I hate my life
Warning: Rant following
I hate this. I hate dealing with insomnia, depression, social anxiety, Asperger's...it's just too much for me. I don't know how people on here deal with "worse" disorders. Seriously.
Yesterday, for no reason at all I was feeling a little melancholic, and then last night I started feeling depressed, again for no reason at all. I also wasn't feeling tired even though I was exhausted all day. I went to bed at about 4am. I woke up at 7:30 for class, but I was still feeling depressed and of course was exhausted. I decided to skip my classes and slept almost all day. This turned out to be a big mistake. One of the classes I missed turned out to be very important. Not only does she lower your grade if you miss even one class, but that particular lesson was important. She handed out some assignment that's due at the next class. It's supposed to be reflection on that lesson. I am so screwed. I need to get a decent grade in that class in order to get accepted in the teaching program.
Anyway, I am more stressed and depressed right now than I have been in a while. I don't know what to do. I e-mailed my professor and hopefully everything will get worked out with that somehow. But all my classes are stressing me out, and I feel so worthless and depressed. I don't even know why I'm writing this. I'm sure none of you can help me.
Lately I have felt a sort of void of emotion. Sometimes I'm happy, other times I feel like complete crap. My social life right now is weird too, it exists but I don;t know what's happening with it all all.
My whole answer to this was just to go about everyday life and what happens happens. Then again, I'll probably fail Spanish 103 and never progress with the new people I met.

No, I think I can. Know what I'll do? I'll sit right here. I'll be a stable datum in your universe. No matter how bad it feels, you can know there's this guy in LA sitting and being there and wishing you well.
With any problem, one must reach out and start somewhere. One must nail down one point to name all the other points and get them in order. That's a stable datum, that first point you choose to call "1". Well, it's not much, but I'm "1", and that's for sure.
You tell that professor what you're up against, and don't you hold back or accept any "everybody has problems so get it together" nonsense. Offer some good-faith effort to make up the assignment, and fess up to all the difficulties you're handling. Society has thousands of agreements it expects everyone to uphold, but some of them are--at times--beyond our powers as aspies, and that's not our fault. There's nothing dishonest about refusing to follow certain agreements and explaining why.
Best wishes, and keep on swinging!

I understand what you mean. I am under a lot of pressure at course, and sleep WAY too much and miss important stuff because I literally can't keep my eyes open. I'd never wish it on anyone it's terrible.
You could try drinking Japanese Green tea for more energy (I'm not sure how often you are tired in the day), and perhaps a type of anti depressant. I'm on clomipramine but everyone's different - so you could check it out.
Also it might just be me but excersise and doing good deeds for others help me with depression. Maybe you could have some chocolate every now and then to cheer you up a bit, or watch a movie you enjoy.

As far as the assignment goes.. i'm sure you will work something out. But for when things don't go as smoothly, Someone told me to think this:
"What is the ABSOLUTE worst that could come of the situation?" Yours might be you not passing the paper, and it means that you have to take it again. Try not to get down to it if that happens, just take it as it comes and you might relise that the worst outcome of the situation isn't as bad as you think.

