Greetings everyone!

I'm not sure how to introduce myself...I'm not good with formalities and such. All I can say is this is a giant leap for me to do simply because I'm not sure if what I am looking for is here and I'm not sure if what I'm going through will ever be fixed or leveled to a point where I can enjoy life.

I've been struggling with Asperger's since probably when I was a kid at best that I can remember. I've never been one to get along with other's or simply understand them. I never knew how or what to react in situations when dealing with people. I feel sometimes alienated with them or sometimes I wish to sympathize with them and try my best to understand what it's like to feel "human."

I sound more like a stranger to myself than I do to people. It's been a rough ride throughout my life dealing with this. I've heard some successful stories of many whom seem to do just fine with Asperger's and people diagnosed with many things that I am fortunate not to have. I dream of the possibility of getting to know what that might be someday.

I've lost a lot of friends I thought I had and the ones I did have simply I had pushed away. I'm not sure as to why, but it happened. I can't explain the feeling, but it just seems to click whenever it feels like inside me. I feel lonely and unsure of how I keep successfully pressing on to live.

I've tried certain medications and some don't work and I guess I've yet to find the right one. I've tried therapy, but it feels like it's not getting me anywhere. I sort of feel like that guy Sai on Naruto Shippudden.

Anyway, I hope to get to know you guys as time moves on if I can.

I apologize if my post doesn't make much sense. I tend to type what I think rather than revise and write in proper English way.

well, we can always be a basis of comparison. I'm finding all sorts of 'strange' behavior I thought was just me is actually part of the spectrum. Hang around, we're all friends here...;)

Hey,

Thanks for the warm welcome. I don't what to say. I've been so anti-social lately I can't even think of where to start off.

So I had this question I just thought of: Should I be seeking a Asperger's community in my area or should I try and find a suitable psychiatrist or both? I did some research and found this Autism Society of MN on Wycliff in St. Paul. Only thing I think that sucks is they only meet once a month :(

So hard to write right now. I'm so depressed. I seriously think I tried thawing out any hopes of recovering. I almost want to suicide. Not sure. Work is becoming a new issue lately. Thinking people hate me up there or maybe it's that cycle I am going through. I don't know.

Strigon
