Overwhelming stress and going to be on my own soon N' crap.

Post Reply New Topic

First, my interests are puppetry & animation in the media. I have my own public access television program were I'm at. Every episode is made each month for the station.

I want to make it look high budget even though it's low budget and it's just me doing all this. Plus I got High School, job searching / life skills programs, chores at home, etc.

Plus when I do the show, I tend to do everything at once. Plus I have my parents ask me for favors. I like to help out my parents because I'm a good person.

I only got 1 month and 1/2 of school left, I'm waitting for an appartment, looking for a job of my interests, etc.


But pretty much because of my Asperger's, I get overwhelmed.
Plus other than my public access show and my interests. I have no real life.

I got a best friend in RI, who I believe has high funtioning Autism (it's more lower and slower than Asperger's) and the only things he wants to talk about is classic pop culture.

I love the stuff too but I got nobody to talk out my problems with.
I have no girlfriend. I've never had a relationship or dated. And I'm freakin' 19. How embarrising is that.

At the same time, I'm trying to plan out my life. But there's nothing out there of my interests. My life outside my inner world is pretty much shot.

Sorry, I'm just compaining my problems like a moron. You probably don't want to read this crap anymore. I understand.

I'm a year less than you and have no experiance with girls...
you vent all you like that's why were here

You're 19 and you want to hold the whole world in your hands already ? Having a relationship is not the be all and end all, I did not have anyone until I was 24. IF you are seeking your own place, plus making your own show, I would say you are doing pretty damn well and shouldn't be so hard on yourself.

yeah...I don't get my own show...

Good on you for getting your own show.


Dude, relax. You're 19 and have your whole adult life ahead of you. Not knowing where you'll be or what you'll be doing is normal.


While the lack-of-relationship thing can be annoying, it's better than many of the relationships I've watched crash and burn around me. It took me a long time to accept my non-romantic lifestyle, and I don't expect you to just give up on getting a girlfriend, but it's not as big a deal as your friends think it is.


Best of luck with your full plate of activities, and if any female fans of your show ever want to meet you, say yes.

Eric, you're doing so well! Why the rush to get an apartment? I understand how stressful it feels to be out on your own. Perhaps if you divided into small steps such as getting settled in a job first and then thinking about the apartment, it wouldn't be so overwhelming.

Good luck!

Oh wait. I got another issue. Unfortunatly, I might need to cancel my public access show for now. Because there's too much going on in my life.

I live in a big house, and got to keep things in great order for my parents.

I'm finishing school.

Learning to live on my own, etc.


I love my show, but I'm trying to get very high-tech with it and I've got nobody to help me out with it. Most of my free time goes into making the show. Alot of times over time were it interfears with importaint stuff.

I need to meet people who are professional at this stuff, I want this show to get off the ground one of these days.

But for right now, It's too overwelming to do in my life right now, making a high-tech show every month by myself.

It's very painful for me, but I guess it's for the best. I might still do small bits on YouTube.com though.

I'll ask the public access place and see if I can do it as specials than a series.

Good News, I don't have to lose the show. I talked to the public access place and they told me that I can do freelance. So It's no longer on a real scedule.

P.S. Is it true that Aspies get overwhelmed easily? I know I do.
What causes it?
