or another in them.
