Hey! Turns out there's a TERM for the EXACT type of depression and anxiety that I frequently struggle with!! How long has there been a term for it?

I recommend reading these articles to get a better idea of what I typically have meant in the past when I say that I have depression, anxiety, social anxiety, or PTSD, or am worried about being hated or disliked. In fact, it's probably what I meant in some cases when I say that my behaviors or reactions or feelings are because of my autism.

Over the past week or so, my depression about the Forbidden Comment Threads, my ability to focus, my common sense, and my ability to speak without stumbling over words have all steadily gotten worse.

You know I've said how if I end up with too many creative vortexes stuck in my head at once, I might end up regressing? I think it's actually happening now, except most likely because of the Forbidden Comment Threads instead. I probably don't have much time left...

On some more positive notes:

- This is my 900th entry!!! At least it is if you include my glossary. If you don't, then my next entry (whatever it happens to be) will be the 900th.

- I changed the "♯ comments" and "Post a comment" text in my journal to say "I glued ♯ blenders to my face" and "Is it Saturday night already?!" (both of which are a Garfield reference or - perhaps more famously - a Square Root of Minus Garfield reference). I've been considering changing that text ever since I took Ours Will You 1-Up down and thus made "I'm ♯-Up"/"Will me 1-Up" stand out as oddly-phrased. (Actually, it probably stood out like that even while OWY1U was up.) And now I finally did! I also changed the current mood text to "This mood coming through", another Garfield/SROMG reference.

I just randomly looked back at this quiz from November 2009, and it suddenly hit me that the quiz pointed out twice as many bad qualities as it did good qualities. Or good quality, as the case may be. So I decided, just for grins, to take the quiz again and see how far I've come the past 2 years and 2 months:

People Like You... Sometimes

You are liked, but only when people are able to overlook your faults. Deep down, you are a good person, but you definitely have some obnoxious tendencies. So step back, and try to figure out when people aren't responding to you positively. A few simple changes could make you a lot better liked! What People Don't Like About You: People don't like that you secretly are annoyed by them. You may think they can't tell, but they can. People don't like that you're quite sensitive and easily offended. People feel like they have to watch their words around you. What People Like About You: People like that you give them support and strength. Friends know that they can count on you to be there for them.

Apparently not very much, as it still told me 2 things that people don't like about me and only 1 thing they do. One bad quality even ended up in the results both times - plus, I'm demonstrating it right now! :(

A - Autism is annoying to have; I want mine cured
B - Backwards music fanatic
C - College is one year away and I definitely don't think I can make it
D - Distracted by my own thoughts
E - Enya is my ♯1 celebrity crush
F - Fourth dimension is interesting to think about
G - Grapheme→color synesthesia is awesome
H - Holy whole hand dealer, some of these are pretty hard to come up with!
I - Internet memes are usually annoying
J - Jesus freak
K - Ketchup-flavored potato chips? Strange, but tasty!
L - LiveJournal, where I find it much easier to make friends than in real life
M - Misunderstood a lot
N - Norris, Chuck jokes I only sometimes find funny
O - Olimar, push the slush! (I really can't think of anything other than a backwards Enya lyric for this one)
P - pathvain_aelien and ellaina02 are my sisters
Q - Q qq qqq qqqq qqqqqq qq qqq qqqqqqqq qqq qqqqq qqqqq qqq'q q qqqq qqqq qqqqqq qqqqqqqq qqqqqqqq qqqq qq...qqqq, qq qqq qqqqq qqqqqqqqq'q qqqqqqq (Unqensored version: Q is the only letter of the alphabet for which there isn't a word with sexual innuendo starting with it...well, it was until witchkatt's comment)
R - Random
S - Six sixty-six-related dreams are a bad sign...
T - Teenagers that think they're cool often aren't
U - Userpic limit is too small for all 71 (as of now) of the userpic ideas I came up with :(
V - Video gamer
W - Won't drink alcohol, do drugs, or smoke even when I'm old enough
X - Xtra sensitive sometimes
Y - Yellow is my favorite color, but I don't have a real reason why (maybe it's because my synesthetic color for the first letter of my name is yellow)
Z - Zzzzzzzz until noon most of the time, regardless of whether or not I wanna get up earlier (unless I have school)

Well, I think I did good on my English exam. Tomorrow is math and Spanish - that shouldn't be a problem at all. Then I'm FREE.

Well, except for HAS. Speaking of which, I'm gonna have to work on that essay today. Blah.

And now, the obvious way to make this post slightly less generic: QUIZ!!



*cough*Imdefinitelynotorganizedorrebellious*cough*

School was pretty good today! My only homework was some history terms and a chapter of The Great Gatsby.

Random quiz of the day:

People Like You... Sometimes

You are liked, but only when people are able to overlook your faults. Deep down, you are a good person, but you definitely have some obnoxious tendencies. So step back, and try to figure out when people aren't responding to you positively. A few simple changes could make you a lot better liked! What People Don't Like About You: People don't like that you're quite sensitive and easily offended. People feel like they have to watch their words around you. People don't like that you forget them easily. No one wants to be friends with someone who doesn't remember their name! What People Like About You: People like that you don't gossip or talk poorly of others. They trust that you will speak positively about them too.
