Anxiety and Depression

jesuslittlechild77

All my life due to having AS i have been picked on and bullied. I kind of get depressed because i'm usually lonely since it's hard for AS people to make friends. I also get scared of paranoid of people when I go out because I think they will make fun of me, so I try and avoid going out unless I really have too :( Does anyone else have these problems?

  • I don't realy like people much, thanks to previous bullying in my life etc, but I've learned to be confident and accept myself. I know things no-one else will ever remember and that makes me happy. Usually when I have to go outside with 'normal' people I wear the same necklace, same trainers as well as my 'fidgit toy', a fluffy thing I find comforting if I end up getting yelled at for 'being too weird' by random idiots. Most times I try going to the same places because then its comforting that you know where you are.

    Try taking something familiar or comforting with you. And I got some advice years ago that I know sounds unbelievably stupid, but it actually worked :D

    Before you go outside, look at yourself in the mirror and say 'I am beautiful'. People look at each other all the time, and the feeling of getting watched is normal when you're outside, just take your time getting used to the prescence of other people cause like it or not, we're stuck with them XD

    I hope this helps.
