Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
hya i've been thinking about my depression for a while and im wondering if theres more than meets the eye to this.
i have been through a lot of traumatic situations in my life, but i wondered whether i have asperger's too, alike my brother.
i DO obbsess over things, like what conditions i have, my life etc etc.
it's hard to explain all in one go really. i have major anxiety over everything, but i feel it's because of my low esteem.
i had been educated at home for 14 years of my life, over protected and over isolated... this in turn out of all the kids, made ME depressed. no one told me it was wrong to be in that situation i just knew, and i hated it. i wanted freedom, everday id ask my mum 'why cant i do other stuff like kids my age? why cant i go out? whats wrong with the friends i have?'....
i guess i obbsess over things because im not happy being me... but i often get depressed because of the same routines. that seems to make aspies happy. but i bloody hate it.
could you look on my profile and tell me if you believe i have asperger's? i know its pathetic but i need to beat my mum, shes told me throughout my teen life that i have this, or that. and i want to feel good in myself and know whats up with me.
if i sound fairly normal however could you tell me? and also do you think social reclusion can make someone a bit abnormal? i can socialise ok, i just feel nervous and uneeded. please help me here, im confused. my brother has it so im not agaisnt it but its hard to be anyone when you are a condition rather than a person

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
bizarrely enough, i have also been speculating if i had asperger's.....i'm really not that smart, i really don't think i am atleast. also i am kinda very socially awkward....i may also have a personality disorder, it's at the point where i know something is wrong, i just don't know what. according to my therapist i'm too young for a personality disorder. so i'm confused and i wonder alot of the time whats wrong with me....
Solution? Power. I am what I am, not what othes want me to be and not what I think I "should" be. I don't know much about the disease, I know a lot about abuse and pain and depression. For me the answer is to stand up and tell the world to go fuck itself, I will be what I am. "I am not an animal" (Movie"Elephant man)
