Living confused

AnneMargaret

Hi everyone. I haven't written on here all year I don't think. I wondered if there was anyone who could talk to me about how I am feeling? I was diagnosed two years ago and have had a lot of difficulties in my life. Right now I am struggling again. I have all these sort of feelings inside built up but I don't know what any of them are. I don't even know if they are positive or negative I just feel frustration and I'm taking it out on myself physically and at others by shouting. Please could someone explain or chat to me? Sorry for moan. Anne.

  • hi anne

    i am glad to know that you have an appointment next week. write down everything you think inportant enough to discuss, don't be distracted or fobbed off.

    certainly you can let me know how it goes, i will keep my fingures crossed that you obtain an aproppiate outcome.

    respect

  • Hello. Thank you, I have booked in at doctors for next Thursday. I will let you know how it goes if that's ok. Anne.

  • hey AM

    you come across as very self aware and as such you need to tell your GP that you are hard wired to be AS but depression is cuased by a treatable chemical imbalance.

    i think you will find a pro to take you seriously as a person who is unwell rather than using your 'label' to fob you off. shout at them (literally) about the sh, point out that it could esculate if you are denied proper and appropriate help.

    i am rooting for you, best of luck.

  • Hello. They say I have depression too but whenever I question my feelings with them and talk about my confusion they (GP) say it's just what the aspergers means. I've experienced a lot of trauma apparently but never had any proper counselling. I would love to have an hour here and there to sit and explore things with someone but nobody will see me. I'm going to try and book in with my GP again and see if he can help, as it's a new dr. I have started sh again from today but don't really know why. There is only one word I can use to summarise these feelings the best wy I can and that is frustration. 

    Thank you for replying, I really do appreciate it. 

  • you poor thing, are you sure you're not clinically depressed.

    i had my crash when i was in my mid thirties, i also engaged in sh and mentally all but shut down. for some time i refused to see anyone about what i was going through. however in time i saw a pdoc and began a long but beneficial association with the mental health services.

    if you can please go and discuss how you are feeling with a professional. there is absolutely no real stigma attached to being ill and trying to get better.

    let me know either way how you are getting on.
