The only advice I can give is to find activities to keep you busy. The more time you have to just sit around and think, the more time you have to ponder and get depressed about your social situation.

I am sorry to hear that Draken108 is unhappy becuase he feels alone. My advice to you does sound more easy to say than to do, but it is to relax a moment and not to try too hard to find that special person who you.

Try to find some activity which is legal, socially acceptable and not harmful to your health that you enjoy, this will help you pass some time. Also I might sound like Dr Nasty the mean university teacher but make sure that you keep up to date with your college work.

The reason I say this is that college work can bring some order to your life, also depending on what subject you are doing you may well have a large number of teaching events. If you go along to the teaching events always undertsand that as well as learning you will meet with the rest of your class. I assume that you are at University so the people will be less riotous than school kids, while you may not like all of your class mates you may well meet some people who you get on with.

You may then find some common interest, but make sure that the common interest is not wild parties and crazy drinking. I hold the view that the booze will mess with you big time and make it harder for the average college student to cope. So if you do have a drink then keep a lid on it and only drink in moderation.

Also try to keep cheerful.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

Tai Chi


mindfulness...practice staying in the present moment by focusing your attention on whatever is going on...and to minute details...don't let your mind wander off to other things like your misery for instance
