| I can't deal with this overwhelming sensation of emotional turmoil. Every interaction I have is awkward. No connection is formed with anyone. I feel so unbelievably isolated. And in order to even try and get anywhere with anybody I have to have make myself portray some sort of sh***y social act. Pe... |

| What abilities do you lack the most? Whats the hardest for you? Like, whats a specific thing that causes your friends to feel far away? And Life is sh** at times. I feel for you. The main thing I lack is the ability to reply adequately to things people say. It's like my mind is completely blank and... |

| and I'm really tentative about going. I've never actually met any "real" aspies before and I'm nervous about it. The main reason I'm nervous is because I'm pretty much self diagnosed and suspecting myself of aspergers. However I was nearly diagnosed early this year but I backed out in the final part... |

| I don't mean to offend anyone here but I can't stand being awkward. I would say it is the symptom in my life that affects me the most. I reckon I would be a happy person if I could just communicate naturally on a regular basis with people. But why is that so much to ask? It's so frustrating being su... |

| There is no way I could get checked. If I was doing a course that didn't have a mental health screen I'd do something about it. If it was the beginning of something nasty I definitely wouldn't be able to complete the course. The main symptoms I've been experiencing recently besides the weird fog are... |

| Recently I've been feeling extremely spaced out and foggy. I don't know what's happening to me but it feels like there is a cloud or fog engulfing my brain and preventing me from interacting with the outside world properly. It's such a strange feeling. It came on very suddenly about a month ago. I r... |

| Hey there, I think you should tell your doctor everything that you've posted here. If you are having difficulty communicating/expressing yourself you could take a print out of this post and show it to the doctor. I'm not saying that you are experiencing a form of psychosis but I believe that you may... |

I remember I used to have a fear of escalators after having a bad experience on one (I seem to remember getting trapped at the end of one in a clothes shop). Ever since that happened I always used to use the stairs when shopping with my pare... |

| As a young child I used to have really dark and moody dreams and night mares. I used to have really scary nightmares when I was like 8 where I'd wake up in my own bed and walk downstairs to discover my whole family dead in a pool of blood on the floor. I'd then wake up covered in sweat and wouldn't ... |

| Does anybody else get this? I look around me sometimes at social events and just watch people interacting. And a lot of the time all I can see is people being false and attempting to mask their own insecurities (especially when alcohol is involved). I'd say 90% of the time in social situations I fee... |
