Hullo,

I'm Marcy and I was just diagnosed with AS on Thursday. I'm not quite sure how to process the information. I'm 25 and my psychologist says that I'm quite high-functioning, as I adapted well as a child through therapy and environmental factors.

I guess I just found this website through Google today as I was punching myself in the face. I get compelled to do repetitive behaviours, often I punch myself in the leg or the arm. I cut, and have cut since I was 15. It's not a depressive thing, I just do it because I feel disconnected and it calms me down.

I don't really know how much I want to go into all the symptoms my psychologist and psychiatrist gave me that made them come to the conclusion that I have AS, I just wanted to say...here I am. Maybe I'll discuss them later.

I also have Bipolar Disorder and was diagnosed at the age of 19, which is a whole other basket of snakes to itself.

Hi there, Marcy! I was just diagnosed with AS on Thursday too!! I was relieved because I knew there was something wrong with me all my life and now I finally know what it is! Unfortunately I use to cut too from age 16 1/2 to age 19 1/2 but I found someone that helped me stop and made me very happy! Not a boyfriend or a friend but a musician! Music is great therapy! The music I use to listen to made me depressed but I finally found music that made me happy! Maybe you should find something that'll help you stop cutting too. Do u like music?

BillyIdolFan217,
I do like music, especially showtunes. Sometimes it helps me, sometimes it doesn't.

Thanks everyone for the welcome!
