| curl-6 said: Thanks for the responses, advice, and encouragement everyone, sorry to go all DairyChartz on you, I should know better by now than to post when I'm feeling down but I guess that's one aspect of what I mean when I say I don't feel like I've matured, despite my best efforts I'm still quite impulsive and have trouble controlling my emotions. I all too often say or post things in an outburst of anger, sadness, or excitement instead of thinking it through. Feeling a bit better today though.
I actually work with kids as a career, I'm a mentor for children with autism. In that capacity I work in both classrooms and support groups as well as on camps, events, and such. And it is indeed very rewarding. I guess I just still have that biological urge to pass my genes on. |
I don't have much to say about the rest of the stuff, but don't be ashamed to vent. As someone who struggles with mental illness, there are several times I've typed out a post and then deleted it because I felt like I would be judged (or maybe more accurately that I'd judge myself) for posting it. I personally think that being able to ask for support is mature and a healthy coping strategy.
