Finally some rain
The worst of summer is behind us.
I can now start again.
I’m so glad!
I have some friends
who think I’m clinically insane.
Which is a real shock because
They offer no help. Only a diagnosis.
It’s demeaning.
I’m always getting that.
Half the people I work with
think I have Aspergers.
Which is an insult to Autistic people.
I’ve never worked in a pandemic.
It’s not as fun as I thought it would be.
I’m not depressed.
I’ve had a few moments of anxiety.
But I keep pressing on through.
I hate that these so-called caring people
Would choose to ruin our friendship
By directly saying
(Not implying)
that I have a mental illness.
Time to find new friends!
Even if it were true -
I wonder what good they think
it would do to bring it up
unsolicited - unasked for.
People watch too much TV.
They’re all armchair shrinks.
Off to work!
The simple truth is they don’t know me and they don’t like me. And they have to come up with some name to call me.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a mental illness, that would be a truth. Not an insult. People throw words around - like an attack. I’m done with it -and them.
