Feeling bad :-(

Jon

Hi,

I have been on this forum now for over a year. I used to look forwards to being on here - it was a support and I enjoyed the communication.

I don't feel the same way about it now. I don't want to make it personal but I got pretty bothered by the attitude of another member. It wasn't pleasant.

I am struggling with my return to work after 5 months off with stress/depression. I am struggling at home with the neighbours (noise :(). Life is just seeming very difficult right now. I don't have a place to recharge and situations that I was begining to manage are now seeming much harder.

I admit I find confrontation and negotiation hard and thats why I used to like coming on here - because it felt safe and people maybe understood.

The world is at odds with Aspergers. Its all about me changing and adapting to match peoples expectations. That does become a real strain. It is expected that I have to learn to be NT or at least act it.

Please don't respond to this if you are just going to criticise me - I can't handle that just now. I do feel better for getting this posted though.

  • I too hope you can stay Jon as I would miss you. There are one or two people whose posts I avoid reading as I cannot cope with confontation either, and I am not going through the stress you are at the moment.  I do hopeyour return to work goes well and would like to know how it goes and for you to feel that you can discuss any problems you are finding here.

    I try to be tolerant of people "sounding-off" because I know some people are under tremendous pressure and want somewhere to let off steam, but critisisms directed at individuals are unacceptable and should be pulled by the moderators - that's the point of having modertors.
