empathy and love and emotions

Post Reply New Topic

I am still wondering about my place if any on the spectrum.

I am married now. I do recognize my husbands pain and respond to it, but sometimes I say things and do not realze how painful it is to him.

Unlike many on the spectrum I have strong emotions and I can name them. But Im bipolar too.

I love my husband but at first it was like I loved a special interest.

My doctor isnt sure if I have it and is not interested in finding out. I just plain have no peace because the spectrum would explain many of my past and current problems.

Wow, that made me look at some of my platonic relationships in a completely different light! Never thought of it that way, but you describe exactly what I feel sometimes.

On a more serious note: get a second opinion. Few things are worse than suspecting something and attaching all these meanings to your own existence, without knowing if you're on the right track, right? Could be a revelation!
