i understand. i can't live the conformity of society at all. i don't live like a criminal. lol. but one thing that stands out is that i'm unable to hold down jobs. it's not just my disabilities. it's also not worth it, for me. holding down jobs cost me my health in a huge way in a big hurry. i can't run around with my head cut off or i'll pay a huge price. i have to live my life at my own pace in order to be healthy.

i know we're getting too much technology and moving too far away from the natural. but there are huge advantages, for me. the internet, for example, and psych central. i'm almost completely deaf, and the 3d world of support groups are totally useless to me because i can't understand what ppl are saying. here, it's all "closed captioned." i'm not missing anything, since i read well. lol. of course, i don't read every single thread. and my phone, which is a tdd, allows me to have phone conversations when i call through the relay service for the deaf. without the technology of my phone and the relay services, i wouldn't been able to have phone conversations and would have to depend on others to do it for me.
