My ex fiance today told me I am bipolar and I am using the excuse of autism to get my way and not have fault with anything. I could have died... really i wanted to down a bottle of pills that he would think that way of me. I was diagnosed as Bipolar at age 15. I have taken pill after pill after pill, therapy after therapy and nothing helped. If anything, I felt more angry after the therapy sessions and then disappointed when the medications wouldnt work. I never gave up and had my psychiatrist put me on something different every time i did not get a result... I wanted my pain to stop, my meltdowns and my rude words/behavior. I CRAVED being normal. So I did everything I could. ...
Hurting for you!!
I hope that having some understanding of what is behind all the pain and confusion can be of some comfort.
If I tell people that I have been diagnosed with Asperger's, some aren't surprised, but a lot of people are. I've had 30 years of practice and some exposure to life and I seem a whole lot more normal now than I did as a teen.
