Live, attempt trusting anything new, bother to leave the house?

Well I am spent anyway, that's why I went to the phychologist a few months back and found out about Aspergers.

I have crossed everything off, I don't even feel sorrow writing this, it's just fact, I lost the will...

Thought I'd just 'put that out there.' Joy.

You have lost the will to... Read wingy posts such as this?! OR...

One of our greatest challenges as ASpies is making friends, and having romantic encounters. We have face-blindness, which cripples us in daily social settings, and personal ones. You don't say exactly what's bothering you, but I remember being desperately depressed at not being able to connect with people. I once offered to set up a taunteen with my mates, where we'd all put in money, bank it, and the last to get married would get the funds. I was THAT convinced I would never find a woman who would want to marry me ! !! The other things that depress us are the stress we feel every day. The world is too noisy, too brightly lit, too busy for us. We retreat and are then told we're "loners". I hope this helps, I see you've haven't posted much, the more you read here, the better you can understand this baffling problem we have.

Astute, though there are not many worth making friends with. Prefering your own company has its pitfalls, I just wonder why I don't feel driven anymore, a winding down process.

Lost the will to live?

Welcome to the club.

Might I recommend some antidepressants?

ha no thank you. Green tea, diet free from all known allergens, supplements, exercise. I am not depressed, just don't feel driven and wonder why I haven't attempted to reintergrate again, it's been months of nothing. Bizaare for me, piano, write, bed, draw, piano, eat, drink, sleep, write. Meh. was blinded by street lights, felt bigigardy and attempted to seek out some motivation, just didn't go about it the right way :roll:
