scale of -10 to +10, how do you feel right now?

Yes, if you tell your family then it should make things easier, your parents will be able to help you deal with it. My family understood me a lot more when they found out about AS, so they recognised that I wasn't just being deliberately awkward etc. You should tell your mum/dad that you think you need to go to see the doctor or that you want help. Or you could just show them a website on either of those things and ask what they think about it.

Get your butt over to the L&D section, and start a post.
We want gossip!

Then the best way to handle it would be see a doctor first, however you can manage that, and then tell them what it is. I get the denial bit, my father was great at that. "How can my exquisite genetics result in anything less than perfection?" Yeah, not like he's anywhere near perfect, but that's the best I could figure as to what was going on.

Ah. My parents play the it's-just-part-of-being-a-teenager card. I know what you mean.

If you can't convince them - absolutely cannot, 100% - could you ask them to let you see a pyschologist just in general, without bringing up any specific problems? The pyschologist would be able to dx you with other things, and then they would have to face it. If you can't even get them to do that, then you really should talk with your guidance counseler at school (I assume you're not homeschooled). Having an offical adult break talk to them may open them up to the possibilites.

You could try explaining to them that someone else has suggested this might be what you have. They may be more likely to take it seriously then.

i see a psychytrist in 2 weeks anyway but i dont think i can talk to anyone about this it was almost imposible on the phone i dont think i can talk about this again

Can you write down what you're feeling? That may be easier, just to present it in a written format. If not, what about showing him/her what you've written here? It's a start at least.

-1. I drew and painted a bit so my mood is going up a little bit. I was supposed to go to a friend's house but it didn't happen so it brought me down again.

If you can get his (or her?) number, try to call the psychiatrist on your own and say you would like to be seen earlier. That should work. Getting your parents to be ok with it, well, the doctor might be willing to talk to them after you talk with the doctor.

Definitely a good idea. Writing it down can really be helpful.



er...keep...drawing and painting? I really got nothing right now. At least it helped some.

3. I have a heck of a headache - compliments of staring at the computer for too long, which I've known since it first started coming up - and neither of my friends is coming. It's almost midnight, and I'm going to bed. Good night all.

I met Raylynn from WP.
