Hi, I'm new here, my name is Harry, I'm 22, and I decided to sign up here after hearing a friend of mine mention this site when he said he had Asperger's. I have never been formally diagnosed with any mental condition, although various friends of mine have tried to say I'm bipolar, depressed, ADHD, ADD, borderline, antisocial, etc etc etc covering pretty much all personality and mental conditions, up to mild schizophrenia or Asperger's syndrome. I have never been diagnosed with anything, in large part due to my parent's beliefs on mental conditions (ie: if it's not SEVERE psychosis or SEVERE retardation, then a person is just faking it because they want to get high off the medication or because they're lazy and are looking for an excuse to not have to work hard. For example, when I was a teenager I once told my mom I wanted to jam a knife through my carotid artery, at which point she yelled at me for being disrespectful to her, her idea being that I'm intelligent therefore cannot have suicidal thoughts.)

Anyway, yah, due to consistently high results on every personality disorder, Autism/Asperger's, depression, etc test I could find, having a panic attack due to a fight with a female friend of mine a while ago, increasing concerns from some to get a diagnosis (at least for something minor like anxiety or depression), I joined this site...

So yah, Hi
