I can't remember how to set the time on my blood sugar meter. Stupid daylight savings time. >.<

I got my period the other day. It's the first time I've had my period WITHOUT my BC pills in five years, and vividly remember now why I went on them to begin with. I'm bleeding like crazy and my cramps are so painful they rival my kidney stones. Oh, and the REASON I went off my pills? Hormonal BC gives me high blood pressure. This means my options for birth control are seriously limited now. And the only two long-term options I have are a copper IUD (an interuterine implant) or permanent sterilization, neither of which the doctors will even THINK of giving me because, of course, I'll ABSOLUTELY one day change my mind even though I've been asking after sterilization since I was sixteen.

I have Asperger's, goddam nmit. What am I supposed to do while the new site goes up? I nearly had a heart attack when I thought FSTDT would be gone forever. No, really, Distind has done a hell of a job trying to get the new site up, so kudos to you. But I do have a few questions: 1. will there also still be RSTDT's and CTSTDT's?, and 2. will there be the old awards? Holy crap you have Aspergers, so do I. Awesome Anyway, im pissed off because my mother wont based my achievements based on individuality but on what my sister does. Once I got 92 percent on an exam, my mom said yelled at me for half an hour because my sister got a 96. And I used up all of free periods studying for that exam and I got fired for my job because I missed several of my shifts while studying for it

Oh, and the REASON I went off my pills? Hormonal BC gives me high blood pressure. I had to go off BC pills because they made me severely depressed. However, I only tried to kill myself once while I was on them, and I've tried 4 times since starting anti-depressants. I really fucking hate medicine and messing with my body chemistry. The real reason I wanted to vent was my damn job. I have 3 midterms next week, the first one tomorrow, and I haven't been able to study one bit because I've been far too busy working every damn day. I worked 13 hours with a half hour break yesterday, and they are trying to schedule me to work the same hours without a break for next Saturday! Here's the fun part: I work in a restaurant as a hostess, so on weekend nights I'm in charge of running the wait, which is as stressful as fuck. Last night, we were on a wait for 4.5 hours, and it took me directing seven people all over the goddamn store to get people moving through to get us through that wait. Next Saturday, I'm the only host scheduled. The only goddamned host. I've run a wait by myself before, but never on the scale of a weekend night's wait. So I'm going from 7 people to only myself. I may just hand the wait list to my incompetent as fuck general manager and walk out. Or maybe I won't, because I desperately need this job. Back to my homework. I'll be lucky if I get all this shit done now.

Okay, I'm over it now.

thread link? Poor Redhunter I liked the red rocket if that helps, it can't be all bad when the forum wants to name a space probe after you. It must be nice on top

re: my tooth--I called the dentist's office this morning; they said I should go to the drug store and get this temporary filling stuff to put in it, and I still can't get in until the 24th to get the filling and crown. I think I'm gonna cry. I'm afraid if I eat anything too hard and chew on that side it will break. At least I finally figured out how to set the time on my blood sugar meter.

I had to go off BC pills because they made me severely depressed. However, I only tried to kill myself once while I was on them, and I've tried 4 times since starting anti-depressants. I really fucking hate medicine and messing with my body chemistry. *Hugs muchly* It took two months for my SSRIs to stop making me feel suicidal - and much longer for them to start doing any noticeable good. The doctor warned me and my family that starting anti-depressants often causes a deep plunge into severe depression - if only for a while. I found it hugely ironic that one of the listed side-effects of my anti-depressants was "suicidal tendencies". Heh. Anyway, just wanted you to know that eventually, things will perk up vis-a-vis your pills. My best friend's mother was on them for six months before her emotions began to balance out, and she's been much happier ever since. Take care, and seriously, don't kill yourself. The bright side isn't too far away <3

I'd be careful about the IUD it tends to make PMS and bleeding worse not better. I got so bad that I would rip somebodies head off and then cry about it (I screamed at a bus driver because his route didn't go where I wanted it to). Are you okay with Latex? Because I'm thinking that may be your best option. What about a different type of hormonal BC?

Yes, I'm aware I have gray hairs. Yes, I'm aware I have a lot of grays for someone in their late 20s. Yes I know there are people in their 40s that have fewer gray hairs. Why the hell do people feel the need to point these things out?
Also why the fuck does the dude who lives in the apartment above me have decide that 1 fucking am is the perfect time to clean and move things in his bedroom.

Oh dear. This is just the thread I needed! Why on Earth one has to get virus on the worst possible week of the school so far? I've missed two exams so far, didn't get my essay done in time (If I'd only know what to write about I'd do it now that I'm getting better), have two portfolios to do; first one is screwd up because I can't do those things at home since we don't have suitable programs on computer for it (school stuff) and other one would require me to meet the Bitch who made me cry and explode on her lesson. And I still need to do few presentations, one of them about the subject of the essay that I haven't even started yet and then there would be some kind of media/newspaper related thing to do and I'm honestly not gonna pay for newspapers that I don't usually read I've been trying not to think of it/stress myself with it and instead I've been trying to breathe and drink enough - which was kinda hard, so I ended up paying 150€ for private healthcare on Sunday and some more for the painkillers that the doctor prescribed - but I have my doubts that the teachers aren't accepting that as an excuse. Just to add more stuff I also have dentist appointment for Thursday I so hope that by then I'm ok enough to go there since I want that root canaling to be dealt with so that we can move on (possibly by then with my regular dentist) and fix few teeth that have somehow lost their fillings. I feel like I'm drowning to this shit. And I know that I need to get my ass to the school as soon as possible. And I also know that next week, IF I'm given more time to do my stuff, I'm going to spend like 12 hours a day at school and trying to do those horrible assignments after lessons. I know that I'm not organized but I just started this school on January, my studying skills are still bit missing - and I totally lack whatever it is that is required to be able to do this stuff at home, everything seems to be distracting me at the moment... Besides this is supposed to be upper secondary education, not University level stuff. And it shouldn't be that hard either since my sister went though exactly same study programme while missing 1/4 of the lessons - and I just don't get how much I seem to fall behind in just a week! There it is. The reasons why I'm angry. Minus other health related issues. Did writing this make me feel better? -Absolutely not. Now I'm just more stressed about it in advance - never going to get those things done since there seems to be more of them than yesterday! And if you really read through all that shit I wrote, I'm so sorry for wasting your time.

The tooth saga continues. *growl* So I get some of that temporary filling stuff, and do my best to put in last night. Those of you who've never had a temporary filling before, it's this white, plaster-like substance that tastes like ass; you basically use it like spackle. I thought I did a pretty good job of it, but half of it just fell out. I was eating cheese. Cheese, mind you!! Fuck, I just want to eat normally again, and I've already been screwed out of having it fixed twice!!

I fucking HATE that temporary filling crap. I had to use some of that to fill in a hole in my tooth once, and all it did was make things WORSE. What started as a dull ache (caused by exposure to the air) turned into an absolutely excruciating AGONY when the stuff caused some kind of reaction. In the end, it very nearly caused my tooth to abscess, and I had to have the whole thing extracted. Which was a pain in and of itself, because I had to wait almost a week to get into the dentist (because nobody needs to see a dentist on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, don't you know? LOL and Monday through Wednesday were booked up everywhere...)
