    Feeling empty inside

    Well I've now got an official diagnosis of aspergers and I've started on 5mg of lexapro. So hopefully I'll get my head together and start enjoying life☺️

    Misophonia and Aspies?

    Wow I'd never heard of that before but it makes sense of so much for me. The sound of people eating drives me crazy so much so that I've often left the room. I am driven to distraction by people sniffing and say to hell with it and offer them a tissue. The sound of snoring I find totally...

    Feeling empty inside

    I walk every morning and it does help. I think about what's troubling me and sometimes I do feel a lot more positive and I am trying to be nicer to myself. I'm definitely going to discuss this with the doc tomorrow

    Feeling empty inside

    Thanks I will check out the book. Would you believe that 5htp is banned here in Ireland it is however available over the counter when you cross the border. I take it for fibromyalgia I haven't heard of GABA.

    Feeling empty inside

    I have an appointment on Monday so I will see what he says. I have been doing some reading and found it helpful, but today when I needed it most I had no energy for it.

    Initial assessment has caused lot of sadness/anxiety

    This is exactly how I feel, I cry inside for the child, the teenager and the young woman who struggled and could never understand why she was always on the outside looking in, like a child looking in the sweet shop window with no money to spend.

    Feeling empty inside

    I'm a middle aged self diagnosed woman who's never felt a part of anything. I have a family christening coming up in four weeks and I've been asked to be godmother. This is a great honour and I of course accepted. The problem is that in social situations like that I just seem to feel hollow...

    Sometimes I cannot communicate

    I know exactly how you feel, I've just spent two days away at a family funereal with no chance of being on my own at all, and then straight back to work. This is hard because everybody wants to talk and ask questions about my father in law who passed. I'm just numb I can't interact, I have...

    Running into people you know when you're out

    I hate running into people I know and havnt seen for awhile. My first thought is oh no what am I going to say that won't be boring. I just can't do casual conversation I usually try to pretend I haven't seen them. I usually feel that I'm doing them a favour as well. If I see them at a distance...

    Do you find advice or life coaching for NT's useless for you?

    I have read loads of self help books always trying to find that one elusive something that would make everything ok. More often than not I was in a bad place and desperate for help and what I've always found is that they always reccomend talking to a friend ringing a friend enlisting the help of...

    Miserable

    I'm having a really bad week, I said something stupid in work that got people really angry and mad at me. I know I made a big mistake but now they just ignore me. I just pretend I don't care but I'm in agony. Why the hell do I keep turning people against me. I am so lonely, I can't talk to my...

    Extreme conversational difficulty with those closest to you?

    I know exactly what you mean, I can't remember the last time I had a conversation with my husband. It is very frustrating to know there is no point in even trying. I wish I had some useful advice but I will watch this thread in hope that someone dose

    Miserable

    I agree I keep having these OMG that explains what went wrong there moments. Plus it isn't always clear to me how to improve on what I've being doing that caused problems. I am a work in progress and it's great to know I'm not alone, I think I find that the hardest that feeling of being on the...
