Trust your gut.
If you're in doubt, you’re right, trust your instincts
Wandering
It would be wholly impossible for me to say whether this cloudy, silently disturbed, unraveled sky is mirrored in my soul or the reverse, whether or not I read the image of my own inner life in this sky. Sometimes everything is so completely uncertain! There are days when I am convinced that no man on earth can recognize certain moods of air and cloud, certain tones of color, certain fragrances and movements of moisture as finely, as exactly, and as truly as I can, with my old, nervous sense of poet and wanderer. And then again, as today, it can be doubtful to me whether I have seen, heard, and smelled anything after all, whether everything that I took to be true is not merely an image cast outward, the image of my inner life.
I am not what you think I am.
You are what you think I am.
She had performed as a shape-shifter with no sense of identity?
Don't spend your life believing a story about yourself that you didn't write that's been fed to you - that simply you've accepted, embedded and added to. Break the cycle.

What if we're already in hell?
Oscar Wilde wrote, "We are each our own devil and we make this world our hell".
The life situation you are living right now is completely your making, even if it feels really incredulous to believe it – it’s the truth. No one else is responsible for your present life situation, but you. It’s true that you may have created a messed up reality because you were not aware of your power as a creator, but nevertheless it’s still your creation. I’m sorry you’re in pain, but I think it’s important to understand the power to change your circumstances lies in your hands.
We create our own hell, it is the sum of all our decisions - we are not sentenced, we condemn ourselves. I read somewhere that men are not punished for their sins but by them. I think there’s a lot of wisdom in this statement because we are responsible for our circumstances once we reach the age of reason.
Dante encapsulates the soul of it in his vision of Inferno by showing how we are not punished for our sins, but by them. It is not an external thing visited upon us by God, or fate. It is an internal change we have wrought in ourselves. Each bad choice diminishes us in a particular way, just as each good one adds to us.
I’m sending you prana and good wishes, you have the power to change your reality.

Something positive:
Post the most selfless act you’ve ever witnessed. Since this is the last post I can make today under the 10 post limit here goes.
My mother was diagnosed with MS when I was about 8 years old. She was hospitalized at least twice a year for 10–14 days at a time for as long as I can remember.
Back then they treated the “attacks “ with prednisone.
I don’t remember the year that they came out with a new treatments but remember there was a lot of excitement about how revolutionary it was. There was a lottery to get the medication when it came out. Mom was one of the first to “win” the lottery.
She donated her spot to a young man who had just been diagnosed. She explained that she already had so much damage that was irreparable and that he had a young family and a long life ahead. The medication would have absolutely slowed the progression of her disease but she chose to give it to someone else. She did get the medicine a year or two later. She passed in 2019, but was One of the most heroic, selfless humans I have known. She is my hero!!

Wrong Planet
For clarification Wrong Planet is a forum community and resource supporting those with Autism, Asperger's Syndrome and other neurological conditions.
I left and I have not bothered to go back
The mods have shown that defending oneself from bullies is unacceptable.
Bullies are allowed to run rampant and relatively unchecked.
This is made worse by the fact that mods cannot ban people.
Bullies were the majority user-base.
The site is hostile overall, and ultimately unwelcoming.
I have yet to find a site that actually welcomed me, I have already been called a liar here and received a private message from a stranger demanding I explain myself.
Obviously I refused and was subsequently called a bitch. If you want hostility believe me I can definitely deliver.
I guess females here feel threatened when new females sign on.
That’s their problem.
