Back when i was a kid, my IQ was tested to be around 147, i was very bright but i had a lot of mental health issues. Now I'm 27, almost 28 years old, and struggling too much in life. Aspergers is very difficult because it prevents me from connecting with anyone, which i need to be successful. I also have other problems like anxiety, depression, adhd. I started taking meds again because i feel like i will go mad without them. On top of that, not realizing any of my potential is heartbreaking. I have no idea how i will get my stuff together now.

Try to take it one thing at a time. Life can be overwhelming, but every time you accomplish just one thing be proud of it. All journeys begin with the first few steps.
:D
