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'm sorry that you feel that we've been bickering. I was trying to talk you both up with positive ways of dealing with your situations. Liv, I don't think you or anyone else with depression is doomed. There are some people on the forum who think like this but I think they are wrong to think like that.

    Apologies to all for another clunky mispost.
