About Me
I am trying to learn terms to survive society. Here is present stressor: Can you tell me why I am told I am 'refusing to listen' and 'refusing to acknowledge' What I am told in places like Daily Strength? I spend hours/months studying advice and try whatever I can. Is it something I am not saying? 2-22-8 NEVER MIND! psychiatrist says to stop interacting with anyone socially
Interests
I want a more tolerant world for my grandchildren (impatiently waiting for them), intentional communities, environmental sustainability, essential oils and natural remedies, spiritual attunement, service animal, reading

I’m With You
Hey there! I'd like to invite you to join the Laughter Club. Have an excellent day! :)
Hug
Hello my friend. How are you doing? I have been trying to get rid of a cold for over 2 weeks now. I have some flowers coming up from seed and a set of doves are building a nest outside in the palm tree. It has been very windy the past 2 days and I was worried about them but they seem fine. Please write me and let me know how you are. Melissa

Support Groups
Close Asperger Syndrome
I was diagnosed autistic as a child, but the diagnosis was removed when I was found to be able to read. I was too intelligent so became 'evil' instead. I believed this all my life until I discovered I had Asperger's Autism. I can only get ASD post HFA because of current diagnoser's choice, but think Aspergers is the best catagory for support. DS won't allow any treatments to be posted or evaluated in any of my chosen groups. SOME support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Treatments
- Meditation Working / Worked
- Has worked many years until past three months
- Acceptance Somewhat Helpful
- The autism is great, I accept it. I don't accept societies attitudes and treatment of neuro diversity or disability
- Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
- until overwhelmed and shutting down
- Crying Somewhat Helpful
- DailyStrength Working / Worked
- No way to look up members to support and no way to access what is entered for later needs
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- lack of cognition inhibits effectiveness
- Electroconvulsive therapy Not Working
- Had to be resuscitated twice. It erased my memory and only partial return, so others are happy for the unreactive zombie, but I am distraught at the loss of all my files on how to survive socially. and doesn't treat depression except acutely while a vegetable. It did cure smoking. Forgot I ever did.
- Helping Others Working / Worked
- best type of distraction
- Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful
- Magnesium Too Soon to Tell
- I am on it for post concussion syndrome, but it is supposed to help. I'll see
- Meditation Working / Worked
- Has worked many years until past three months
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- mostly a waste of money and time since they universally twist what I say into something opposite
- Remembering Not Working
- very negative to be forced to do this
- Remeron Not Working
- weight gain, diabetes and high cholesterol
- Support Groups Not Working
- live support not too useful - DS is great support
Close Chronic Pain
left shoulder after being twisted out of socket by police for being autistic. Then again by nurses when I was depressed about the chronic pain for being even slower processing. Decreased ROM over a decade now. New right rotator cuff tear from drill throwing me off a ladder three times Apr07. s/p MVA 9/07 multiple areas of distress, hoping still will fade.
Treatments
- Meditation Somewhat Helpful
- Effective with typical mild to moderate distress but lack skills to deal with severe distesses. Practicing fairly regularly for 35 years.
- Acupressure Somewhat Helpful
- Want to learn more of this- only know for headache and that's working somewhat for the tension component when reading with double vision.
- Acupuncture Working / Worked
- For shoulder, like magic but can't afford the 4 treatments
- Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
- Was miracle at first for back pains, but residual is fairly strong discomfort-job interfering!
- Heat Working / Worked
- Ice first worked better, but heat gives some relief for back pain, shoulder none to worse currently.
- Meditation Somewhat Helpful
- Effective with typical mild to moderate distress but lack skills to deal with severe distesses. Practicing fairly regularly for 35 years.
- Naproxen Not Working
- stomach pain and GI bleeding by third day
- Neurontin Working / Worked
- actually not taking it for this but will see if it helps the various distresses I have WOW! stopping caused me to have even distress from barely bothersome prior pains. 900 at bedtime and 300 in am moderates pain reasonably
- Peppermint Working / Worked
- works a couple of hours at least for moderate pain, lessens severe pain alot but short time. Some other essential oils are more effective and healing, but cost prohibitive at present.
- Physical Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- For shoulder, I think I improved to a point, now regressing Won't let me have treatment for back pain
- TENS Somewhat Helpful
- Chiropractor used in and really good for a few hours after, but no access to continue
Open Back Pain
s/p MVA
Treatments
- Meditation Somewhat Helpful
- Peppermint Working / Worked
- works a couple of hours at least lessens pain alot
- Relaxation Not Working
- I have done Progressive Relaxation so long, I can tell as soon as I tense up. I need a pause in the assault to get the exercise to work. It is rare to happen before I am shutdown into catatonia.
- Stretching Not Working
- sometimes something pops in midback and spasm lets up leaving ache
Open Dizziness & Vertigo
s/p MVA have vertigo spells still Dizziness on drugs, maybe anxiety and autism causes some deficits in proprioception
Treatments
- Antivert Somewhat Helpful
- Less severe, not fix, had side effects
- Meditation Not Working
- vertigo only with movement now and walking meditation is not working
Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
20 years emotional and sensory I am living in conditions that keep me in autistic shutdown most of the time. (1-30-8 No legal or other assistance until physically damaged and likely to be done by his telekinetic ability. There is no one else to help me)
Treatments
- Forgiveness Not Working
- at first it seemed to be good to forgive my husband's affair, but think it demeaned me in his eyes. With parents, they think it never happpened. This should be called LETTING IT GO. It is only to help me not give them any closure and won't even tell anyone I forgive them any more.
- Leave Somewhat Helpful
- Trying, no assistance. I did leave previous relationship when beaten second time in three months. He stalked me for 10 years. 10 years now of not aware of stalking. Not sure how it could help this time. And really cold to live in a car.
- Meditation Somewhat Helpful
- has helped for years, but acutely not working
