Quite stressed and depressed, for some reasons I can not really talk about.
I am trying to be strong, I have a better life than so many people I know, but thinking of that does not really make me feel any better.. I know it would be easy to blame all my problems on my Aspergers, right now I wish nobody in the world knew I had it.
I have been trying to get support, but getting a psychiatrist on the NHS is surprisingly hard considering my doctor thinks I am going to kill myself any time now. I have no real intention of doing that. However people never believe me.
I have been trying not to get so emotional, and not cut/burn myself, however I kinda failed at that tonight. I am a naturally emotional person, and have shared some things I found difficult to talk about with someone, someone I love very much. I feel so drained.

I am who I am, and that is okay. :?:

On a lighter note, I want to say a massive thank you to WP user androidbeing, he is a great guy, and I am sorry I am not a better friend.

Hi Hun, I'm sorry to hear you are not feeling too good, i went to my doc to get referral for shrink and doc told me it was a 9 month wait!! ! At this point i was also self harming and feeling suicidal so i changed doc surgery and got a referral straight away...if your doc is not helping you then try and change surgery, there are some really good docs out there. If you do cut/burn don't beat yourself up just accept what has happened then make a fresh start tomorrow. Take care. :star: :star:

this is very good advice, indeed. what's the point of suffering over something that is not in our powers to change. it's only about us getting used to the reality. the sooner we accept what has happened, the better for us. and after all, it's only and only our choice to be in grief a year, a month or just a day or even a minute.

there are two kinds of problems, solvable and unsolvable. the solvable ones are to be solved, to unsolvable ones are to be accepted.

I am sorry you are feeling bad...I get to feeling that way an awful lot myself...where I just hate being stuck inside my own skin/brain....fortunately it isn't always like that..just difficult to ecape from when it is.
