Are people in your life extremely unsupportive during your hard times?

I’m surprised my support forums hasn’t put any restrictions on her postings . They’re pretty generous with her.

Interesting. Even though members keeping telling her the same thing? Good for her.

I’m definitely doing the best I can with what I got. Right now, at 32, I got an emotional maturity of a 10 year old (by my estimation). It’s hard to develop socially and emotionally when you’re constantly emotionally abused by the outside world. Or you’re constantly taking a hit emotionally every time some nice person, out of the blue, turns on you.

Just like a child wouldn’t physically grow and develop if they’re going hungry and getting beat up, people who been frequently emotionally traumatized don’t develop emotionally

Why? She is coming here for support/venting/sharing. There has to be a serious reason for posts be restricted.

I don’t think it’s against guidelines.

I know I said I wasn't gonna respond anymore....but....

1. Yeah she's frank, too frank, makes her a target easily to hostility, impatience, intolerance. That's indeed an ASD trait.

2. She's too angry and entitled at the same time though maybe she's just venting strongly. Which fans the flames further.

3. Everyone here is frustrated because...? Is it that hard to handle that we are unable to help her?

Is it that hard to detach and let people be as long as they are not trying to actively harm us? Really?

All this hostility is not going to make OP learn anything faster.

Think about that, all of you.

*bows out of thread for real*

No probably not. If the forum determines its helpful for her to keep posting she will.
I see some other posters are getting very frustrated with her however.

With just my disorder alone, my emotional maturity woulda been around 21 right now. That is absent the constant emotional trauma. Hence, I’m just 10 years old emotionally.

It’s good that you recognize this. What kind of emotional support would you like to have? People can’t reassure you that you are right in your dysfunctional behaviors and faulty thinking. We can say we feel for you in going through what is very painful for you. How can we support you here in a way that will help you feel better or learn to act in ways that will lesson these conflicts IRL?

Also, if you do not see a therapist, can you please explain why you are not?

Who is “everyone” hostile and frustrated? If you see hostile posts report them to moderators, other than that I see no need to play forum police.

I wasn't specifically talking about you at all. I saw the atmosphere getting worse so I felt the need to stand up for OP.

Has nothing to do with playing forum police or running to the moderator, because I think people here are adults and are able to look into themselves without having to run to the moderator all the time.

The earliest available appointment at the walk in mental health clinic is in October. I took that appointment. No other counselors outside the clinic accept my insurance

It’s horrid you have to wait till October. Could you ask your GP and pdoc to help you with earlier appointment? It’s sooo long!

How about at your work? I find they don't give a ****.

So why should they care? Idk. Why were they so caring with my Arby’s coworker?

You really dont see a difference between the two situations?

Maybe you need to volunteer at a hospital or someplace where people could use your help.

The only difference I see is the degree of how bad it is. It’s definitely worse to have your mom die. Aside from that, both situations are about losing someone who used to care about you. She lost her mom through death.
