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.
