Im sorry.

as no-one else is going to apologize to us for what we suffer, Im going to.

Sometimes I read through these posts and threads and I think how its just not fair that we are all have to subject to posting our feelings on a website and how many have no-where else to go and all those people out there who have no idea the pain this involves. Of course i want to cure myself, but sometimes i just think you know, i want to do it for everyone else just as much if not more.

Im going to try and make it a whole lot easier for you all one day. I dont know how or when, but I'm going to try. No-ones going to do it for us, so we have to do it for each other.

i agree.

ive just recently started attending counseling sessions. i found it really helps. im also a psychology major.

any guesses what i plan to do with my degree?

once i figure myself out and learn how to feel better, i hope to be able to help others on their way too.

what pisses me off is that the society does not know what SA is. More awareness needs to be generated. It sucks when people label us as 'freaks' or 'retards'

exactly. half of us wouldnt be half as bad if peoples reactions werent as bad as they are right now. people spend so much time getting "awareness" out about guns,violence, knives, crime in general. it annoys me when people say ooh we all need to be more aware of this stuff, and im thinking wtf? EVERYONE knows what violence is and what is going on in the world, they just dont know what the fuck to do about it and no-one wants to admit that. but thats another story. I wish people would open their eyes to the suffering that no-one ever talks about and most cant.

I don't know how much it would really help me if people were more aware of my condition. Once my only friend told a close friend of his that I had SA without my knowledge or permission and it really upset me. I had a panic attack before I met her. He told me he had to tell her because it was the only way to explain my behavior. I felt betrayed.

And even if people don't think we are retards, they will still think we are freaks, and we kind of are.

We just have to find a way not to be so upset by it. We have to love ourselves and accept ourselves. Don't ask me how.
