I struggled to find your original post this morning and was sorry to see that you have removed it. You sound as though you could do with some help and friends and I firstly wanted to say that this forum is a very good forum to discuss issues like yours where you may really struggle to find anywhere else that understands what you are going through and the problems and opportunities you have. The forum is a very safe and friendly place and we are all struggling with similar issues so there is a lot of experience and insight that we can help you with.
I put your tagname in quotes as it makes me just feel sad to see someone define themselves by what they have failed to do. So far, you have succeeded in getting to university in complete ignorance of your Asperger's condition. You have then come unstuck, unsurprisingly, because you didn't know how to manage. If you can learn to understand your condition and learn to deal with it then I don't see any reason why you can't go back and finish your degree or find another course to follow.
Please post a reply as I would really like to continue the discussion that you tried to start.
Thank you :)
I hope to go to university in future but for the time being I'm doing volunteering, hobbies, hopefully work and a 10 week woodworking class starting in January (my Christmas present :)) and maybe some other classes :)
Today I can't settle to anything and I'm irritating my parents because I'm so overtalkative. Is it possible to have bipolar disorder and social phobia and for the social phobia to take over the mania? I'm never highly sociable so the psychiatrist said I don't have mania. I'm not that bothered as I'm happy enough with my pills as they are and am aware of the side effects for mood stabilisers. Of course it would be great if things could be even better.
I was making my cv today and asked my dad how I should do my grades. He said "leave them all there to fill space because you have nothing else going for you" and my mum backed him up saying it's true. Lots of things are true but still horrible to say e.g. you are really obese to a short very fat person.
You're right. I do need some friends :)
