    I'm kind of freaking out, can I have somebody to talk to please.

    Hello @Sandpitturtle
    I am sorry that you feeling upset. What is the cause of your feeling distressed?

    I have severe depression and anxiety, I'm currently freaking out about my EA account as I've been trying to get help all day and I don't have much time left and don't know what to do. I really don't feel good right now.

    Hello
    I send big hugs to you <3 Depression and anxiety is so very tiring, and effects both your mind and body. I am so sorry that you are enudung through depression. Try taking an hour by hour, a day by day. There will be better days and times just as there will be harder days and times.

    Sending another hug to you <3

    that's the thing, there was no option to chat or email all day. I'm worried that my account is compromised / hacked. I couldn't get the stuff I wanted last night from the store daily deal because I didn't want to make any purchases after thinking my account is hacked.

    @rosemow The thing is I been going to "Specialist" doctors (endocrinologists) in this city (*cough* has a big tower and has a weird lighted sign for the Pan Am a couple of years ago *cough*) for 27 years ( for the first 17 at a hospital for sick children and then had this doctor from 2008-Present. Since I have issues that my thyroid doesn't produce hormones its needs for me to function. So that's why I have a doctor's appointment on the May 10th.

    It just I just hope this year he doesn't 1)talk about my sleeping habits or 2) forced me to talk about it. It's none of his business-and also HE shouldn't be talking since he goes to bed as late as I do!!


    I just really, really, really, really, really, really, really wish MOM could do it instead for a change.. heck I wouldn't even mind my SISTER (if she was available which she isn't since unlike me she has an actual paying job) taking me just so I don't have to deal with Dad. Of course if Mom was taking me it means we would have to be up around 6am to I would assume use the train (instead of the bus since we don't have the 1 and 1/2hrs+ to travel by bus to ((university)) and then switch to the local transit to get to the LRT to get to the subway to get to ((station) ) to get to the hospital where my doctor sometimes works. Then we would need to do the blood work and then wait around for awhile (don't know if Mom would let us have lunch or not since normally Mom and I don't do lunch if we had a big breakfast and have snacks in my bag the only time we ever did lunch ((Post-stopping have lunches in city)) was when I was switching over to this doctor from my old hospital and that was quite an adventure) hopefully on May the 5th (PA day ) Mom and I get to do something in Toronto just to make me happy for the next week. Mom hasn't taken me since at least 2013/4.

    Hello @MadameLee
    Perhaps you could talk it over with your mother, and see if she can attend the appointment with you. You have posted about a way to attend the appointment with her, so perhaps you could share this with her also. It will make you more at ease going with her, so although there is extra work to attend the appointment, it will help to ease how you are feeling about the situation. If you do need to go with your Dad, you could talk over with him beforehand the concerns that you have.Doing that may help the situation, and prevent your embarrassment or you feeling uncomfortable .





    @rosemow We kind of need Mom to be available to work since out of the 3 of us in the house-she's the only who can/does work. Dad's retired and like I said last week I can't work (paid jobs) due to not wanting to risk my benefits ( on another note: what kind of an employer would want someone who could only work 4/wk? You would need to hire 10 more people to fill a full or part-time shift)and because of her work being unpredictable (supply teaching is basically an on-call for teachers who don't work full time) ie for example she's booked basically all week this week for (school) but she might be called in the next couple of days to be booked for May 10th for example. I know how these things go..in the past I even was allowed to answer the phone to book her for X day. I really, really want to be able to go to (amusement park on an island in this city this summer since we didn't get to go last summer-we did nothing but go to Stratford, Ontario about 2 times last summer but no City-trips).



    Last year I did "talk" to dad about he's was not going to bring up my sleeping habit that year and know what he did? He pressures me into doing it myself! So see why I would rather have Mom go or somehow have the ability to go by myself? (Until police there are better trained..it's really not safe for me to be in Toronto on my own in case of a meltdown unless I'm with someone or with a group like day-program going to the Aquarium or to the Museum, )

    Hello
    This time when your Dad accompanies you, it may go better. It is hard, but try just to let what ever occurs happen, and not let it upset you. Your Dad has good intentions. He is only saying it for your own benefit and to help with your health issues. He loves you and cares about you.

    compared to the last two times..I highly doubt it will go any better this time either. Since if Dad says or makes me say anything that I don't want to talk about this year. Next year I'm 100% going by myself and I don't care what the parents think well I can fight all next week about it with Dad. I mean I will have to learn to go to doctor's appointments by myself eventually and be able to navigate city on my own (since in the way-off future after my parents are gone-I highly don't want my sister to take care of me and I highly doubt she will want to take care of me and I don't want to have to be a burden to my cousins or their families-I mean the closet cousin to me currently is my complicated cousin my adopted step- cousin who is 6 year's older then my sister).

