Good evenig everybody,

I am a german girl, twenty somethings, living in Berlin. Please excuse my bad english, I've no practice in writing.

I am not officially diagnosed. Since my youth I suffered from social anxiety and depression and some times the wish to commit suicide. Some months ago a doctor considered from my behavoir and how I did things I should test for Autism/Asperger.

And I think she was quite right. I have my anxiety and feel depressed because I think and see how different my way of thinking and my behavior is. Always beeing outside. Not fitting. And not knowing what to do, say or what the correct action even is. Getting stress from things normal people do everyday.

I gave up bachelor studies because I was no longer able to live on my own and was just KO. Depression won. That was one year ago.

I would love to find in this Forum help with the daily questions and problems overwhelming me. And helpful strategies to gain more selfconfidence. Despite I know I am normal intelligent my problems often makes me feel intellectually disabled and other people also take the same line...
 
Welcome to AC. You are not alone. What concerns you so much concerns many of us, myself in particular. To go through life and have it be such a day-to-day struggle in ways most people do not experience and cannot understand.

Hopefully you will find answers here.
 
Welcome! I'm new here as well. Your story sounds similar to mine and I think so many others. The more I read the threads on here, the more I FINALLY feel I can fit in somewhere.
 
Hi welcome to the forum, I was recently diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome at the age of 34, just waiting for the full diagnostic report now. Like you, I struggled educationally even though I am very intelligent, all my siblings have degrees and I don't.
 
Hi. Welcome. I hope that things turn out well for you. This is a good place to come to to get feedback and just talk to people. I'm 21 and a college student, but barely. I've had 3 medical withdrawals because of self-harm/depression.
 
Welcome, this site has been a great resource for me. I am in my late forties, and have had lots of ups and downs due to this condition, but persevere and push on with the help and support of this community.
 
Welcome! I am new here as well. I hope you find this forum helpful and have a good time on here!
 
Take some 5 HTP to feel better, GABA to stop overthinking everything, L-theanine for a more calm feeling, and L-Tyrosine for some good motivation, then smoke a lot of pot for a better understanding of human emotion.
 
First of all, for someone who has no practise with typing in English, you have done a fabulous job! Better than some English ones actually.

I am unoffical too and sadly, no chance for me to get an official diagnosis, for where I live ( not born), in France, they do not recognise aspergers. However, I have no doubt that I have aspergers and those who are around me long enough, can tell as well. Just of late, someone keeps teasing me and in the end is looking embarrassed themselves, because I have taken them literally!

There is no doubt, that you will find valuble information on here, so very much welcome and again, your English is fantastic!
