Depression

Hi my name is David [edited by mod to remove personal information].

I'm a 21 year old university of salford student currently living in manchester

as the subject says I am suffering from major depression and thought this might be the best place to talk about it as I feel like people don't understand what its like to be autistic and depressed.

I feel rather alone because despite the fact I have friends I have never romantically connected with anyone.

I also feel like im playing a balancing act between what I want and what other people expect of me

for example I got into a massive arguement with someone when I was in college because they said I moaned too much I was not aware I was doing in and as such I repress a lot of my bad emotions

It seems to be causing me problems however such as problems getting to sleep and bursting out into tears at the drop of a hat

I thank you for taking the time to read this and was wondering if anyone had any advice whether its direct of someone who I could talk to

    I was trying to paint a picture where depression can be dealt with by tackling the underlying root causes of the social problems. In my opinion, this is a more optimistic point of view than thinking that you are doomed to a life of depression by your genetic make up.
