I'm not happy.

Post Reply New Topic

I'm starting to feel depressed all the time. There is rarely anything anymore that can make me truly smile, much less really laugh like I mean it. I feel lonely all the time. No one around me has Aspergers (my parents, my sister, my friends, and all my classmates are NTs.)

Does anyone have any advice? I want so badly to feel truly happy again.

Try to find the balance between how much you can change your life to make you happier, and between how much of what you can't change you can reframe in your mind from a more positive angle.

Ah, that is really good advice. But also, is there an autism/asperger service center near you so that you can meet other people like you? I don't know how you emotionally respond to people, but you sound pretty lonely from your post.

Try Google "how to be happy" or "fun things to do".

hello sunshine
keep talkin' to the rest of us here on WP. keep your eyes open, check the forums here, maybe you can find an aspie meet-up happening near where you live.

Sometimes all I need is a Heineken and an episode of House. If House isn't on, I watch House on hulu. If I don't have any Heinekens, I drink Samuel Adams. It's the little things that keep me going.

As for the lonely part, do you really need Aspie buddies? NT's are funny as hell. I could watch them all day.