    Too bad Ontario/Toronto doesn't have some kind of program where there could be a buddy system for people who never been in Toronto on their own and need some help. I can navigate Toronto pretty well but I never actually had to do it on my own.

    I've needed braces for a really long time, and I'm finally preparing for them. I just got my spacers today. I was expecting the worse when they put them on, I had no idea what they looked like or what they did. When they did put them on, I was so relieved that they weren't painful. Or so I thought. As I type this, it feels like the spacers are digging under my teeth. I'm not sure i'll even be able to talk without them hurting, I went to the bathroom to check on them, opened my mouth really wide, and when I closed it, they hurt horribly! I didn't expect this at all. Now I know why one of my friends said spacers are the worst part. Oww

    Welcome new folks. Thanks to @Rosemow for your patient compassion.

    @Sandpitturtle did you get answers? *hugs* Hang in there. Depression is rough but what @Rosemow said is true. It will get better. I know that's not much comfort, but I'm hope knowing people care is. For me, depression was like being on a really long and plum road trip. To get through, distraction helped, but just rolling down the window and getting into nature helped even more. The 2nd one is harder to do though.

    I'm afraid not. Will have to see what can be done tomorrow I guess. I've kind of calmed down now thankfully. Going to try and get some sleep.

    Thank you for trying to help @Jazztizz @rosemow

    Sorry if it seemed like I had tunnel vision to the current posters. I'm not really great at interaction but I hope you all get things sorted or you have a nice day.

    Hello @Madison1733. I send hugs to you <3 as you adjust to having the spacers. I am so sorry that they are hurting you :( That is not nice for you. As your mouth adjusts to having them, the discomfort will start to ease. Each day will be a little bit easier with how your mouth feels. Sending another hug to you <3

    @{{{ @Sandpitturtle }}} thanks. I hope you to too. Re tunnel vision - seemed to more more like you were hurting and asked for help. That is rare actually. Most people don't ask but that's when we need each other most.

    @MadameLee we spoke a few days ago and I didn't get to catch up since but looks like you are being held and heard by @Rosemow

    *hugs to everyone hurting* here on the forums.

    I have to do a 24hr pee collection tomorrow and since Mom's working all day tomorrow it means Dad will have to deal with the majority of it. I picked up the Kit ( made a detour on the way to work) and when I got home after having lunch out (ie ordering it). Dad and I had two arguments 1)Dad thinks that for the first pee (technically 2nd pee of the day, since the first pee is actually left overs from the previous day) the container needs to be upstairs. 2)When I went downstairs to get myself a big drink today Dad thinks that for lunch tomorrow we should have some of his 'healthy' crap I think that would be counter productive to the whole thing. that I should have a normal lunch instead

    Sorry I'm been complaing so much recently!!

    Hello
    I hope that the test goes as smoothly as possible tomorrow. The results will be helpful to your doctor when assessing your physical health state. It would be best to just go through the day just as you would normally spend the day.
    You don't need to be sorry about complaining. You are not complaining, you are just expressing your frustrations and annoyances and explaining about what is upsetting you.

    It's not a test it's just from the 2nd pee tomorrow -1st pee of Friday has to be collected (hence 24hr collection). It just knowing dad he will insist on me eating his food (and since I have to have his food tonight for supper-I don't want his food for lunch tomorrow as well). It just tomorrow is only good time since Friday or Saturday "women's problem" will be happening. I mean since I been doing this 24hr collection every year I think I know better about what's best for me (and also what happens to the kit/container the pee will be dumped into)

    @Sandpitturtle great news. I really like your imagination signature. Carl Sagan is one of my heroes.
    I've needed braces for a really long time, and I'm finally preparing for them. I just got my spacers today. I was expecting the worse when they put them on, I had no idea what they looked like or what they did. When they did put them on, I was so relieved that they weren't painful. Or so I thought.

    @Madison1733 saw your post had to answer because my kids went through braces too. I didn't know it was so painful either. You've probably tried this so this might help:

    I have someone else now to complain about with Dad. I am self/parents diagonized as an Aspie. So I have specific ways of doing stuff and if it gets interrupted (don't have a better word) in a way it drives me nuts!

    Dad did it AGAIN drove me crazy by messing up a routine I have with one of my chores (pouring drinks for supper) sometimes when he makes supper he puts ALL the drink stuff (ie milk and water jugs+ for me the Chocolate scause container and for himself the lemon juice container) on the table which means my routine of pouring drinks is disturb. This is how I do it: Step 1) I get both the milk and water jugs out. 2)I go into the dinning room 3)I pour my milk and then I pour my water, 4)I then go to Dad's side and pour his water 5)Pour Mom's water 6)Put water jug on the floor 7)Take milk jug back to the fridge 8)take lemon juice container out of fridge 9)get chocolate scause container out of cupboard 10)get dad's straw 11)go back into the dinning room 12)deposit Dad's lemon juice on his side 13)add chocolate scause to my milk 14)take it back to the kitchen (and depending on if anyone's there put it away or not).

