I can't sleep

Posted by ♥*Barbie with a brain*♥ on January 21, 2010 at 3:45 AM

I'm very tired but I can't sleep because I'm stressed over life in general. There are things that really get to me in this society. I don't like being referred to as a vulnerble adult. I also can't stand the political correct attitude within society that means you can't do anything. It's only the stupid of society that have caused these political correct rulings. I have the worse stomach ache ever and I smell terrible right now. I'm not in the best of moods feeling ill anyway. It's also that time of the month for me which is not helping me feel any better. I don't know why but ibs seems to come on much worse when I'm around my monthlies. I have the worse stomach ache ever at the moment which isn't helping me get to sleep. I do want to sleep so badly but I'm very uncomfortable. I'm just fed up of the way people treat me sometimes. I know that it seemed reasonable in that meeting the other day but to me I found certain things an insult. I no longer want to be seen as a vulnerble adult just because of my diagnosis. I feel thick when someone refers to me as vulnerble, like I can be taken advantage of easily. I know that sometimes people can take advantage of me but I've wised up since those times. I could now out smart a neuro typical person so easily now. I may email people as a communication thing but I'm sick of people having a go. I'm totally against the political correct movement instilled by our government in establishments like colleges. I feel that it worked a lot better when boundaries could be crossed as it doesn't feel like as humans we are equal anymore. We aren't technically equal anymore due to all these rules being instilled. All it takes is common sense. It is causing huge divides amoungst people now all these rules have been introduced. In all honesty it makes it harder for me as an individual affected by a social problem. I'm literally put off getting to know anyone due to stupid rules getting in the way. I developed a fear of talking to people due to the way society is now. I personally want to change the way society has gone but it will take more than me to stand up and say no. I am also irritated right now as the owls have decided to start hooting and it's a very haunting sound to me. It's like living in the countryside and reminds me of ghosts when they hoot. We have bats round here too I've seen them flying around the garden last summer. I'm too tired to think straight right now. I have a hot water bottle on my stomach but that still doesn't get rid of the stress factor. I wish I could get rid of the pc stuff as that would get rid of a lot of stress. The government is a force that no one can fight as they lock you up if you say anything that is against them. I've spent enough time in police cells and court rooms throughout my teen years, so I don't want to go there again.

Spiked Magazine writes a lot about these issues (especially the consequences of political correctness).

And at the same time it's so important not to be apathetic.

The election is coming soon.

Another meaning of vulnerable is that you show your feelings easily.

Many times common sense: isn't!

Yes there will be an election soon but unfortunately the younger generation are too young to remember what it was like when there was an evil government known as Tory and they buy what the press say too easily.

Yes, Neil.

I'll never forget the day that Blair came into power as leader. May the 3rd 1997.

And I do remember a lot about the previous Conservative (Tory) governments. I was only a little girl when Thatcher was in, but yes, John Major (boy do I remember the last four years and second Major term). And then the whole sleaze thing.

One day on a quiz they asked about Kinnock, the Labour leader before Blair (which was actually in 1990-something).

And who is the press? Probably the Times and the Mail, as well as the Telegraph and the Guardian. And who could forget the Sun?

Also there's the TV and the radio.

Here is probably the sort of example I mean:

Free speech on campus?

That would probably apply to your situation, Emma.

And also young people might know about YouGov and TheyWorkForYou.

Hi Michelle:

Picked out your comment from my spam box and wanted to say a few things to it.

In my experience, there is nothing like meeting people (1) locally or (2) who have some of the same interests as you.

You're probably right that it would be better to listen to someone who wasn't his mother.

Emma has spoken and written about the death of her father recently.

"he says he knows but i think he scared stiff but wants it..n cant talk clearly so i can help."

When I read things like this I do wonder who is the one who can't talk clearly!

And also it's in the relationship/the dyad.

Can really understand about being scared stiff and WANTING stuff.

An English man whose writing I really admire is:

That Explains Everything

I don't have any writings from someone nearer your son's age.
