Hello
I'm very tired right now and having a hard time articulating too much. I look forward to sharing more and growing with you all over time.
Coming across the term Aspergers was such a relief after a lifetime of inability to function in social situations, and feeling like an alien. A lifetime of trying to fix myself without even knowing what might be wrong in the first place.
I don't have any close friends, and I leave my room only for the bare necessities. I am estranged from just about everyone in my blood family due to dynamics of trauma. I feel so powerless and disabled by my inability to form social bonds. I keep trying nonetheless, even though I know I'm terrible at it, even though it's nothing but exhausting and demoralizing. Why do I keep trying?
Working on getting a formal diagnosis. For a while I was afraid of the risks associated with having that on my record but then I thought, at this point, it can only help. How much worse can things get from here really?
