Why are some aspies more prone to severe depression?

Post Reply New Topic

For me, it's loneliness, not having an income because of school, and not fitting in with my other classmates.

I can tell you right now, that certain people, such as myself, get it without any root or origin to it. It just hits me out of nowhere.

I can shake it off, sometimes it takes longer. But I've never been suicidal bad.

Mine comes from loneliness, and is always triggered by events, such as being ditched by people who I think are my friends, or being rejected by girls who go after the arrogant jerks that most women seem to be attracted to. I'm almost certain that my depressions would end if I could find that special someone. I just wish I knew how to find her.

Because we're lonely as hell. Well, I am...

I find this odd because whenI first met my boyfriend (online) he was going through a very deep depression and thought the whole world hated him. He thought people on a forum were ignoring his posts on purpose, or that ppl in an interactive online game were out to get him, just to be mean. Meanwhile he apparently had a loving and supportive family. What I guess I can't understand as an objective third party is that he tells me he was never hugged or fondled over much as a child. His parents apparently didn't frequently say they loved him. it was silently understood. and it pains me to know that maybe because I was brought up completely differently. I was an only child, spoiled, doted on, hugged, kissed, the works. And to know that he hasn't been just makes me sad. It really depends on how you're raised in some cases I guess. I myself have never been depressed in my life, I love my life even though I have difficulty keeping friends. I knew at least my parents loved me unconditionally. and now I'm hoping maybe I can help out my bf feel that same way. That someone's always there for him when he needs them to be.

blah lookit me spouting mush everywhere lol.

Most of the touching that I received from humans was beatings.

People want to keep me away from animals because the animals give me the touching that I need, just like they will for anyone. Humans want to put away animals because they touch our hearts and souls.

Humans don't grow up like this as a race, I don't believe it. I believe that it is retrograde behavior, pulling back from the future, continuing the cycle of violence, twisting what we know into meaningless weirdness. I can see it in people's eyes and speech when they buy into this. When I feel myself buying into it I get physically ill. My life force declines. I hurt. It is like a punishment but it's not. I depend on rightness to be alive. When it goes I go.

Communication is so damn hard. Sometimes were not social, some of us are but just stumble around a lot and people think were weird. For me Ive been very shy all my life which has been a primary reason. In highschool, I almost couldnt make friends. In this first semester of college friendships are easier but Ive been through so much, so much mess ups because of my shyness and aspieness. I have a lack of exeriance as well as not knowing how to communicate. I seriously suck and yep suffering from depression. Hating my damn life.
