| Hey peoples, :D I have not been tested for this but just googled "slow information processing". Because I think this might be one of my issues. I mean, during a conversation, I used to not even think it's possible to digest what is going on, so I used to not even try. Except if I got the rare pleasu... |

| I can't get myself to brush my teeth. I don't even know why. I don't think the toothpaste is too strong. It's more like it's an invasion, a touch I don't want. And maybe it's work and boring. It's ironic because I do care how I look. I'm picky about my hair. I do try to brush my teeth before meeting... |

| You know what, I saw another interview, and - screw whatever I said. Thing is, the mere definition of AS is that you can't cope in some ways and it keeps you from leading a normal life. She definitely knows how to get what she wants. There's that fine border of where it's only some traits that you c... |

| I have never liked her, she seemed much too crude to me. But I have recently seen her infamous Letterman show on youtube and a clip from Evita and that's what made me come here with the intent of posting the same question that started this thread. I definitely think she does. I'm a show biz person a... |

| I've recently realized that my friends are only my friends because they are very patient and forgiving. My best friend from childhood always tried to get into how I feel in our teenage years and that got on my nerves big time. We didn't speak for a couple of years until it dawned on me that I'm not ... |

| I was told I could die if I tried it again. Last time I had to go to hosp with really intense fevers and they couldn't even measure my BP because it was too low. I take Luvox now and it did pull me out of the hole so I'm quite fortunate anyway, plus it works for some of my anxiety. However I still ... |

| I have mood swings and was prescribed Lamictal (Lamotrigin). After 2 days I felt sane. The dysphoric background "noise" in my head just stopped. It felt super. And no mood swings. I was told the med might make me less depressed after a while too. I had no side effects to begin with which was odd, a... |

| In truth I'd be more happy to leave it all and only see to it that everything around the house is running smoothly. But that is the most defeated thing to do! :x I have to add that this is what I've done for the last 12 years and it has NOT made me happy. It was nothing but giving in and hiding and... |

| But the first step is to decide what you are going to DO to make your life worth living, so the you have the best chance possible of being happy for the long term. Problem is, my life looks great on the outside. The reasons I'm depressed sound really spoiled. Well, a little less to me now that I kn... |

| Presence of other people makes it easier. WHAT??? 8O That's... great for you. I've tried a workout program. 12 weeks. They swore I'd get hooked eventually. Never happened. I never get that "high" people are talking about either. I get sort of a high expressing myself, dancing for instance. But that... |

| Thanks for your answer, DW. My problem seems to be that my body doesn't produce enough serotonin. I've had a whole panel done by a naturopath and my serotonin was really low. She gave me 5htp, just that her dose was way too high for me, so I'm getting it by mail. It might be that my body gets used t... |
