Hitting the Wall

Post Reply New Topic

I have hit the proverbial wall this week. What I mean by this is that this is the first time I have had to admit my aspniness to myself and to realize my social life is not going to get better. I really felt depressed for 6-8 days; I just couldn't shake it. I have came out of my funk now but looking back it was like a cold slap in the face. I personally feel this is the hardest aspect of AS I have dealt with. Has anyone else had to deal with this?

I had every now and then but my friend, Michelle told me smile because you never know who will fell in love for it. Usually a friend of mine cheer me up about it and it worked.

Not to this effect no.

But realizing that I'm no Superman or Superbeing, and can't change the outcome of something means that I have to face my limitations.

It comes to realizing that we're all human, even if we have some odd ability that can affect the way things are.

Per instance, I'm what would be considered in most super hero circles a level 4 or higher seer or empath, meaning that I have dreams which while they don't make sense at the time, mean something, it can be a shape or the way something happens in that shape that makes it do something. (and for the record, I am not making this up, it's not deja vu either, it's like preminetions, but as such that they're shown to me before they happen) It's almost like what Joseph had (from The Old Testament) though his were much stronger and clearer. God though used Joseph through his dreams, much like I believe that God is using me through these visions that I have.

back on track. We have to face the enevitable that as Aspies there is not much we can do. We can be strong and courageous, but we're still people, just the same, and the event will not change because we want it to. PRayer and trust in God seem to be the only things that work. I have to face that right now with a friend of mine whose parents currently are being immature about letting her come back to college this year, all over the sake of letting her get her own off campus appartment. There is nothing that I can do for this except pray and offer her my support in all of this, and pray that her parents have the maturity (her dad and her step mom both in her words are both immature, whilst the step mom is manipulative) to realize the stupidity they are causing.

Cathexes is wonderful for times like this, because by writing this down, it's helping me understand the inevitable may happen and she may have to acquise(SP?) to her parents, which is one thing she doesn't want to do.

anyhow, with this, i ask you to pray for me in this, please. thank you.

Just because you have aspergers doesn't mean you can't succeed. I would recommend reading books about body language or social skills if you want to get better. I would even read books about AS so I would know what not to do. That's how I learned. I only read books about AS, and one about relationships that was written for aspies. It was written by Jerry Newport and his wife too I think.

I used to feel depressed but now I don't anymore. I have a boyfriend and I never gave up trying to find one. I just needed one who was right for me, who understands me and doesn't expect me to be like all the other women. I also gave up on finding friends in my teens because I saw now point in having them because teens didn't have anything in common with me. I was into computers, video games, and movies. But I try again when I was 16 but didn't work out. No one wanted to come to my house. But I was friends with a 10 year old boy who was my neighbor. We both loved video games so that's what made us good friends.
I still don't have friends because I choose not to. I don't see the point in having them if I have my boyfriend. But I don't mind having online friends and meeting them in real life if they are close to me.

Hang on a minute, why is it not going to get better? Mine was pretty sh***y lately so I've started working on it and it's improving. What's stopping you doing that?
