Hey...

I am an 18 year old who was diagnosed with aspergers at a very young age. I've had life long issues.... but I felt more confident and in control of my true self in my later years of highschool. However, from the very last year and through college I've been struggling more and more to cope and slipped into a heavy depression. Since then I've become very uncomfortable with the feeling that I have Asperger's and feel as though I'm being treated as a label by those who know I have it, so I like to be discreet about it... I left during my second year without finishing my courses, and currently I am not in education or working. I struggle greatly with social anxiety, and have been isolating myself more and more.

I feel like I'm taking steps to recovery and becoming more confident in myself once again. I do feel like a complete outsider to the world, but I'm hoping I can change that, and can once again do basic things such as saying hello without feeling incredibly worked up. I've been a lurker of WP for quite some time and thought I'd finally try and get myself involved. I hope to make some new friends and it's refreshing to see people who may of been through/are going through similar troubles such as myself which I can relate too.

I have a wide range of interests. I love music, particularly indie and experimental, competitive gaming, anime and manga particularly of the josei demographic or whatever I just find cute >>; , and generally girly cutesy things ahaha. xD My prime obsession however is lighting design, which is career I want to pursue.

As for me, I self identify myself as a transgender male who feels I should be female, but I am comfortable enough with my body nontheless. Despite that however, I often feel troubled that I've been born into the wrong gender identity and feel as though things could be easier if I was 'born the way I was meant to be', where certain things wouldn't be so awkward for me just because I am male.

Well uh... that's me ahaha. ^^: That was a bit drawn out I guess, but hopefully that's a good introduction about me. I look forward to getting along with new people and making friends~

Welcome to WrongPlanet, Kuroyuri!

I've had anxieties and depression myself, it isn't a great place to be and I've still not fully recovered myself yet.

Hope you enjoy your stay here
