You're welcome BirdDancer. I am glad you liked them, I also enjoyed the articles. I know what you mean about the delivery and who says them, There are times when my mom or other people will ask me if I took my medication, it takes a few seconds for me to gauge how the question came across. Sometimes it sounds rude and demeaning, other times it is just normal. But my feelings towards what is being asked is sometimes interpreted wrong. This is because I do not like taking medication and it is a constant reminder that I am not normal and that I require medication to make me seem normal. Not sure if that makes sense to you. But that is my feelings on that.

So true about the ones you mentioned, I know exactly what you mean here. I can see how those would make you feel that way. I think it has to do with the facial expressions, body language and inflection of the voice that are key to receiving those messages. They are important when hearing these messages from people. I also think that it is key as to when the messages are delivered to us that make a big difference. Like as in the case where they don't like our responses, so they again ask about medication and such. It really is not kind and comes across very rude and dismissive as you said.

Thank you for replying to the thread and giving me your input. I like hearing others perspectives, it helps me with my own.

How did therapy go ?
