Hey guys, I had talked to Matt Sinclair yesterday, and he told me a few things that I felt should be posted here, but he felt that I could write it better. So, this is why I'm writing it and not him.

Matt has been seeing a Psychiatrist for some time now, and yesterday he was diagnosed with Intermittent Explosive Disorder. This really helps explain his outbursts of absolute rage that can occur.

After learning about this, Matt made a pretty smart decision. He said he will be avoiding (not quitting per say) T1 for a while, and just play T2 instead. Why? The faster pace and higher tension found in T1 could very well be causing his IED (terrible, yet fitting abbreviation...) to trigger more often.

So, while it is upsetting to be told that you have another mental illness, Matt has handled it very well, and simply knowing about it seems to help him understand why he behaves certain ways.

He now needs people to play with him online now.

So your saying Superman could overcome kryptonite if he had more self confidence quit wishing he was as cool as batman?

Everyone wishes they were as cool as batman.

i did not say that. i was only using superman as an example of those who do nothing about their weakness. their weakness will only continue to destroy them figuretivly. and as far as superman and batman are conserned, why would superman wish he was as cool as batman? he has powers that batman doesn't have and batman only relies on his gadgets, smarts, and martial arts to kick some hind and send jokers packin. but that's beside the point and off topic.
getting back on topic

Accepting it as in giving it power. Obviously if you are in denial about even having a disability that's a bad thing

if one is in denial about even have a disability, then they are only deceiving themselves. i accept the fact that i have a disability, but why i do, only God knows and what i do know is, i can get through life knowing what i have and relating and knowing people who know what i struggle through, makes going through this life easier cause im not the only one who has it.
sure my disability may have a negative effect when going through life, but i live with my disability cause even though there is no known cure for it, i know that God still loves me for who i am and my defects don't change a thing about his love. i may feel like i'm a black sheep amongst white sheep in the flock while im on the forums as far as disability goes, but i know there's a God up in heaven and he loves each and every one of us equally, no matter our differences in gender, race, or heritage, he loves us all the same.

Yeah, your attitude is pretty much exactly what I was praising.

what is that suppose to mean?
