Right I get that.
Thanks @Jynx
I think for me - in the past I felt like this.
My therapist lately said I worked my way out of that.
I guess I need to read about that but first I want to work on my artwork.

@avant-garde ugh, that makes me soooo mad!! Like even if you WERE faking it, that doesn't mean you don't still deserve compassion and understanding. Yikes.

Maybe they'll finally take my seizures seriously when I get diagnosed with non-epileptic seizures by the neurologist...

@rav3n I watch movies and TV shows, I listen to music also. I don't do much else though, I take the occasional walk when my body allows me to.

@PeppyPatti artwork is a phenomenal goal - and I like that you wanna focus art first! Society often tells us to work before we play but I say 'It's not like I'm gonna run out of work, might as well play as often as I can!' 😋

She has more support than I do, she has her fiancee, her mum, her dad, her step-dad, multiple support workers, one of which was there yesterday.
She paints her mum as the enemy but she's just like her, abusive, overreacts and only cares about herself and her money.
Her mum owns the place she lives and takes care of everything for her.

Mm @avant-garde it can very much feel like the odds are stacked against you when she has that community backing. Things tend to come around though... I hope she has a chance to learn some day and can realise that she can actually choose to move through the world differently. But you ain't gonna be the one to teach her that!!

My friends in the group don't like the word hate and don't like my suggestions of despise or repulse... suggestions?