    I have told him over and over again NOT to do that..but he doesn't listen but then goes and does it again. I do know he's trying to help but it's more of a nuance then anything for me. Because of me not having to carry one thing back at a time to the kitchen, I have to carry TWO things back

    Dad did it AGAIN drove me crazy by messing up a routine I have with one of my chores (pouring drinks for supper) sometimes when he makes supper he puts ALL the drink stuff (ie milk and water jugs+ for me the Chocolate scause container and for himself the lemon juice container) on the table which means my routine of pouring drinks is disturb. This is how I do it: Step 1) I get both the milk and water jugs out. 2)I go into the dinning room 3)I pour my milk and then I pour my water, 4)I then go to Dad's side and pour his water 5)Pour Mom's water 6)Put water jug on the floor 7)Take milk jug back to the fridge 8)take lemon juice container out of fridge 9)get chocolate scause container out of cupboard 10)get dad's straw 11)go back into the dinning room 12)deposit Dad's lemon juice on his side 13)add chocolate scause to my milk 14)take it back to the kitchen (and depending on if anyone's there put it away or not).

    I have told him over and over again NOT to do that..but he doesn't listen but then goes and does it again. I do know he's trying to help but it's more of a nuance then anything for me. Because of me not having to carry one thing back at a time to the kitchen, I have to carry TWO things back


    Hello @MadameLee
    It would be beneficial to talk over your health issues with your doctor. Your parents and yourself have diagnosed you as having Aspergers and it would help you to have it confirmed by medical practitioners also. They can then assist you with help for the effects of having Aspergers on your daily life. They can help you to develop strategies to cope with /live with how you are feeling . They may also assist be able to help you, in how to manage when your routines are thrown out of place due to the acts of others.
    It would be good to talk these things over with your doctor.

    Just sending a hug to you @Misa_wants_Pepsi <3 as you prepare to see your doctor to get the results of your tests. I have been thinking of you as you await the results.

    @rosemow my Specalist doctor only specialises in what I mention the other day Endocrinology. I did try to get testing for it once via my (Mom and my) then-family doctor's referral (like I said Mom&I have been without a family doctor for three years now) but the person who did the adult testing didn't think I was an Aspie because I actually looked people in the eye and am able to have empathy) not to mention that the testing he did was more for people with old person's issues. But my then-case worker (I don't have one anymore since my parents didn't bother setting me up another appointment 6 months after the last one I had back in 2013) has a son who was Aspie's but also showed empathy.

    We only realized around the fall of when I was 18 (2008) because of our daily paper Toronto Star did a series about Austim back then and we notice simliarities between what they said in the paper and how I act/acted. For instance I sometimes still have issues with tags in shirts if they're uncomfortable. I didn't like Rice Krispie squares because I didn't like the "ickyness" of it. I also didn't like Kimchi or olives back then (but my tasted change since I was 18) I don't like it when my routine gets interrupted (like with drinks or going to a social group). I also have this ability to be a rememberball (HP reference) and obbess over stuff (Disney, Sims, history-ie June 20th is the day in 1780s that the Tennis Court was sworn in France. In the 1837 on the same day- Queen Victoria was woken up and told she had became Queen because her Uncle had passed.

    Today was the day in 1607 that colonists would land in future Jamestown

    in 1986/7 Chernobyl disaster happened.

    Not today but in Sept/Oct 1066 William the Conquer invaded England.

    I know so much history that another person (ie a simmer) nicknamed me "Ms Magnacarter"


    I can remember back when I was 7 I went to Disney World in Florida and I remember seeing Cast Members dressed as Snow &Prince and Mar Poppins&Bert and I remember going on Tea cup ride. I might or might not have gone on the then-Haunted House. I remember my Gr. 3 teacher in June 1999 asking me why I was upset (my dad's dad had died ). I remember doing a Twisted Fairytale story for my Gr. 2 class. I remember every year in elementary school a classmate's mom coming in for Chinese New Year and teaching us about it. I also remember around the time I was 4 or 5 I had an ice cream cone for the first time (I associated it with Pinnichio because I watched that movie for the first time at that time as well).



    So between my sensitively issues, and rountine+memory. I also learned recently that some autistic children to have a tedency to "mumble" (which is what my parents especially Mom thinks I do) and then have to scream what they was saying to whomever they were talking to. Which is a problem I have as well.



    So between my memory being like an elephant's and my sensitiveness issues and gettting upset when routine gets distrub are all signs of austim
