Hi from Rio

Well-Known Member
i was diagnosed by my psychiatrist as a bipolar when i was 16,when i had my 1st maniac depressive episode.then when i was 17 he told me i had it due to the fact i had asperger's traits,so he diagnosed me with asperger.so i have communication issues,and i also have difficulty to deal with people.due to that,i have few friends,but they are enough for me.i just wish i had more contacts,.but the biggest problem is to deal with stranger people,in situations like on a job or college.i still don't have a job and i'm not on college yet,but i'm working on it and i know it'll be very difficult for me when i get there.a thing that hinders me of talking the way i want is my memory,that my psychiatrist says it's overused due to my lack of intuition.so many times words escape me when i try to speak,and that makes my comments very short,and that ain't good of course. i don't know any aspie personally,i think i studied with one,but we never got to know each other.no way i want to look arrogant,but the feeling i have when i enter in aspies' forum like this,is that everybody in those foruns are much more developed than me,that their issues are much smaller than mine and if i introduce myself and talk about my issues,they won't understand me and will think i'm a joke.it's just an apprehension of mine,and i really hope i'm wrong.
 
Welcome to the forums at Aspies Central. Feel free to talk about any issues that you may have - we're a community built around helping others.
 
thanks for the welcome you two,because now i realize that at least in this forum i can talk about my issues without worrying myself.i think that's a place where i can get to know people with ploblems like mine and then share our experiences and learn with then for us to overcome our difficulties.i think that the aspies must be united,because the world is merciless with people like us,so if we don't help each other,who will?
 
I hereby welcome you to the forums, it's a good thing you guys can talk about your issues without worrying, i was even able to see that for myself when me and Calvert created this forum and has actually helped us in a way to cope in life situations and some of us even discovered our talents and our strong points. :)

It's nice to see another user from Rio here. :D
 
Welcome Clairvoyant...I hope you enjoy this forum as much as I have. I've never been one to really participate online, but something about this group is very calming and fun.
 
I'm 35 and still don't have any real friends. But I can't talk about my issues anywhere without just getting told not to worry about them. Can't get any proper advice anywhere. See responses to this post to find what I mean.

hey bruce!by the way i'm 19 male,and i think i understand what you're saying and feeling about people.i feel the same too.people here tell me not to worry about talk about my issues,and i think they really mean that and they are really trying to help people here, but i think even so the most won't get what i say well enough to give me a good advice and to really feel or have felt the same i feel about my issues.but i think i have felt the same you feel or even worse about don't have real friend,even not knowing for sure what you mean about don't having real friends.i think you mean you only have some people you talk a little or talk the necessary,like at work,but you can tell me better.but the point is that 1 year and a half ago i didn't have a single friend.i talked to nobody,i was completely lonely,and due to that i had 3 frustrating bipolar episodes.but after that i've met again 2 guys i studied with,one of then was a class mate and the other was a young teacher.then due to fact that i would repeat the last high school year in the school i was and that i wanted to approach then,i went back to their school,and then we got approached and we became friends.i was very lucky that they listened to me and really understood my issues and gave good advices,but what i mean is that i know what it's like to be alone and have no friends.i don't know if that's really your situation,but being or not,i think you'll understand me.i don't want to give advices,i just want to share experiences and grow up with then,i hope you think so too.
