Nobody is going to do that for you and I don’t mean to sound heartless but complaining about it isn’t going to fix it. There are worse things in the world than the above and my Wife has Endometrioses and some other rare diseases and suffers from chronic pain and all of my disabilities (Asperger’s, ADHD and OCD) are nothing compared to that.

Where did I imply anyone said those things where a walk in the park?
Also you know nothing about my life, I am currently in therapy/treatment for my Depression/Anxiety/PTSD and I guess some of the difficulties that come with aspergers...I spent a lot of time/energy to the point of stress overload to get on SSI and I am making due with my current life as best I can...also trying to consider moving out but that's not my first priority really at this point.
So do me a favor and don't blame me for having mental problems, yes having depression makes it hard to see the bright side its not like I want it that way, or I just need to 'try harder' to be positive, I have a lot of crap on my plate to deal with and am doing the best I can with it.
I also don't see where I said complaining about things fixes it, but being this is a mental health support site I figure its ok to talk about my problems and complain about things that bother me in an attempt to get feedback from others who can relate or support. IRL a lot of times I will keep concerns to myself or how horrible I feel as to not bring anyone else down...but I have to have an outlet somewhere hence why I come to sites like this as well as going to therapy currently.
Also it is a matter of opinion what conditions are 'worse' or whatever, either way I don't care to have a pissing contest over which conditions are worse...also thinking of people having it worse than me does nothing to make me feel better, usually I just feel sad for those people. Also though other people having it better or worse, does not make what I have to deal with any easier or less valid than it is so not really sure what your point with that is.
