ok, so i have been diagnosed with aspergers for over two years now and the past 7 months have been a nightmare so that was a reason why i wanted to make this post, well i guess it all started off when i was in a car accident, i was told earlier that day someone in my family had died but i wasn't sad, my m + d (mom n' dad) didn't understand my lack of empathy but i was dragged to the funeral anyway, so soon after my problems got worse, my life was (and still is) school, home, school, home ect..., i have panic attacks if im in a public area with many people for more than 2 hours, i have a fear of supermarkets, my phobias have got larger in size and im spending 9 hours on a computer each day. when i was younger i was being bullied and i started losing my hair, i was offered anti-depressants but i refused, that was 4 years ago now. i now don't know how to cope and about 4 months ago i started using inhalants, but then i tried my mom's pain meds and i felt like an emotional pain was lifted and my body felt like a weight had lifted off my shoulders, but i swore never to try them again and stuck by my promise, so i will give a list of problems
: irrational phobias
: strict schedule
: kind of agoraphobia
: problems with sleep
: anxiety and depression
: problems with relationships and ''closeness'' (kissing or hugging), i threw water over my little brothers head when he tried to give me a
hug
so my question is, other than my aspergers, what do you think this is?? i know i have aspergers but is there something additional, and if so could it be treated, medication, therapy??
