Unsure

Chrissy28

Hello,

Just joined this forum to get some advice. I'm 28 and not been to doctors about aspergers. I have been there on and off with depression and anxiety though.

Ever since I was young and started school I never felt like I fitted in. I would stand to the side and watch other kids run around at play time in primary and it would take me ages to start to speak with people. Id had a hard time being bullied in high school because of this. I'm still like this now.

I also seem to have other traits such as hating being in crowds, finding it hard to make eye contact. Getting flustered when something unexpected comes up that I have to do that day. My partner likes to go places spontaneously but I like to research places before we go. Look up the route there etc.

Would it be worth going to thedoctors to see if I have aspergers?

  • Thanks asparagus that seems a good idea. I have had CBT in the past but might try that again.

    I know whatever my mind set is, whether aspergers or depression or anxiety it affects my interaction with people. I have serious trouble talking to people. When I went to job interviews they said I was too quiet and timid and anything I had prepared to say would fly out of my head. But that may just be anxiety. 

    I'll try not to over think things before I see someone
