I am feeling so intensely alone right now. Whenever I talk to someone, I feel like I'm bothering them. I never feel like I can share my emotions! I am depressed- severely depressed. I just want to sit here and cry my eyes out the entire night and not care about anything else. Nothing is making me happy anymore; I do things I used to enjoy, and now it all seems meaningless. I just want to run outside and scream! I can't stop my mind from continuing to spew out horrible thoughts- depressing thoughts that keep me in this loneliness. Why can't I just run from everything? Is there anything that is ever going to make me happy? I can't be the only person in the world who is constantly struggling with depression and feeling alone. I remember coming to this forum a long time ago and feeling alone like now. This is the first time I even remember sharing myself. I'm pretty sure that I was dealing with these same kinds of emotions. I just need to talk to someone.

I think I am done with this rant.

I know how you feel. I've gone through a bad depression myself years ago. I'm over it now but I know it would of helped me aLOT if I would had had some friends I could of turned to. You & anyone else is more than welcome to PM to talk about this stuff or anything else. I could use some more friends & I like talking about this stuff it it can help someone so you will NOT be bothering me. Maybe we'd both feel less lonley

I can imagine what you feel. I've been there, but it gets better. Try to talk to someone. Go for a walk. Don't give up.
Also depression can be a sign of magnesium deficiency. If its really bad, maybe consider professional help.

I've been in that situation a lot these last few months. Have you ever considered a depression support group or outpatient treatment?

I keep coming over depressed aswell. Unfortunately I don't have any advice to offer because I'm not very good at giving advice, but I am good at empathising and I can relate to how you feel.

I just feel angry at myself lately because I have 12 cousins and they ALL go out clubbing, and I feel that I should. But I don't want to because I hate dressing up, drinking, dancing, and socialising with youngsters who are all dressed up, drinking, dancing and have normal social skills. But I don't like being the only one who doesn't do this. It's a constant battle.

It's like, I know somebody who loves milk, but can't drink it because she can't digest it or something like that, but she really wants milk and likes milk, but can't drink it because of that problem she has with it. That is exactly the same as me with going out - I want to and would like to, but my AS and Social Phobia is stopping me.

Vicious circles make you feel anxious and depressed. Once you get yourself into a vicious circle, you can't get yourself out, unless something changes to make you happy.

You need anti depressants. Please don't look at them as happy pills that change you; they aren't, they're a pill used to treat a physical medical condition to help you function like you should, like any other pills.

I feel the same way too-many nights I have cried myself to sleep and on top of another aspie hurting my feelings very badly and certianly did not hurt them at all it seems but hurt me deeply and I sit alone and feel inadequate as a human being.

-.-... This ^ is partly the reason I haven't posted anything. I've tried anti-depressants and they made me suicidal. Moving on.

Thanks for the support, guys. I've made it through another depression spell, thank God.
