WP helpfull or more depressing?

Post Reply New Topic

i eventualy realised that WP let me realise that i have some thing that should make people smarter but yet i dont get born with it why?

therefor i tought i whas just a complete failure now i know what i am im a malfunctuion that is malfunctioning

of the malfunction's malfunction i mean if my malfunction is malfunctioning why the hell do i even bother then?

really why didnt i got born with one arm or on eye inplace of being born with just a screwd up brain

i mean come one how the hell can you even lose all aspects of life

i mean this site is a great help for me but it made me realise that my familie is right about me im screwd up

anyway the question is did you grow happy'er of this site or sadder?

altough i coulnd live without this site anymore now i know it

to start of dont say im not a failure cause i really am i did failed life

Uh, it's kind of impossible to fail at life.
Unless you work as a professional butt-wiper or something. Which I doubt is even an actual job.
Anyway. WP makes me feel happy because I feel there are people who understand, but sad sometimes too because there are people who have it so much more worse than I do and I can't fix it for them.

I think it's mostly helpful and interesting.

Couldn't agree more

The only thing that made me more depressed on WP is the talking smileys adverts that scream "oh my god!" if you accidentally mouse over them

LOL xD
anyway whats the point of life if your not living it

Browsing WP depresses me sometimes when I read posts from people who hate their life, their parents don't understand them, they have no friends, no job, etc. I can't relate to those people because I have an understanding family, friends, job, etc

thats what i mean why do i get all the crapp?and get nothing back from it ive been desperatly searching WP for all info and now i know what i really am i wish i never knew i whas aspie

that I agree on.

A little off topic: That's what my aunt does for a living basically, she works in a nursing home... she told me one day "You should get a job wiping butts too"

On topic: Basically this site has allowed me to figure out myself a little more. I still ask the question "Am I Aspie? NT? As my symptoms suggests somewhere in a gray area between the two?" Even my therapist isn't sure. Isn't sure is a bad place to be, but in the meantime I find this forum interesting and Autism an interesting thing to read and know more about, cause I knew almost nothing about this less than a year ago until someone suggested it to me. Since then ironically there was one week where two people I just met asked me if I was Autistic, if I didn't know more about this, I wouldn't have known what to think or how to respond.

Well, I was aware of my own particular psichology way before I came upon WP, and I had no reason at all to think that I was unique in that... so, no, I didn't grew sadder with WP, nor do I expect to in the foreseeable future. About the only thing that WP has told me so far that I didn't knew, is the meaning of a few formal and informal terms about psichology... and I rarely ever feel depressed about learning something. Quite the contrary.

If anything, I should think that normal, NT-populated forums would give me more reasons to be depressed. But alas, they're by far my main way of socializing, so I'm just as happy in them.

Hi UndercoverAlien,

Please, stop looking thru the eyes of someone judgemental 'cos really you are your own judge and you are good the way you are, man.

Does it really matter much what a nt-let thinks about you. Most are too stupid to see anyway, I think. No more an instable self-esteem for this boy. f**k all, I go my own way. Whatever, nevermind.

Some say, I wish I never knew I'm an Aspie....Duh. I'm not.
The moment I became really sure what made me what I am, i.e. a HF. autist I let it go. Stopped caring all together what others think about me. Little nuance, I wish not to grow indifferent and choice the ones I care about carefully.

By the way are you Dutch or Flamish? I thought I read somewhere in one of your posts a little reference to it.

Best of luck to you,
Ceesjan

p.s. To me WP isn't depressing at all.

I was really happy to find out about AS. All sorts of things made sense that had confused me before. For years I thought that I was unpopular because people were jealous that I was cleverer than them. My response was to try to act as stupid as them, and then when that didn't work to act even stupider.

AS wasn't really recognised when I was in school. If it had been I think I would have had a much happier and more productive childhood.

I think support forums are what you make of them. I think if you spend too much time focusing on your issues and avoiding life then yeah it's going to be more depressing. But it's great to have a place to find people like one another, people to relate to, and can talk about the things NTs don't get.

It gets me a little depressed when I read some of the political and religious posts.. Beyond that, it's become a useful means of coping. I literally have nobody I can really talk to about the things going on in my head, so this provides an outlet and reminds me that I'm not the only person dealing with this stuff.
