Stressed out and upset.

Post Reply New Topic

Hi everyone,

Ever since i went into middle school things have really gone from bad to worse especially this year. First of all i am completely stressed out from all the hard work my teachers have been putting on me lately, but most of all i am completely mad and upset by how much harassing and teasing i am getting from kids at school. To make things worse my boyfriend recently broke up with me (we dated for about one year and 2 months). He knew about me having Aspergers since we were in a serious relationship at the time. I recently talked to him asking him if my disorder had anything to do with him breaking up with me, finally he was honest with me and told me that it somewhat had to do with the brake up because he thought i would obsess about things to much and be annoying and that i should stop. I clearly told him that i don't notice that i am doing these things, and that i don't do them on purpose. I had a lot of times printed out good information about Aspergers to show him but from what he recently told me, he never liked me printing out those papers of information for some reason. He just didn't seem to understand. Things at home though have been a bit better but my parents have also put me through a lot of stress especially my older sister who i think tries to get me stressed out on purpose. The fact of the matter is i am really worried that one day things are just going to get so bad that i wouldn't be able to handle any more pain or stress and that i'd end up trying to commit suicide.

Don't worry. Pain is just like anything else. It does not last forever and you will get over the break up. There is nothing wrong (IMO) with being obsessed with something. However might I suggest you study yourself and see what thing you could improve on.

Its not really as much of the break up that i am upset about, its just that fact that i am feeling more lonely now and helpless especially because i lost one more person that i got to comfortably talk to and be with. Now i really have no one who i am close with or friends with at school.

Well I definatly know how you feel. I'm sure there a lot of people who know how you feel NTs and Aspies alike.

Yeah. That's the part of this difference that really sucks. If it's any consolation, it's even worse to have someone around who you should be able to talk to and can't. It's like biting into a candy bar and getting cardboard.

Hang in there! It's great to get these feelings out like this. By not letting them build up inside, they can evaporate properly, like steam off boiling pot. Life is all about feeling elated sometimes and down at other times. Remember: you always have friends here to talk to and life is wonderful sometimes. When those wonderful times happen, you always look back and are glad you hung on!