I'm sorry to hear this. I have been dealing with more than I want to lately too. I don't hate my AS or anything - just having to live in a world with other people. It just seems that in the recent weeks I have been dealing with a lot of ugliness and selfishness from others, and it's wearing me down. I don't have anywhere I can go where I feel safe talking about it either. All my previous avenues for support have turned ugly as well. I dubious even of posting this much here, in this alledgedly "safe" forum.
I do have my close friends, but I hate dumping on them all the time with my problems. At least I can trust them, which is something that seems unwise to do with any others right now.
Well, things are looking up for me now. As usual, I guess I overreacted. Stupid anxiety. My professor is letting me write my paper on TODAY'S lesson since I wasn't there last week. I was already starting to feel better before this because I got a lot of stuff done this week, and I had a feeling things were going to work out. I'm back to my usual self for now. Cade and CHAOS, I hope things look up for you soon as well.
insomnia, depression, social anxiety
I have these sometimes too due to my autism ......and i believe that most autistics here have these problems too is some times.
I can't sleep most of the time .....even if i went to bed early .
As for depression .....well i think you just found out the best way to fight it : admit it to the others on the forum , talk about it ..... it may looks silly but i always vent in chatting or in forums when i feel deppressed and it make me feel better.
Simple positive visualization exercises work for me. I was in your world. I had it so bad I did not recognize what it was like to be calm. Happened for almost 23 years. Post tramatic stress disorder no one to trust not even my mom or dad or sister or brother. Low blood glucose is one cause of depression. Drop the white bread and all food laden with carbs and no fiber. L glutamine can serve as an emergency fuel source for the brain and can calm you down. That amino acid helped me relieve what it felt like to be calm. I went further try some visual immagiry. Could not do it . Sometimes it would take a while for me to get high. I determined it was a lack of focus. I was tired. I remember painting shows and the fact that I like to watch people draw. I was doing it then and not even knowing it. I would pretend that the painter was painting on my back. I igonred the fact that he was a male on the show. I also remembered my mom would tickle my back with a feather and I would do it her. My grandfather would twist cigar wrappers up and stick them in my ear. I knew I could do anything when I was calmn. Funny things happen to me. I started being more social I lost intrest in junkfood Itr reduced severity of symptoms. Some odd behaviors stopped. I went nuts after a while. I became cofident and felt attractive. I wanted to flaunt my body around. I have body builder muscles and six pack abs are starting to come out. Omega 3 and 6 fats helped also. I drank tea for the brain swallow detox herbs and that helped stablize moods. The tea I used words like sigmatize. I have that type of vocabulary but the tea maid my brain work like a dream. I would sometimes drink 12 at a time became super energetic followed by super brains. Omega 3 and 6 fats reduce inflamation that also hurt mood. They also reduce leaky gut that commonly occurs in autism. I look for nutrients that improve glucose metabolism like chromium biotin alpha lipoic acid zinc magnesium herbs like cinnamon I was know stacking with the moods. I figured out after mood improved music was enjoyable. Mood release sometimes overstimulating cause I am not used to it.
I had paxil and that stuff don't work on me. It might be because I have biapolar disorder. Morphine does not work either just makes me tired and I tripp on that stuff. I probably can't take lithium either because of final stage skin cancer. My mom does not want me to mess with my perfect immune system. I rarely ever ge sick. I am in my 3 year. I was given a max of 1year to live. There are alot of things going on with me my therapist does not even understand.

Bless you, GroovyDruid. You always manage to say what I would say, but even better and with more heart.
I just had an incredibly painful personal experience that I am still processing so I can't talk specifics just now. Bottom line: I went through it, faced the pain, and came out the other side feeling better and happier.
I can't even recall how many classes I missed in college due to depression, etc. I had to retake several courses. But I did finally (mirabile dictu!) graduate.
QuirkyCarla, I would like to join GroovyDruid in letting you know there are now two people in CA sitting, being there, thinking of you and wishing good things for you.

Yeah I am being ignored even though my advice is better. Might have been to complicated. Damn its important for you to understand you should ask doctor watson. That is me and my last name. I am not really but it seems like it. I am good at social stuff to. I know what to say. All the things I mention contirbute to mood. Am I too complex?
No you're not being ignored. Maybe someone will take your advice. QuirkyCarla I'm having a hard time my self. I've thought of ending my life even though I think you too may have. I'm still living. The medicine I'm on for Depression is working. I have OCD as well as AS. None of the two that I've mentioned earlier is as hard as the Major Depression I'm suffering through. Things can't all be that bad. Maybe you'll learn to live with it and go on with your life and maybe loving it. It wouldn't hurt. Take care of your self.

What am supposed to think? I mean getting maid fun of all through out school year mom is an ass everyother day pstd all the way. Some times I am too complicated to scientific and people here I don;t know if they process the info the way I do. My social skills are nt. Almost all of me on the social side is nt. Something has kept me isolate for 23 year away from everyone. All these things cross and it creates alot of confusion. I must watch my tone clarify when I right appologize if necessary. Watch the mood cause then I sound like aspergers.
