Well it's four years today since my breakdown that changed my life. So I will talk a lot as this will/may help.
I have a number of things wrong with me some from birth ( Aspergers Dispraxic Dislexic Arnold Chiari Disorder) some forced on me ( Personality Disorders due to abuse BPI Confrontational Disorder Panic Attacks General Anxiety Disorder)
I grew up in a small mining village the third generation of miners. Was abused by sister well for as long as remember emotional mental and physical. Went to siink schools and was crippled at 13 spending 3 years in and out of hospital. Then worked in offices and ended up jobless for two years. Went to College and got degree BA ( Hons) 2i. Then off to do MSc but dropped out from the Doctorate i was to do. Worked again then ran own business. Then did Law and became a Lawyer. Did that till my breakdown.
Now I am training in creative writing and intend to become teacher for special needs kids home tutor and organise workshops in creative writing for the mentally challenged.
Have decided that I will eschew all things people and activities that make me sad or tense or down. I will be selfish as to my time and protect my mind or what is left of it. People can like me or leave me accept me flaws foibles etc.
I am clever, witty, creative, erudite, articulate, passionate, intense, kind, generous, supportive and also moody, argumentative, bad tempered, self opinonated, unforgiving, etc. Thats me and I hope some people may see the good as a balance for the bad.
If you have read this thanks for your time. Blessed Be.

I worked as a teacher for special needs-Loved it! and they loved me! If they see me in a store, they will still run over for hugs. I also applied for a job shortly after my breakdown(too soon) at a wonderful place. They have severely mentally challenged adults doing all kinds of serious art, pottery, weaving, carpentry, etc. I was a huge campus. It is amazing what talents some of these people had. One guy has sold his paintings all over the world. They had a few hanging on campus, but he has made millions. It is in some kind of trust for him. He's a white dude, but he loves drawing and painting black women. (My kind of dude, since I'm African American:-). I didn't get to meet him while I was visiting, If I had I'm sure he would have wanted to paint me. They say he is amazing. He can look at a room for a few minutes and then go off and draw every detail. He had some really great art work. This is coming from someone who knows zip about art work, but I know what I like. I liked his work, and I like you. You will love working with special needs. I loved it. They will appreciate your personality. I was sometimes a little over the top when I taught, but I taught them things no one else had been able to and they thought I was fun and brilliant.
Love Ya!
