New member with Aspergers and severe anxiety, please say hello!

Hello, people! I'm not sure what to say here, but I have diagnosed Aspergers along with all sorts of anxiety issues (BDD, general anxiety, terrified of phones, plenty of other situational anxieties) and depression. I don't really have any friends on or offline and I find myself emotionally unable to cope with people, so I'm horribly lonely. Hence being here!

(Incidentally I could go into a rant about how impossible it is as an adult to get any sort of support for these things but it really goes without saying, I've been sleeping on a sofa for the last few months and there's nothing I can do about it because of my fear :| )

  • Hi from me also Smile.  I'm sorry to hear you're having a difficult time.  I'm the mum of an adult with autism.  From reading your posts I think you have a talent for the written word.  Can you think of ways to use your writing skills to contact professionals who might be able to help you?  I don't want to put pressure on you but there may come a time when you feel able to try, so bear it in mind.  Also, if you haven't already, have a look at the posts + the home page.  Loads of info which is helpful.  Also post on here whenever you want.  Lots of people understand.
