    @Schildpad I think I want to feel understood rather than sympathy if that makes sense?

    @66Mustang thank you. Yes I do. I always felt the odd one out in my family and out there. And maybe that is difficult .I only feel understood in some settings but it is hard to be understood.. In particular disability wise. Few people get it. I would just try to get on with life the best you can. It is good to not deal with people who do not understand you or make you feel bad and only keep those who you know you care or you feel they care for you. I have cut off wih some people in my life. But it is not easy.

    @Schildpad

    I totally get about only engaging with people who understand, and can see why you'd do that.

    I guess I'm a bit like my dog, too optimistic 😆. Like my dog, I'll engage with anyone, assuming everyone might be a friend, only to realise there are people who - without knowing me - decide I'm an enemy based on things like how I look, gender, disability etc.

    I am going for a walk. Yesterday I took my medicines very late as l completely forgot. When I remembered it was 11 pm. I could not sleep and I have been tired all day.. I can not forget to.take them today at the right time.. a stroll might do some good.

    in order to feel accepted sometimes we have to start with ourselves.. i do not like myself. i keep making mistakes and say things i regret. even thought i keep my month shut almost all the time as i feel i am making a fool of myself. and also i have nf1 what makes me different. even if it is not too obvious it is after a few seconds.. so learning to accept myself is one thing as i hate myself. i am surviving in this jungle and trying to keep going in a world i am not feeling comfortable with. still i am taking selfies maybe because my body in general is changing so much to worse.. Anyway i will watch a couple of films and let see tomorrow. i hope weather will be ok as i have to go out.

    Good morning all. It's a mixed bag here for weather this morning in Brum. Bright but no blue sky. Expecting downpours throughout the day. It's still not that cold though, I haven't needed my heating on yet. We have had alot of spiders, so i think it's getting cooler.

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Sorry to read that @Chris75_. He sounds like a great guy. Must be very difficult.

    Hi @Grumpy1314 I've released your comment. One of the words must have triggered the spam filter. I'm really sorry that those posts are happening. It's good that your focused on yourself and wellbeing. Hopefully once this divorce is finalised you can close the chapter.

    @Chris75_ aye some of the youth can be trying if not downright insolent. Seems like you handled it right. I remember a few years ago seeing 3 lads ganging up on a lad with learning difficulties, nobody else seemed bothered but I couldn't pass … cost me a few hours in the police station for grabbing hold of one of them until CCTV showed he came at me first

    Is Gus a popular dog name in Scotland ? Another member here has the same name for their dog

    Due to some of medications causing gum disease I had the pleasure of scaling and root planing today … when I go back in 3 months for it again, I'm taking the injections. Literally made me cry 😫 Plus almost found out what water-boarding must be like, I swear I nearly drowned

    @Grumpy1314 … I wouldn't worry typing a song title got me in the system 😂

    Hope things calm down … I know what it's like to have a psycho ex
