| That's essentially how I socialise. I don't like parties at all - but any many people don't like big loud parties either, so it's by no means weird. It's just the college lifestyle perpetuated by a few people and a flock of sheep. I don't feel peer pressure much at all, so I don't really care if I ... |

| On Saturday night there will be a party in the dorm where I live. On the same night my classmates are having a party. I don't want to attend either of them. If I stay here in my room I would pretty much have to attend the party in the dorm (it's a room crawl which means people are going to drink one... |

| It sounds like it might be a combination of things. Is there any way you can get treatment whilst you're going through the process of getting a diagnosis? Is your psychologist helpful and have you told him about these problems? I've only seen the psychologist twice and I don't think she's the one I... |

| Is this a new problem for you, and has it corresponded with other symptoms of the conditions you mention? I guess that depends on how you define "new". I feel like it's been getting worse as my depression has gotten worse but I've had these problems since I moved away from home. I'm not sure the la... |

| So I'm a bit confused about a problem I'm having. I've been suspected of having things such as AS and/or ADD but I have no official diagnoses yet (still queueing to get assessed). However, I'll be receiving my diagnoses of Depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder any day now (my psychologist has ... |

| Just got home from town. Met two old friends I hadn't met in a long time (not sure I'd call them friends nowadays). Had quite a good time at first. They talked a bit about what they've been up to and then they asked me some questions and I got to talk about things I find interesting. After a while w... |

| It sounds like an obsession issue, but may also be at least partly a sensory issue, if your hearing is overly sensitive to sound. Are you sensitive to other sounds--that is, do you hear other sounds too loudly also? What do you mean by "obsession issue"? I'd say I'm sensitive to other sounds as wel... |

| I've pretty much always been very aware of my breathing. I don't think about it all the time but I do think about it quite a lot. I'm just very aware of it. Right now for example. I find it really annoying and I really don't like it. One of the most annoying noises I know is the sound of people brea... |

| Is it nice where you live? Sometimes just going outside and going for a walk and focusing on breathing and your steps becomes a nice meditative state, or walking while listening to music. What kind of music do you like? I really like Modest Mouse, The Flaming Lips, Fiona Apple, things like that. A ... |

I'm feeling very depressed right now and time goes by very slowly. I'm failing at life and I don't understand why this is happening to me. |

| As a veteran of drinking too much at parties etc, I'd guess what you are feeling is shame. Don't though. Everybody does stupid stuff sometimes when they are drunk and it doesn't sound like you did anything stupid. You are just not used to the next day feeling. Yes, it's probably shame but I think t... |

| If it helps any, I don't really know if I have AS or not either as I am self-diagnosed and still trying to figure out if I will ever seek a real diagnosis or not. However, what you have to realize is that the diagnosis will change noting about who you are. It may explain a few of your idiosyncrasie... |

| I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. Plenty of people act stupid in those situations and I seriously doubt it will be held against you. If anything, it will only serve to make you more popular and accepted. Just remember: You weren't the only one doing these things. You probably have some social anx... |

| I don't drink and party often. I don't really like it (too noisy, too many people, too much happening at once etc). I'm a student and I live in a dorm (thankfully got my own room though) and there was a party in the dorm yesterday. I decided to join in for once. I ended up drinking quite a bit and i... |
