What Are Things You Are Still Trying To Manage?

I bring this up because I've always been a nice person. And yes, I always hear the you are too nice and going to get used. Don't worry, I stand up for myself and set boundaries. It's always worked before. But ever since being diagnosed, people don't take me seriously anymore. If I say I don't like something or say "no", people laugh at me and say, "oh, she's being emotional again from her meds" and continue the same behavior I am asking them to stop.

I am sorry you are having to have to hear such insensitive comments. Fortunately or unfortunately when someone says such unkind things to me they get an earful and I magically find myself spending less time in their company.

I'm sorry to hear that. People think that they can treat you like that. If only they could be in your shoes. They have no idea what you're going through be strong, you're stronger than you know

I am sorry to hear this. Yes, I went through this when I started getting better. I don't spent much time with those people any more.

The thing that I struggle with the most is organization and stress. I think some of the problems I have are caused by medication. The stress level is getting ready to skyrocket! The school year starting--and I'm trying to get my classroom ready now.... The first day is next week! 😱

I'm Very Caring & Too Kind Hearted But Thats How Libras Like Myself Are. This Is A Prime Example, Why I Stopped Socializing With Friends & Family. What's Really Sad πŸ˜₯ Is Our Disability Shows & Proves Who Has Concern, Care, Love & Will Be There For Us. I Had A Best Friend From 1985 But I Ended The Friendship 1/2024. Even In My Phone book, I White-Out Several People. You Don't Need People Like That In Your Life & You Will Definitely Be Fine Without The Negativity. Stay Strong & Keep Your Head Up. Have A Good Night. πŸ’œβ€πŸ’œ
