My name's Daniel. I'm 24 years old and I have been through several possible diagnosis over the years. In early jr high I was court ordered to see a child psychologist who said I was in the pre stages of developing schizophrenia. My mom didn't like that so my grandpa paid for another private practice child psychologist who said I had aspergers syndrome. I'm currently unsure without a diagnosis. I basically try to cope on a daily basis with what seems like a deteriorating mental status. I've had one girlfriend my entire life because im so reclusive and I have little to no friends. Life is hard being this way and I'm trying to change myself but I have no idea where to start seeing as how I have no idea whats wrong with me. I send off a vibe to people that turns them away from me. I want to live a full life and I want to succeed. I ad a revelation when Elliot Rodger (who had AS) committed his shooting in the city I lived in for 14 years and we had so much in common its scary. that's not me but damn I look at him and see me. even the anger and frustration except for im channeling it into positive energy, or tying to at least. Just a little about me and why im here, thank you for welcoming me :)

hey,

anyone would be confused with such diagnoses from different experts.

These folks are true experts in helping sort that out and getting your body back to cooperating with where you want to go in life.

You'll need grandpa's financial help for this. Still, it will be incredibly worth it. you're young. the investment now in understanding the biochemical root causes is really gold for you.

if you can't get to them or they don't have an outpatient clinic near you, then call them for advice on finding someone who understands such biochemical testing and nutritional therapy/medicine.

good luck.

Hi & Welcome,
Making mental progress is something like eating. But instead of food you digest your experiences and try to convert them into lessons you can use to do better and have more success.

What made Rodger a criminal and egocentric fool, was his thinking that the things in life were all owed to him, and should just be given to him. It doesn't work that way of course.

But coming to terms with your situation honestly is part of the first stage in improving it. So good luck and I hope you can find enjoyable and useful conversations here.
