To all you wonderful people on wrong planet-

I seek the advice of you people with similar experiences on this most wonderful internet site.

But first a little background about myself.

The aspergers makes it hard to make friends.

The sensory processing disorder makes it worse.

The cerebral palsey makes it feel like I wear gloves, sometimes my hands feel almost like only hooks.

The auditory processing disorder makes it hard to understand people and sometimes I have wear earmuffs so I do not get overwhelmed.

Then there is the anxiety, depression, and sleep apnea.

And the frequent nightmares at night, and paranoia during the day.

Yet I am on pritiq and zoloft, and I have a counselor and doctor and other such support.

I am trying to work full time and do an apprenticeship among other things.

I feel like I am falling apart inside.

It would be a shame to see this opportunity go away becaause I cannot handle out.

I had a support group, but it went away because of lack of interest.

I guess I need some support. have real friends

I need hope that I can feel love, I can have friends.

Thank you my friends.

Oh, I am a 28 year old man working with adults with disabilities. Amazingly, people say I do well. All the negative emotions are within the confines of my head, behind my calm, happy front.

Hi Bubzy. If working full time is too much you can always cut your hours?
I relate to a lot that you go through, apart from the CP. I have horrible motor skills though. Kind of clumsy and labored.

Using here to vent is a good start. Welcome to WP!

What caring people. I am flattered that I am already getting replies.

I hope I don't seem odd, but my brain does it's own thing sometimes. But hey, I guess that's true for a lot of people.

I am approaching my mid 30's and am just now beginning to get the full picture of how this AS has figured into my lifelong social difficulties, particularly in the finding and maintaining of decent, genuine friendships. This has been a very long and difficult road.

Glad you're here and I hope we can make this a place where you'll find some friends and encouragement.

Welcome to WrongPlanet.

welcome! i too wear ear plugs to school, work, even going to the store. it helps me become more relaxed, usually.

Hi bubzy, I wish I had more to contribute, but I'm not as sorted out on the inside as I present either. Lately, I've taken up poetry as a way to express any negative feelings privately. Maybe an artistic pursuit would help. You don't have to be good at it (I'm a lousy poet), it's just a way maybe you can get some things off your chest without having to discuss it with anyone... although, discussing it with someone might not be a bad idea either.

I felt an immense relief at being able to come and discuss things with people on a different level than that which I had been dealing with my entire life, and fully endorse and invite anyone to rant and ramble at/with me.

All minds great topic

Interesting username.

Also, The Haven is a good place to talk about what is on your mind
