Depression

Post Reply New Topic

Why Aspergers people have more mood swings? One day I can be happy & the next day day sad, I can also be happy, then few hours later, I can be sad. On Christmas Eve day I was very happy, I ordered groceries from online, I bought more pumpkin pie, chocolate chip cookies, whip cream & chicken salad in a container from the deli section. The delivery guy was friendly & talkative, he brought in my groceries & we also talked a little bit, I put my groceries away, I didn’t have any anxiety, I usually have anxiety when I’m on my feet, I listened to Bryan Adams while putting the groceries away. I continue to stay happy. On Christmas, I woke up depressed, I stayed in bed until 12 PM, I continue to be depressed, I was a little better than earlier. I’m ok today, but little sad.

Yes, I'm very up and down myself. I tend to feel better in the morning, especially if it's a nice day. Yhen the anxiety creeps in, especially at night.

Probably because Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects socializing and life opportunities and the level of discrimination a person receives from society. There are lots of negative factors to having Autism which often results in depression that a person experiences. That explains the environmental factor somewhat...

There may also be genes associated with depression that are more likely to be expressed alongside Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

I don't know myself, but i am the same way. Don't understand my feelings well.

I had a big meltdown, cuz of responsibility & less help, I have a friend that helps me with my apartment cleaning, trash & she wash my clothes, I need more help in life, she not enough, she has job, she in this country with a work visa, she can’t come much cuz of new year day & her birthday coming up soon, she wants to spend it with her other friend, making me feel very mad & really hating life, she didn’t understand why I got so upset, I wish I can explain things right. When I had my meltdown, I wanted to die, I keep saying to myself that I want to die, I was in my bedroom putting stuff away, I was sitting on my bed, my cat was on my bed too, I asked her to bite me so I could hurt myself. I really hate feeling alone.
