| but they also wonder why would you want a diagnosis if there isn’t any treatment/cure?. Plenty of autistics feel this way also and that is their right. Speaking of rude others telling you that you should not feel that way is rude. Sorry if I’m misunderstanding but are you saying I was being rude he... |

I never understood this as before my diagnosis I was constantly confused by why my brain worked the way it did and felt shame for the difficulties I h... |

Sorry you are experiencing this. Unfortunately poor mental health can cause a lot of pain and physical symptoms. |

| I don’t think people saying that is literal but I see why it is said. Dogs have been domesticated for a lot longer and are able o give clear facial expressions and communicate in ways that are easier to understand. Meanwhile cats can make very few expressions, lots of their body language is not obvi... |

| I used to also not feel like I was looking at myself in the mirror, it felt like looking at someone else so I’d avoid looking. I still feel a slight disconnect but nothing like before thank goodness. Yes, I had that experience when I was going through the worst time of my life. It's really strange.... |

| Like others have said, try to find other ‘weird’ people. As for starting a friendship it is hard but I try to speak to the other person and sort of follow their lead when it comes to the stages of a friendship. I also try to keep clear communication when I can although I won’t lie it’s scary but it ... |

However I remember when I did experience it feeling like I was moving through a sort of fog and watching everything as if it was a TV show. I used to also not feel like I was looking at myself in the mirror, it felt like looking at so... |

| Thank you guys. I feel a bit calmer now. I was really panicked because my city was literally on fire because of the heat which is unheard of in the UK I'm pretty sure. I'm feeling better now.

I have no hope and I just don't want to live anymore but at the same time I can't end my life. I've watched too many things about the trauma you leave behind... |

I have a relative who was a teen mum and got kicked out of her home and now as an adult she is running a successful business and has a lovely family. Are you on medication for your mental illness?
