Got a dubious reply from a casting agency...

Sometimes, you can't beat slander. Some people who work as film producers may be jerks in general. I'll probably give up once I get my own flat, and chalk it up to experience, but I don't even know what the heck is going on with my new support yet, so I'll call them up.

Is it possible you have OCD and can be treated for that with medication? OCD is common with PDD.

Yeah. I definitely have OCD; I know it's not a great thing to be plagued with.

Hugs, Peter. I DO think people here are genuinely caring, and do just want to protect you from unnecessary pain. I can see your situation from both sides.

Everyone should have a dream. Some of us are very brave about sharing our vision with others---that also makes us vulnerable to snipers and nay-sayers. However, keep in mind that you should expect people here to want to try and encourage you along a less stressful path. No one with a heart could read what you've been going through without wanting to ease your frustration.

You're very good at writing. I'm really impressed with the way you express yourself. Perhaps that is something you could concentrate on, more? It's creative, and you definitely have a knack for it. I think you could be a natural for advocacy, and as a chronicler of many aspects of life in our related communities.

Just a thought? It would channel your abilities very well, and can always open doors, down the road.

Congrats on your courage and your openness. I think it's a beautiful thing.

I agree with previous poster. Your writing is superb. Would you try to write some stories? You are very good at it.

I'd really like to know why this company hasn't arranged my new support yet, despite telling my sister many weeks ago it would be done in August. I'm a week away from being in a major film, and there is no bloody support set up for this yet.

Social services are just so very terrible. Since I'm paying for it, what is the hold-up here?
