I dont use the other boards here,so im not sure to which this post belongs,but i wanted to mention something,here is a paste of a thread above involving link...
Link,
with all due respect to the fellow posters, you have ADD. You're still in school, I believe.
Focus on meeting new people. Heck, let me even put on the aluminum foil hat myself and say, yeah, maybe you might even have Mercury in your body.
What the heck will that do for helping you accept your self, your condition, and becoming a person with more expansive interests than before?
will it add to your love life? your sense of well-being?
Do yourself a favor (one that you deserve): leave this group, like I did like 2 years ago, more or less... and go to meetup.com.
Learn to salsa dance. Visit an art museum with people who share your interests. Play laser frisbee at night.
Your time is valuable, and you are young. Ignore this board. I never once, in all the time I spent on it, got anything out of it other than a group of people reinforcing the sense I somehow was ok to obsess about stuff that was beyond my control, regardless of what info was out there to Google.
I don't care what people think about this post. Go outside, Linkadge, and live the life you were meant to live--- join a meetup.com group, and enjoy things.
As John Stuart Mill said, when he was suffering from melancholia at the age of 8, "The moment we ask if we are happy, we cease to be happy."Consider that quote, in context of what the objective of this board. Is dwelling on stuff going to help? How's that working out for you? Last time I checked, you were here at least since '02. Do you see yourself being on this board in 2012? 2030?
That's really not the idea I think Dr. Bob had in mind here... there's getting help now and then, and then there's turning a condition into a preoccupation. And that can be worse than what you started off with. Take it from me-- I was you for like, 2 years straight.
Your time is valuable. Don't waste it on things that aren't. You will reget it later, as have I.
<<<<OK i think there is still confusion on emotionol disroders in my "view"
This is when told......-Go out more,do things,be more social,attend partys,etc,etc,....I get frustrated because i dont think people understand that a good reason many are here is because these things like above mentioned are not NEW to us,im sure many thought to GO OUT AND DO STUFF,opposed to posting here or being online period.
The problem is,in my view of course,is that these things told to us are often GOALS......NOT OPTIONS.
I know what i WANNA DO,i simply cant,and i fight this fight in hopes i can live a life as close to normal as possable,of course this is simply MY VIEW ON THE SITUATION.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!
